class QCustomPlot
 

Detailed Description

Holds multiple axes and arranges them in a rectangular shape.

This class represents an axis rect, a rectangular area that is bounded on all sides with an arbitrary number of axes.

Initially QCustomPlot has one axis rect, accessible via QCustomPlot::axisRect(). However, the layout system allows to have multiple axis rects, e.g. arranged in a grid layout (QCustomPlot::plotLayout).

By default, QCPAxisRect comes with four axes, at bottom, top, left and right. They can be accessed via axis by providing the respective axis type (QCPAxis::AxisType) and index. If you need all axes in the axis rect, use axes. The top and right axes are set to be invisible initially (QCPAxis::setVisible). To add more axes to a side, use addAxis or addAxes. To remove an axis, use removeAxis.

The axis rect layerable itself only draws a background pixmap or color, if specified (setBackground). It is placed on the "background" layer initially (see QCPLayer for an explanation of the QCustomPlot layer system). The axes that are held by the axis rect can be placed on other layers, independently of the axis rect.

Every axis rect has a child layout of type QCPLayoutInset. It is accessible via insetLayout and can be used to have other layout elements (or even other layouts with multiple elements) hovering inside the axis rect.

If an axis rect is clicked and dragged, it processes this by moving certain axis ranges. The behaviour can be controlled with setRangeDrag and setRangeDragAxes. If the mouse wheel is scrolled while the cursor is on the axis rect, certain axes are scaled. This is controllable via setRangeZoom, setRangeZoomAxes and setRangeZoomFactor. These interactions are only enabled if QCustomPlot::setInteractions contains QCP::iRangeDrag and QCP::iRangeZoom.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QCPAxisRect::QCPAxisRect ( QCustomPlot parentPlot,
bool  setupDefaultAxes = true 
)
explicit

Creates a QCPAxisRect instance and sets default values. An axis is added for each of the four sides, the top and right axes are set invisible initially.

Member Function Documentation

QList< QCPAxis * > QCPAxisRect::addAxes ( QCPAxis::AxisTypes  types)

Adds a new axis with addAxis to each axis rect side specified in types. This may be an or-combination of QCPAxis::AxisType, so axes can be added to multiple sides at once.

Returns a list of the added axes.

See also
addAxis, setupFullAxesBox
QCPAxis * QCPAxisRect::addAxis ( QCPAxis::AxisType  type)

Adds a new axis to the axis rect side specified with type, and returns it.

If an axis rect side already contains one or more axes, the lower and upper endings of the new axis (QCPAxis::setLowerEnding, QCPAxis::setUpperEnding) are initialized to QCPLineEnding::esHalfBar.

virtual

Returns a list of all child elements in this layout element. If recursive is true, all sub-child elements are included in the list, too.

Note that there may be entries with value 0 in the returned list. (For example, QCPLayoutGrid may have empty cells which yield 0 at the respective index.)

Reimplemented from QCPLayoutElement.

QList< QCPGraph * > QCPAxisRect::graphs ( ) const

Returns a list of all the graphs that are associated with this axis rect.

A graph is considered associated with an axis rect if its key or value axis (or both) is in this axis rect.

See also
QCPLayoutInset
QList< QCPAbstractItem * > QCPAxisRect::items ( ) const

Returns a list of all the items that are associated with this axis rect.

An item is considered associated with an axis rect if any of its positions has key or value axis set to an axis that is in this axis rect, or if any of its positions has QCPItemPosition::setAxisRect set to the axis rect, or if the clip axis rect (QCPAbstractItem::setClipAxisRect) is set to this axis rect.

Reimplemented from QCPLayoutElement.

void QCPAxisRect::mousePressEvent ( QMouseEvent *  event)
protectedvirtual

This event is called, if the mouse was pressed while being inside the outer rect of this layout element.

Reimplemented from QCPLayoutElement.

void QCPAxisRect::mouseReleaseEvent ( QMouseEvent *  event)
protectedvirtual

See also
setRangeDragAxes
QCPAxis * QCPAxisRect::rangeZoomAxis ( Qt::Orientation  orientation)

Returns the range zoom axis of the orientation provided.

See also
setRangeZoomAxes
double QCPAxisRect::rangeZoomFactor ( Qt::Orientation  orientation)

Returns the range zoom factor of the orientation provided.

See also
setRangeZoomFactor
bool QCPAxisRect::removeAxis ( QCPAxis axis)

Removes the specified axis from the axis rect and deletes it.

Returns true on success, i.e. if axis was a valid axis in this axis rect.

See also
addAxis
int QCPAxisRect::right ( ) const
inline

Returns the pixel position of the right border of this axis rect. Margins are not taken into account here, so the returned value is with respect to the inner rect.

void QCPAxisRect::setBackground ( const QPixmap &  pm)

Sets pm as the axis background pixmap. The axis background pixmap will be drawn inside the axis rect. Since axis rects place themselves on the "background" layer by default, the axis rect backgrounds are usually drawn below everything else.

For cases where the provided pixmap doesn't have the same size as the axis rect, scaling can be enabled with setBackgroundScaled and the scaling mode (i.e. whether and how the aspect ratio is preserved) can be set with setBackgroundScaledMode. To set all these options in one call, consider using the overloaded version of this function.

Below the pixmap, the axis rect may be optionally filled with a brush, if specified with setBackground(const QBrush &brush).

See also
setBackgroundScaled, setBackgroundScaledMode, setBackground(const QBrush &brush)
void QCPAxisRect::setBackground ( const QPixmap &  pm,
bool  scaled,
Qt::AspectRatioMode  mode = Qt::KeepAspectRatioByExpanding 
)

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Allows setting the background pixmap of the axis rect, whether it shall be scaled and how it shall be scaled in one call.

See also
setBackground(const QPixmap &pm), setBackgroundScaled, setBackgroundScaledMode
void QCPAxisRect::setBackground ( const QBrush &  brush)

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Sets brush as the background brush. The axis rect background will be filled with this brush. Since axis rects place themselves on the "background" layer by default, the axis rect backgrounds are usually drawn below everything else.

The brush will be drawn before (under) any background pixmap, which may be specified with setBackground(const QPixmap &pm).

To disable drawing of a background brush, set brush to Qt::NoBrush.

See also
setBackground(const QPixmap &pm)
void QCPAxisRect::setBackgroundScaled ( bool  scaled)

Sets whether the axis background pixmap shall be scaled to fit the axis rect or not. If scaled is set to true, you may control whether and how the aspect ratio of the original pixmap is preserved with setBackgroundScaledMode.

Note that the scaled version of the original pixmap is buffered, so there is no performance penalty on replots. (Except when the axis rect dimensions are changed continuously.)

See also
setBackground, setBackgroundScaledMode
void QCPAxisRect::setBackgroundScaledMode ( Qt::AspectRatioMode  mode)

If scaling of the axis background pixmap is enabled (setBackgroundScaled), use this function to define whether and how the aspect ratio of the original pixmap passed to setBackground is preserved.

See also
setBackground, setBackgroundScaled
void QCPAxisRect::setRangeDrag ( Qt::Orientations  orientations)

Sets which axis orientation may be range dragged by the user with mouse interaction. What orientation corresponds to which specific axis can be set with setRangeDragAxes(QCPAxis *horizontal, QCPAxis *vertical). By default, the horizontal axis is the bottom axis (xAxis) and the vertical axis is the left axis (yAxis).

To disable range dragging entirely, pass 0 as orientations or remove QCP::iRangeDrag from QCustomPlot::setInteractions. To enable range dragging for both directions, pass Qt::Horizontal | Qt::Vertical as orientations.

In addition to setting orientations to a non-zero value, make sure QCustomPlot::setInteractions contains QCP::iRangeDrag to enable the range dragging interaction.

See also
setRangeZoom, setRangeDragAxes, setNoAntialiasingOnDrag
void QCPAxisRect::setRangeDragAxes ( QCPAxis horizontal,
QCPAxis vertical 
)

Sets the axes whose range will be dragged when setRangeDrag enables mouse range dragging on the QCustomPlot widget.

See also
setRangeZoomAxes
void QCPAxisRect::setRangeZoom ( Qt::Orientations  orientations)

Sets which axis orientation may be zoomed by the user with the mouse wheel. What orientation corresponds to which specific axis can be set with setRangeZoomAxes(QCPAxis *horizontal, QCPAxis *vertical). By default, the horizontal axis is the bottom axis (xAxis) and the vertical axis is the left axis (yAxis).

To disable range zooming entirely, pass 0 as orientations or remove QCP::iRangeZoom from QCustomPlot::setInteractions. To enable range zooming for both directions, pass Qt::Horizontal | Qt::Vertical as orientations.

In addition to setting orientations to a non-zero value, make sure QCustomPlot::setInteractions contains QCP::iRangeZoom to enable the range zooming interaction.

See also
setRangeZoomFactor, setRangeZoomAxes, setRangeDrag
void QCPAxisRect::setRangeZoomAxes ( QCPAxis horizontal,
QCPAxis vertical 
)

Sets the axes whose range will be zoomed when setRangeZoom enables mouse wheel zooming on the QCustomPlot widget. The two axes can be zoomed with different strengths, when different factors are passed to setRangeZoomFactor(double horizontalFactor, double verticalFactor).

See also
setRangeDragAxes
void QCPAxisRect::setRangeZoomFactor ( double  horizontalFactor,
double  verticalFactor 
)

Sets how strong one rotation step of the mouse wheel zooms, when range zoom was activated with setRangeZoom. The two parameters horizontalFactor and verticalFactor provide a way to let the horizontal axis zoom at different rates than the vertical axis. Which axis is horizontal and which is vertical, can be set with setRangeZoomAxes.

When the zoom factor is greater than one, scrolling the mouse wheel backwards (towards the user) will zoom in (make the currently visible range smaller). For zoom factors smaller than one, the same scrolling direction will zoom out.

void QCPAxisRect::setRangeZoomFactor ( double  factor)

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Sets both the horizontal and vertical zoom factor.

void QCPAxisRect::setupFullAxesBox ( bool  connectRanges = false)

Convenience function to create an axis on each side that doesn't have any axes yet, and assign the top/right axes the following properties of the bottom/left axes (even if they already existed and weren't created by this function):

Tick labels (QCPAxis::setTickLabels) of the right and top axes are set to false.

If connectRanges is true, the rangeChanged signals of the bottom and left axes are connected to the QCPAxis::setRange slots of the top and right axes.

QSize QCPAxisRect::size ( ) const
inline

Returns the pixel size of this axis rect. Margins are not taken into account here, so the returned value is with respect to the inner rect.

int QCPAxisRect::top ( ) const
inline

Returns the pixel position of the top border of this axis rect. Margins are not taken into account here, so the returned value is with respect to the inner rect.

QPoint QCPAxisRect::topLeft ( ) const
inline

Returns the top left corner of this axis rect in pixels. Margins are not taken into account here, so the returned value is with respect to the inner rect.

QPoint QCPAxisRect::topRight ( ) const
inline

Returns the top right corner of this axis rect in pixels. Margins are not taken into account here, so the returned value is with respect to the inner rect.

void QCPAxisRect::update ( )
virtual

This method is called automatically upon replot and doesn't need to be called by users of QCPAxisRect.

Calls the base class implementation to update the margins (see QCPLayoutElement::update), and finally passes the rect to the inset layout (insetLayout) and calls its QCPInsetLayout::update function.

Reimplemented from QCPLayoutElement.

void QCPAxisRect::wheelEvent ( QWheelEvent *  event)
protectedvirtual

This event is called, if the mouse wheel is scrolled while the cursor is inside the rect of this layout element.

Reimplemented from QCPLayoutElement.

int QCPAxisRect::width ( ) const
inline

Returns the pixel width of this axis rect. Margins are not taken into account here, so the returned value is with respect to the inner rect.
