Detailed Description

A Compass Widget.

QwtCompass is a widget to display and enter directions. It consists of a scale, an optional needle and rose.

Note:

The examples/dials example shows how to use QwtCompass.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QwtDial::Direction [inherited] Direction of the dial

enum QwtDial::Mode [inherited] In case of RotateNeedle the needle is rotating, in case of RotateScale, the needle points to origin() and the scale is rotating.

enum QwtDial::ScaleOptions [inherited]

see QwtDial::setScaleOptions

enum QwtAbstractSlider::ScrollMode [inherited] Scroll mode

See also:

getScrollMode()

enum QwtDial::Shadow [inherited]

Frame shadow. Unfortunately it is not possible to use QFrame::Shadow as a property of a widget that is not derived from QFrame. The following enum is made for the designer only. It is safe to use QFrame::Shadow instead.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QwtCompass::QwtCompass (QWidget *parent = NULL) [explicit]

Constructor. Parameters:

parent Parent widget

Create a compass widget with a scale, no needle and no rose. The default origin is 270.0 with no valid value. It accepts mouse and keyboard inputs and has no step size. The default mode is QwtDial::RotateNeedle.

QwtCompass::~QwtCompass () [virtual]

Destructor.

void QwtDoubleRange::setPeriodic (booltf) [inherited]

Make the range periodic. When the range is periodic, the value will be set to a point inside the interval such that

if the user tries to set a new value which is outside the range. If the range is nonperiodic (the default), values outside the range will be clipped.

Parameters:
  tf true for a periodic range

Specify range and step size. Parameters:

vmin lower boundary of the interval
vmax higher boundary of the interval

pageSize page size in steps

Warning:
  • A change of the range changes the value if it lies outside the new range. The current value will *not* be adjusted to the new step raster.
  • vmax < vmin is allowed.
  • If the step size is left out or set to zero, it will be set to 1/100 of the interval length.
  • If the step size has an absurd value, it will be corrected to a better one.
