Detailed Description

Layout engine for QwtPlot. It is used by the QwtPlot widget to organize its internal widgets or by QwtPlot::print() to render its content to a QPaintDevice like a QPrinter, QPixmap/QImage or QSvgRenderer.

    Geometry for the aligned legend

  void QwtPlotLayout::alignScales (Options options, QRectF & canvasRect, QRectF scaleRect[QwtPlot::axisCnt]) const [protected]
Align the ticks of the axis to the canvas borders using the empty corners.

Parameters
    options Layout options
    canvasRect Geometry of the canvas ( IN/OUT )
    scaleRect Geometries of the scales ( IN/OUT )

Expand all line breaks in text labels, and calculate the height of their widgets in orientation of the text.

Parameters
    options Options how to layout the legend
    rect Bounding rectangle for title, footer, axes and canvas.
    dimTitle Expanded height of the title widget
    dimFooter Expanded height of the footer widget

  QRectF QwtPlotLayout::layoutLegend (Options options, const QRectF & rect) const [protected]
Find the geometry for the legend

Parameters
    options Options how to layout the legend

See also
    Options

  QwtPlot::LegendPosition QwtPlotLayout::legendPosition () const

Returns
    Position of the legend

See also
    setLegendPosition(), QwtPlot::setLegendPosition(), QwtPlot::legendPosition()

  double QwtPlotLayout::legendRatio () const

Returns
    The relative size of the legend in the plot.

See also
    setLegendPosition()

  QRectF QwtPlotLayout::legendRect () const

Returns
    Geometry for the legend

  QSize QwtPlotLayout::minimumSizeHint (const QwtPlot * plot) const [virtual]

Returns
    Minimum size hint

Parameters
    plot Plot widget

See also
    QwtPlot::minimumSizeHint()

  QRectF QwtPlotLayout::scaleRect (int axis) const

Parameters
    axis Axis index

Returns
    Geometry for the scale

    activate(), invalidate()

  void QwtPlotLayout::setAlignCanvasToScale (int axisId, bool on)
Change the align-canvas-to-axis-scales setting. The canvas may:

•   extend beyond the axis scale ends to maximize its size,

•   align with the axis scale ends to control its size.

The axisId parameter is somehow confusing as it identifies a border of the plot and not the axes, that are aligned. F.e when QwtPlot::yLeft is set, the left end of the the x-axes ( QwtPlot::xTop, QwtPlot::xBottom ) is aligned.

Parameters
    axisId Axis index
    on New align-canvas-to-axis-scales setting

See also
    setCanvasMargin(), alignCanvasToScale(), setAlignCanvasToScales()

Warning
    In case of on == true canvasMargin() will have no effect

  void QwtPlotLayout::setAlignCanvasToScales (bool on)

Set the align-canvas-to-axis-scales flag for all axes.

Parameters
    on True/False

See also
    setAlignCanvasToScale(), alignCanvasToScale()

  void QwtPlotLayout::setCanvasMargin (int margin, int axis = -1)
Change a margin of the canvas. The margin is the space above/below the scale ticks. A negative margin will be set to -1, excluding the borders of the scales.

Parameters
    margin New margin
    axis One of QwtPlot::Axis. Specifies where the position of the margin. -1 means margin at all borders.

See also
    canvasMargin()

Warning
    The margin will have no effect when alignCanvasToScale() is true

  void QwtPlotLayout::setCanvasRect (const QRectF & rect) [protected]

Set the geometry for the canvas. This method is intended to be used from derived layouts overloading activate()

See also
    canvasRect(), activate()

  void QwtPlotLayout::setFooterRect (const QRectF & rect) [protected]

Set the geometry for the footer. This method is intended to be used from derived layouts overloading activate()

See also
    footerRect(), activate()

  void QwtPlotLayout::setLegendPosition (QwtPlot::LegendPosition pos)

Specify the position of the legend.

Parameters
    pos The legend's position. Valid values are QwtPlot::LeftLegend, QwtPlot::RightLegend, QwtPlot::TopLegend, QwtPlot::BottomLegend.

See also
    QwtPlot::setLegendPosition()

  void QwtPlotLayout::setLegendPosition (QwtPlot::LegendPosition pos, double ratio)

Specify the position of the legend.

Parameters
    pos The legend's position.
    ratio Ratio between legend and the bounding rectangle of title, footer, canvas and axes. The legend will be shrunk if it would need more space than the given ratio. The ratio is limited to ]0.0 .. 1.0]. In case of <= 0.0 it will be reset to the default ratio. The default vertical/horizontal ratio is 0.33/0.5.

See also
    QwtPlot::setLegendPosition()

  void QwtPlotLayout::setLegendRatio (double ratio)
Specify the relative size of the legend in the plot

Parameters
    ratio Ratio between legend and the bounding rectangle of title, footer, canvas and axes. The legend will be shrunk if it would need more space than the given ratio. The ratio is limited to ]0.0 .. 1.0]. In case of <= 0.0 it will be reset to the default ratio. The default vertical/horizontal ratio is 0.33/0.5.

  void QwtPlotLayout::setLegendRect (const QRectF & rect) [protected]

Set the geometry for the legend. This method is intended to be used from derived layouts overloading activate()

Parameters
