Detailed Description

QwtPlotRescaler takes care of fixed aspect ratios for plot scales.

QwtPlotRescaler auto adjusts the axes of a QwtPlot according to fixed aspect ratios.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ ExpandingDirection

When rescalePolicy() is set to Expanding its direction depends on ExpandingDirection

Enumerator
ExpandUp 

The upper limit of the scale is adjusted.

ExpandDown 

The lower limit of the scale is adjusted.

ExpandBoth 

Both limits of the scale are adjusted.

◆ RescalePolicy

The rescale policy defines how to rescale the reference axis and their depending axes.

See also
ExpandingDirection, setIntervalHint()
Enumerator
Fixed 

The interval of the reference axis remains unchanged, when the geometry of the canvas changes. All other axes will be adjusted according to their aspect ratio.

Expanding 

The interval of the reference axis will be shrunk/expanded, when the geometry of the canvas changes. All other axes will be adjusted according to their aspect ratio.

The interval, that is represented by one pixel is fixed.

Fitting 

The intervals of the axes are calculated, so that all axes include their interval hint.
