Detailed Description

QwtPlotZoomer provides stacked zooming for a plot widget.

QwtPlotZoomer selects rectangles from user inputs ( mouse or keyboard ) translates them into plot coordinates and adjusts the axes to them. The selection is supported by a rubber band and optionally by displaying the coordinates of the current mouse position.

Zooming can be repeated as often as possible, limited only by maxStackDepth() or minZoomSize(). Each rectangle is pushed on a stack.

The default setting how to select rectangles is a QwtPickerDragRectMachine with the following bindings:

•

QwtEventPattern::MouseSelect1

The first point of the zoom rectangle is selected by a mouse press, the second point from the position, where the mouse is released.

•

QwtEventPattern::KeySelect1

The first key press selects the first, the second key press selects the second point.

•

QwtEventPattern::KeyAbort

Discard the selection in the state, where the first point is selected.

To traverse the zoom stack the following bindings are used:

•

QwtEventPattern::MouseSelect3, QwtEventPattern::KeyUndo

Zoom out one position on the zoom stack

•

QwtEventPattern::MouseSelect6, QwtEventPattern::KeyRedo

Zoom in one position on the zoom stack

•

QwtEventPattern::MouseSelect2, QwtEventPattern::KeyHome

Zoom to the zoom base

The setKeyPattern() and setMousePattern() functions can be used to configure the zoomer actions. The following example shows, how to configure the ’I’ and ’O’ keys for zooming in and out one position on the zoom stack. The "Home" key is used to "unzoom" the plot.

zoomer = new QwtPlotZoomer( plot );
zoomer−>setKeyPattern( QwtEventPattern::KeyRedo, Qt::Key_I, Qt::ShiftModifier );
zoomer−>setKeyPattern( QwtEventPattern::KeyUndo, Qt::Key_O, Qt::ShiftModifier );
zoomer−>setKeyPattern( QwtEventPattern::KeyHome, Qt::Key_Home );

QwtPlotZoomer is tailored for plots with one x and y axis, but it is allowed to attach a second QwtPlotZoomer ( without rubber band and tracker ) for the other axes.

Note

The realtime example includes an derived zoomer class that adds scrollbars to the plot canvas.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QwtPlotZoomer::QwtPlotZoomer (QWidget * canvas, bool doReplot = true)[explicit]

Create a zoomer for a plot canvas. The zoomer is set to those x- and y-axis of the parent plot of the canvas that are enabled. If both or no x-axis are enabled, the picker is set to QwtAxis::XBottom. If both or no y-axis are enabled, it is set to QwtAxis::YLeft.

The zoomer is initialized with a QwtPickerDragRectMachine, the tracker mode is set to QwtPicker::ActiveOnly and the rubber band is set to QwtPicker::RectRubberBand

Parameters

canvas Plot canvas to observe, also the parent object
doReplot Call QwtPlot::replot() for the attached plot before initializing the zoomer with its scales. This might be necessary, when the plot is in a state with pending scale changes.

Parameters

xAxisId X axis of the zoomer
yAxisId Y axis of the zoomer
canvas Plot canvas to observe, also the parent object
