Detailed Description

QwtPlotZoomer provides stacked zooming for a plot widget.

QwtPlotZoomer selects rectangles from user inputs ( mouse or keyboard ) translates them into plot coordinates and adjusts the axes to them. The selection is supported by a rubber band and optionally by displaying the coordinates of the current mouse position.

Zooming can be repeated as often as possible, limited only by maxStackDepth() or minZoomSize(). Each rectangle is pushed on a stack.

The default setting how to select rectangles is a QwtPickerDragRectMachine with the following bindings:

To traverse the zoom stack the following bindings are used:

The setKeyPattern() and setMousePattern() functions can be used to configure the zoomer actions. The following example shows, how to configure the 'I' and 'O' keys for zooming in and out one position on the zoom stack. The "Home" key is used to "unzoom" the plot.

zoomer = new QwtPlotZoomer( plot );
zoomer->setKeyPattern( QwtEventPattern::KeyRedo, Qt::Key_I, Qt::ShiftModifier );
zoomer->setKeyPattern( QwtEventPattern::KeyUndo, Qt::Key_O, Qt::ShiftModifier );
zoomer->setKeyPattern( QwtEventPattern::KeyHome, Qt::Key_Home );

QwtPlotZoomer is tailored for plots with one x and y axis, but it is allowed to attach a second QwtPlotZoomer ( without rubber band and tracker ) for the other axes.

Note
The realtime example includes an derived zoomer class that adds scrollbars to the plot canvas.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QwtPlotZoomer() [1/2]

QwtPlotZoomer::QwtPlotZoomer ( QWidget *  canvas,
bool  doReplot = true 
)
explicit

Create a zoomer for a plot canvas.

The zoomer is set to those x- and y-axis of the parent plot of the canvas that are enabled. If both or no x-axis are enabled, the picker is set to QwtPlot::xBottom. If both or no y-axis are enabled, it is set to QwtPlot::yLeft.

The zoomer is initialized with a QwtPickerDragRectMachine, the tracker mode is set to QwtPicker::ActiveOnly and the rubber band is set to QwtPicker::RectRubberBand

Parameters
canvasPlot canvas to observe, also the parent object
doReplotCall QwtPlot::replot() for the attached plot before initializing the zoomer with its scales. This might be necessary, when the plot is in a state with pending scale changes.
See also
QwtPlot::autoReplot(), QwtPlot::replot(), setZoomBase()

◆ QwtPlotZoomer() [2/2]

QwtPlotZoomer::QwtPlotZoomer ( int  xAxis,
int  yAxis,
QWidget *  canvas,
bool  doReplot = true 
)
explicit

Create a zoomer for a plot canvas.

The zoomer is initialized with a QwtPickerDragRectMachine, the tracker mode is set to QwtPicker::ActiveOnly and the rubber band is set to QwtPicker;;RectRubberBand

Parameters
xAxisX axis of the zoomer
yAxisY axis of the zoomer
canvasPlot canvas to observe, also the parent object
doReplotCall QwtPlot::replot() for the attached plot before initializing the zoomer with its scales. This might be necessary, when the plot is in a state with pending scale changes.

Member Function Documentation

◆ accept()

bool QwtPlotZoomer::accept ( QPolygon &  pa) const
protectedvirtual

Check and correct a selected rectangle.

Reject rectangles with a height or width < 2, otherwise expand the selected rectangle to a minimum size of 11x11 and accept it.

Returns
true If the rectangle is accepted, or has been changed to an accepted one.

Reimplemented from QwtPicker.

◆ begin()

void QwtPlotZoomer::begin ( )
protectedvirtual

Rejects selections, when the stack depth is too deep, or the zoomed rectangle is minZoomSize().

See also
minZoomSize(), maxStackDepth()

Reimplemented from QwtPicker.

◆ end()

bool QwtPlotZoomer::end ( bool  ok = true)
protectedvirtual

Expand the selected rectangle to minZoomSize() and zoom in if accepted.

Parameters
okIf true, complete the selection and emit selected signals otherwise discard the selection.
See also
accept(), minZoomSize()
Returns
True if the selection has been accepted, false otherwise

Reimplemented from QwtPlotPicker.

◆ maxStackDepth()

int QwtPlotZoomer::maxStackDepth ( ) const
Returns
Maximal depth of the zoom stack.
See also
setMaxStackDepth()

◆ minZoomSize()

QSizeF QwtPlotZoomer::minZoomSize ( ) const
protectedvirtual

Limit zooming by a minimum rectangle.

Returns
zoomBase().width() / 10e4, zoomBase().height() / 10e4

◆ moveBy

void QwtPlotZoomer::moveBy ( double  dx,
double  dy 
)
slot

Move the current zoom rectangle.

Parameters
dxX offset
dyY offset
Note
The changed rectangle is limited by the zoom base

◆ moveTo

void QwtPlotZoomer::moveTo ( const QPointF &  pos)
virtualslot

Move the the current zoom rectangle.

Parameters
posNew position
See also
QRectF::moveTo()
Note
The changed rectangle is limited by the zoom base

◆ rescale()

void QwtPlotZoomer::rescale ( )
protectedvirtual

Adjust the observed plot to zoomRect()

Note
Initiates QwtPlot::replot()

◆ setAxis()

void QwtPlotZoomer::setAxis ( int  xAxis,
int  yAxis 
)
virtual

Reinitialize the axes, and set the zoom base to their scales.

Parameters
xAxisX axis
yAxisY axis

Reimplemented from QwtPlotPicker.

◆ setMaxStackDepth()

void QwtPlotZoomer::setMaxStackDepth ( int  depth)

Limit the number of recursive zoom operations to depth.

A value of -1 set the depth to unlimited, 0 disables zooming. If the current zoom rectangle is below depth, the plot is unzoomed.

Parameters
depthMaximum for the stack depth
See also
maxStackDepth()
Note
depth doesn't include the zoom base, so zoomStack().count() might be maxStackDepth() + 1.

◆ setZoomBase() [1/2]

void QwtPlotZoomer::setZoomBase ( bool  doReplot = true)
virtual

Reinitialized the zoom stack with scaleRect() as base.

Parameters
doReplotCall QwtPlot::replot() for the attached plot before initializing the zoomer with its scales. This might be necessary, when the plot is in a state with pending scale changes.
See also
zoomBase(), scaleRect() QwtPlot::autoReplot(), QwtPlot::replot().

◆ setZoomBase() [2/2]

void QwtPlotZoomer::setZoomBase ( const QRectF &  base)
virtual

Set the initial size of the zoomer.

base is united with the current scaleRect() and the zoom stack is reinitialized with it as zoom base. plot is zoomed to scaleRect().

Parameters

See also
zoomBase(), scaleRect()

◆ setZoomStack()

void QwtPlotZoomer::setZoomStack ( const QStack< QRectF > &  zoomStack,
