Detailed Description

A plot item, that represents a series of points.

A curve is the representation of a series of points in the x-y plane. It supports different display styles, interpolation ( f.e. spline ) and symbols.

Usage.RS 4

a) Assign curve properties
When a curve is created, it is configured to draw black solid lines with in Lines style and no symbols. You can change this by calling setPen(), setStyle() and setSymbol().
b) Connect/Assign data.
QwtPlotCurve gets its points using a QwtData object offering a bridge to the real storage of the points ( like QAbstractItemModel ). There are several convenience classes derived from QwtData, that also store the points inside ( like QStandardItemModel ). QwtPlotCurve also offers a couple of variations of setData(), that build QwtData objects from arrays internally.
c) Attach the curve to a plot
See QwtPlotItem::attach()

Example:.RS 4 see examples/bode

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QwtPlotCurve::CurveAttributeAttribute for drawing the curve

*
Fitted ( in combination with the Lines QwtPlotCurve::CurveStyle only )

 A QwtCurveFitter tries to interpolate/smooth the curve, before it is painted. Note that curve fitting requires temorary memory for calculating coefficients and additional points. If painting in Fitted mode is slow it might be better to fit the points, before they are passed to QwtPlotCurve.
*
Inverted

 For Steps only. Draws a step function from the right to the left.

See also:

setCurveAttribute(), testCurveAttribute(), curveFitter()

enum QwtPlotCurve::CurveStyleCurve styles.

*
NoCurve

 Don't draw a curve. Note: This doesn't affect the symbols.
*
Lines

 Connect the points with straight lines. The lines might be interpolated depending on the 'Fitted' attribute. Curve fitting can be configured using setCurveFitter().
*
Sticks

 Draw vertical(Yfx) or horizontal(Xfy) sticks from a baseline which is defined by setBaseline().
*
Steps

 Connect the points with a step function. The step function is drawn from the left to the right or vice versa, depending on the 'Inverted' attribute.
*
Dots

 Draw dots at the locations of the data points. Note: This is different from a dotted line (see setPen()), and faster as a curve in NoStyle style and a symbol painting a point.
*
UserCurve

 Styles >= UserCurve are reserved for derived classes of QwtPlotCurve that overload drawCurve() with additional application specific curve types.

See also:

setStyle(), style()

enum QwtPlotCurve::CurveTypeCurve type.

*
Yfx

 Draws y as a function of x (the default). The baseline is interpreted as a horizontal line with y = baseline().
*
Xfy

 Draws x as a function of y. The baseline is interpreted as a vertical line with x = baseline().

The baseline is used for aligning the sticks, or filling the curve with a brush.

See also:

setCurveType(), curveType(), baseline() brush()

enum QwtPlotCurve::PaintAttributeAttributes to modify the drawing algorithm.

*
PaintFiltered

 Tries to reduce the data that has to be painted, by sorting out duplicates, or paintings outside the visible area. Might have a notable impact on curves with many close points. Only a couple of very basic filtering algos are implemented.
*
ClipPolygons

 Clip polygons before painting them. In situations, where points are far outside the visible area (f.e when zooming deep) this might be a substantial improvement for the painting performance ( especially on Windows ).

The default is, that no paint attributes are enabled.

void QwtPlotCurve::draw (int from, int to) const

Draw a set of points of a curve. When observing an measurement while it is running, new points have to be added to an existing curve. drawCurve can be used to display them avoiding a complete redraw of the canvas.

Setting plot()->canvas()->setAttribute(Qt::WA_PaintOutsidePaintEvent, true); will result in faster painting, if the paint engine of the canvas widget supports this feature.

Parameters:

from Index of the first point to be painted
to Index of the last point to be painted. If to < 0 the curve will be painted to its last point.

drawCurve(), drawSymbols()

void QwtPlotCurve::draw (QPainter * painter, const QwtScaleMap & xMap, const QwtScaleMap & yMap, int from, int to) const [virtual]

Draw an interval of the curve. Parameters:

painter Painter
xMap maps x-values into pixel coordinates.
yMap maps y-values into pixel coordinates.
from index of the first point to be painted
to index of the last point to be painted. If to < 0 the curve will be painted to its last point.

int QwtPlotCurve::rtti () const [virtual]Returns:

QwtPlotItem::Rtti_PlotCurve

Reimplemented from QwtPlotItem.

void QwtPlotCurve::setBaseline (double reference)

Set the value of the baseline. The baseline is needed for filling the curve with a brush or the Sticks drawing style. The default value is 0.0. The interpretation of the baseline depends on the CurveType. With QwtPlotCurve::Yfx, the baseline is interpreted as a horizontal line at y = baseline(), with QwtPlotCurve::Yfy, it is interpreted as a vertical line at x = baseline().

Parameters:

reference baseline

See also:

baseline(), setBrush(), setStyle(), setCurveType()

void QwtPlotCurve::setBrush (const QBrush & brush)

Assign a brush. In case of brush.style() != QBrush::NoBrush and style() != QwtPlotCurve::Sticks the area between the curve and the baseline will be filled.

In case !brush.color().isValid() the area will be filled by pen.color(). The fill algorithm simply connects the first and the last curve point to the baseline. So the curve data has to be sorted (ascending or descending).

Parameters:

brush New brush

See also:

brush(), setBaseline(), baseline()

void QwtPlotCurve::setCurveAttribute (CurveAttribute attribute, bool on = true)Specify an attribute for drawing the curve

Parameters:

attribute Curve attribute
on On/Off

Parameters:

curveFitter Curve fitter

void QwtPlotCurve::setCurveType (CurveType curveType)Assign the curve type

Parameters:

curveType Yfx or Xfy

Note:

Internally the data is stored in a QwtArrayData object

void QwtPlotCurve::setData (const double * xData, const double * yData, int size)Set data by copying x- and y-values from specified memory blocks. Contrary to setCurveRawData(), this function makes a 'deep copy' of the data.

Note:

Internally the data is stored in a QwtArrayData object

pen(), brush(), QwtPainter::scaledPen()

void QwtPlotCurve::setRawData (const double * xData, const double * yData, int size)

Initialize the data by pointing to memory blocks which are not managed by QwtPlotCurve. setRawData is provided for efficiency. It is important to keep the pointers during the lifetime of the underlying QwtCPointerData class.

Parameters:

xData pointer to x data
yData pointer to y data
size size of x and y

Note:

Internally the data is stored in a QwtCPointerData object
