Detailed Description

An item which draws scales and grid lines on a polar plot.

The QwtPolarGrid class can be used to draw a coordinate grid. A coordinate grid consists of major and minor gridlines. The locations of the gridlines are determined by the azimuth and radial scale divisions.

QwtPolarGrid is also responsible for drawing the axis representing the scales. It is possible to display 4 radial and one azimuth axis.

Whenever the scale divisions of the plot widget changes the grid is synchronized by updateScaleDiv().

Member Enumeration Documentation

Mysterious flags trying to avoid conflicts, when painting the scales and grid lines.

The default setting enables all flags.

setDisplayFlag(), testDisplayFlag()
Enumerator
SmartOriginLabel 

Try to avoid situations, where the label of the origin is painted over another axis.

HideMaxRadiusLabel 

Often the outermost tick of the radial scale is close to the canvas border. With HideMaxRadiusLabel enabled it is not painted.

ClipAxisBackground 

The tick labels of the radial scales might be hard to read, when they are painted on top of the radial grid lines ( or on top of a curve/spectrogram ). When ClipAxisBackground the bounding rect of each label is added to the clip region.

SmartScaleDraw 

Don't paint the backbone of the radial axes, when they are very close to a line of the azimuth grid.

ClipGridLines 

All grid lines are clipped against the plot area before being painted. When the plot is zoomed in this will have an significant impact on the performance of the painting cde.

Enumerator
AutoScaling 

When AutoScaling is enabled, the radial axes will be adjusted to the interval, that is currently visible on the canvas plot.
