Detailed Description

A helper class for translating a series of points.

QwtPointMapper is a collection of methods and optimizations for translating a series of points into paint device coordinates. It is used by QwtPlotCurve but might also be useful for similar plot items displaying a QwtSeriesData<QPointF>.

typedef QFlags<TransformationFlag > QwtPointMapper::TransformationFlags

An ORed combination of TransformationFlag values.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QwtPointMapper::TransformationFlag

Flags affecting the transformation process.

See also: setFlag(), setFlags()

Enumerator

RoundPoints: Round points to integer values.
WeedOutPoints: Try to remove points, that are translated to the same position.
WeedOutIntermediatePoints: An even more aggressive weeding algorithm, that can be used in toPolygon().

A consecutive chunk of points being mapped to the same x coordinate is reduced to 4 points:

first point
point with the minimum y coordinate
point with the maximum y coordinate
last point

In the worst case ( first and last points are never one of the extremes ) the number of points will be 4 times the width.

As the algorithm is fast it can be used inside of a polyline render cycle.

Member Function Documentation

QRectF QwtPointMapper::boundingRect () const

Returns: Bounding rectangle
See also: setBoundingRect()

Definition at line 621 of file qwt_point_mapper.cpp.

QwtPointMapper::TransformationFlags QwtPointMapper::flags () const

Returns: Flags affecting the transformation process
See also: setFlags(), setFlag()

Definition at line 573 of file qwt_point_mapper.cpp.

void QwtPointMapper::setBoundingRect (const QRectF & rect)

Set a bounding rectangle for the point mapping algorithm

A valid bounding rectangle can be used for optimizations

Parameters: rect Bounding rectangle
See also: boundingRect()

Definition at line 612 of file qwt_point_mapper.cpp.

void QwtPointMapper::setFlag (TransformationFlag flag, bool on = true)

Modify a flag affecting the transformation process

Parameters: flag Flag type
on Value
See also: flag(), setFlags()

Definition at line 586 of file qwt_point_mapper.cpp.

void QwtPointMapper::setFlags (TransformationFlags flags)

Set the flags affecting the transformation process

Parameters: flags Flags
See also: flags(), setFlag()

Definition at line 564 of file qwt_point_mapper.cpp.

bool QwtPointMapper::testFlag (TransformationFlag flag) const

Returns: True, when the flag is set
Parameters: flag Flag type
See also: setFlag(), setFlags()

QImage QwtPointMapper::toImage (const QwtScaleMap & xMap, const QwtScaleMap & yMap, const QwtSeriesData< QPointF > * series, int from, int to, const QPen & pen, bool antialiased, uint numThreads) const

Translate a series into a QImage.

Parameters: xMap x map
yMap y map
series Series of points to be mapped
from Index of the first point to be painted
to Index of the last point to be painted
pen Pen used for drawing a point of the image, where a point is mapped to
antialiased True, when the dots should be displayed antialiased
numThreads Number of threads to be used for rendering. If numThreads is set to 0, the system specific ideal thread count is used.
Returns: Image displaying the series

QPolygon QwtPointMapper::toPoints (const QwtScaleMap & xMap, const QwtScaleMap & yMap, const QwtSeriesData< QPointF > * series, int from, int to) const

Translate a series of points into a QPolygon.

WeedOutPoints & boundingRect().isValid() All points that are mapped to the same position will be one point. Points outside of the bounding rectangle are ignored.
WeedOutPoints & !boundingRect().isValid() All consecutive points that are mapped to the same position will one point
!WeedOutPoints & boundingRect().isValid() Points outside of the bounding rectangle are ignored.

Parameters: xMap x map
yMap y map
series Series of points to be mapped
from Index of the first point to be painted
to Index of the last point to be painted
Returns: Translated polygon

Definition at line 833 of file qwt_point_mapper.cpp.

QPolygonF QwtPointMapper::toPointsF (const QwtScaleMap & xMap, const QwtScaleMap & yMap, const QwtSeriesData< QPointF > * series, int from, int to) const

Translate a series into a QPolygonF.

WeedOutPoints & RoundPoints & boundingRect().isValid() All points that are mapped to the same position will be one point. Points outside of the bounding rectangle are ignored.
WeedOutPoints & RoundPoints & !boundingRect().isValid() All consecutive points that are mapped to the same position will one point
WeedOutPoints & !RoundPoints All consecutive points that are mapped to the same position will one point
!WeedOutPoints & boundingRect().isValid() Points outside of the bounding rectangle are ignored.

When RoundPoints is set all points are rounded to integers but returned as PolygonF - what only makes sense when the further processing of the values need a QPolygonF.

Parameters: xMap x map
yMap y map
series Series of points to be mapped
from Index of the first point to be painted
to Index of the last point to be painted
Returns: Translated polygon

Definition at line 759 of file qwt_point_mapper.cpp.

QPolygon QwtPointMapper::toPolygon (const QwtScaleMap & xMap, const QwtScaleMap & yMap, const QwtSeriesData< QPointF > * series, int from, int to) const

Translate a series of points into a QPolygon. When the WeedOutPoints flag is enabled consecutive points, that are mapped to the same position will be one point.

Parameters: xMap x map
yMap y map
series Series of points to be mapped
from Index of the first point to be painted
to Index of the last point to be painted
Returns: Translated polygon

Definition at line 702 of file qwt_point_mapper.cpp.

QPolygonF QwtPointMapper::toPolygonF (const QwtScaleMap & xMap, const QwtScaleMap & yMap, const QwtSeriesData< QPointF > * series, int from, int to) const

Translate a series of points into a QPolygonF. When the WeedOutPoints flag is enabled consecutive points, that are mapped to the same position will be one point.
