## 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
  a) Assign curve properties
    When a curve is created, it is configured to draw black solid lines with in QwtPlotCurve::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 QwtSeriesData object offering a bridge to the real storage of the points ( like QAbstractItemModel ). There are several convenience classes derived from QwtSeriesData, that also store the points inside ( like QStandardItemModel ). QwtPlotCurve also offers a couple of variations of setSamples(), that build QwtSeriesData objects from arrays internally.
  c) Attach the curve to a plot
    See QwtPlotItem::attach()

Example:
  see examples/bode

## Member Enumeration Documentation

## ◆ CurveAttribute

enum QwtPlotCurve::CurveAttribute

Attribute for drawing the curve

See also
  setCurveAttribute(), testCurveAttribute(), curveFitter()

Enumerator
Inverted | For QwtPlotCurve::Steps only. Draws a step function from the right to the left.
Fitted | Only in combination with QwtPlotCurve::Lines A QwtCurveFitter tries to interpolate/smooth the curve, before it is painted.

Note
  Curve fitting requires temporary memory for calculating coefficients and additional points. If painting in QwtPlotCurve::Fitted mode is slow it might be better to fit the points, before they are passed to QwtPlotCurve.

Definition at line 112 of file qwt_plot_curve.h.

## ◆ CurveStyle

enum QwtPlotCurve::CurveStyle

Curve styles.

See also
  setStyle(), style()

Enumerator
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 or horizontal sticks ( depending on the orientation() ) 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 QwtPlotCurve::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 QwtPlotCurve::NoStyle style and a symbol painting a point.
UserCurve | Styles >= QwtPlotCurve::UserCurve are reserved for derived classes of QwtPlotCurve that overload drawCurve() with additional application specific curve types.

Definition at line 65 of file qwt_plot_curve.h.

## ◆ LegendAttribute

enum QwtPlotCurve::LegendAttribute

Attributes how to represent the curve on the legend

See also
  setLegendAttribute(), testLegendAttribute(), QwtPlotItem::legendData(), legendIcon()

Enumerator
LegendNoAttribute | QwtPlotCurve tries to find a color representing the curve and paints a rectangle with it.
LegendShowLine | If the style() is not QwtPlotCurve::NoCurve a line is painted with the curve pen().
LegendShowSymbol | If the curve has a valid symbol it is painted.
LegendShowBrush | If the curve has a brush a rectangle filled with the curve brush() is painted.

Definition at line 142 of file qwt_plot_curve.h.

## ◆ PaintAttribute

enum QwtPlotCurve::PaintAttribute

Attributes to modify the drawing algorithm. The default setting enables ClipPolygons | FilterPoints

See also
  setPaintAttribute(), testPaintAttribute()

Enumerator
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
FilterPoints | 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 algorithms are implemented.
MinimizeMemory | Minimize memory usage that is temporarily needed for the translated points, before they get painted. This might slow down the performance of painting
ImageBuffer | Render the points to a temporary image and paint the image. This is a very special optimization for Dots style, when having a huge amount of points. With a reasonable number of points QPainter::drawPoints() will be faster.
FilterPointsAggressive | More aggressive point filtering trying to filter out intermediate points, accepting minor visual differences. Has only an effect, when drawing the curve to a paint device in integer coordinates ( f.e. all widgets on screen ) using the fact, that consecutive points are often mapped to the same x or y coordinate. Each chunk of samples mapped to the same coordinate can be reduced to 4 points ( first, min, max last ).

In the worst case the polygon to be rendered will be 4 times the width of the plot canvas.

The algorithm is very fast and effective for huge datasets, and can be used inside a replot cycle.

Note
  Implemented for QwtPlotCurve::Lines only
  As this algo replaces many small lines by a long one a nasty bug of the raster paint engine ( Qt 4.8, Qt 5.1 - 5.3 ) becomes more dominant. For these versions the bug can be worked around by enabling the QwtPainter::polylineSplitting() mode.

Definition at line 145 of file qwt_plot_curve.cpp.

## ◆ setBaseline()

void QwtPlotCurve::setBaseline | ( | double | value | ) |

Set the value of the baseline.

The baseline is needed for filling the curve with a brush or the Sticks drawing style.

The interpretation of the baseline depends on the orientation(). With Qt::Vertical, the baseline is interpreted as a horizontal line at y = baseline(), with Qt::Horizontal, it is interpreted as a vertical line at x = baseline().

The default value is 0.0.

Parameters

  value | Value of the baseline

See also
  baseline(), setBrush(), setStyle(), QwtPlotAbstractSeriesItem::orientation()

Definition at line 1022 of file qwt_plot_curve.cpp.

## ◆ setBrush()

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()

Definition at line 348 of file qwt_plot_curve.cpp.

## ◆ setCurveAttribute()

void QwtPlotCurve::setCurveAttribute | ( | CurveAttribute | attribute,
|  | bool | on = `true`
| ) |  |

Specify an attribute for drawing the curve

Parameters

  attribute | Curve attribute
  on | On/Off

/sa testCurveAttribute(), setCurveFitter()

Definition at line 819 of file qwt_plot_curve.cpp.

## ◆ setCurveFitter()

void QwtPlotCurve::setCurveFitter | ( | QwtCurveFitter * | curveFitter | ) |

Assign a curve fitter

The curve fitter "smooths" the curve points, when the Fitted CurveAttribute is set. setCurveFitter(NULL) also disables curve fitting.

The curve fitter operates on the translated points ( = widget coordinates) to be functional for logarithmic scales. Obviously this is less performant for fitting algorithms, that reduce the number of points.

For situations, where curve fitting is used to improve the performance of painting huge series of points it might be better to execute the fitter on the curve points once and to cache the result in the QwtSeriesData object.

Parameters

  curveFitter() | Curve fitter

  Fitted

## ◆ setLegendAttribute()

void QwtPlotCurve::setLegendAttribute | ( | LegendAttribute | attribute,

## ◆ setPen() [1/2]

void QwtPlotCurve::setPen | ( | const QColor & | color,
|  | qreal | width = `0.0`,
|  | Qt::PenStyle | style = `Qt::SolidLine`
| ) |  |

Build and assign a pen

In Qt5 the default pen width is 1.0 ( 0.0 in Qt4 ) what makes it non cosmetic ( see QPen::isCosmetic() ). This method has been introduced to hide this incompatibility.

Parameters

  color | Pen color
  width | Pen width
  style | Pen style
