Detailed Description

The Counter Widget.

A Counter consists of a label displaying a number and one ore more (up to three) push buttons on each side of the label which can be used to increment or decrement the counter's value.

A counter has a range from a minimum value to a maximum value and a step size. When the wrapping property is set the counter is circular.

The number of steps by which a button increments or decrements the value can be specified using setIncSteps(). The number of buttons can be changed with setNumButtons().

Example:

#include <qwt_counter.h>
QwtCounter *counter = new QwtCounter(parent);
counter->setRange(0.0, 100.0); // From 0.0 to 100
counter->setSingleStep( 1.0 ); // Step size 1.0
counter->setNumButtons(2); // Two buttons each side
counter->setIncSteps(QwtCounter::Button1, 1); // Button 1 increments 1 step
counter->setIncSteps(QwtCounter::Button2, 20); // Button 2 increments 20 steps
connect(counter, SIGNAL(valueChanged(double)), myClass, SLOT(newValue(double)));

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QwtCounter()

QwtCounter::QwtCounter ( QWidget *  parent = NULL)

The counter is initialized with a range is set to [0.0, 1.0] with 0.01 as single step size. The value is invalid.

The default number of buttons is set to 2. The default increments are:

  • Button 1: 1 step
  • Button 2: 10 steps
  • Button 3: 100 steps
Parameters
parent
