## Detailed Description

A scale engine for logarithmic scales.

The step size is measured in decades and the major step size will be adjusted to fit the pattern , where n is a natural number including zero.

Warning
  the step size as well as the margins are measured in decades.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ QwtLogScaleEngine()

QwtLogScaleEngine::QwtLogScaleEngine | ( | uint | base = `10` | ) |

Constructor

Parameters

  base | Base of the scale engine

  setBase()

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ align()

QwtInterval QwtLogScaleEngine::align | ( | const QwtInterval & | interval,
|  | double | stepSize
| ) |  | const

protected

Align an interval to a step size.

The limits of an interval are aligned that both are integer multiples of the step size.

Parameters

  interval | Interval
  stepSize | Step size

Returns
  Aligned interval

## ◆ autoScale()

void QwtLogScaleEngine::autoScale | ( | int | maxNumSteps,
|  | double & | x1,
|  | double & | x2,
|  | double & | stepSize
| ) |  | const

virtual

Align and divide an interval

Parameters

  maxNumSteps | Max. number of steps
  x1 | First limit of the interval (In/Out)
  x2 | Second limit of the interval (In/Out)
  stepSize | Step size (Out)

  QwtScaleEngine::setAttribute()

Implements QwtScaleEngine.

## ◆ buildMajorTicks()

QList< double > QwtLogScaleEngine::buildMajorTicks | ( | const QwtInterval & | interval,
|  | double | stepSize
| ) |  | const

protected

Calculate major ticks for an interval.

Parameters

  interval | Interval
  stepSize | Step size

Returns
  Calculated ticks

## ◆ buildMinorTicks()

void QwtLogScaleEngine::buildMinorTicks | ( | const QList< double > & | majorTicks,
|  | int | maxMinorSteps,
|  | double | stepSize,
|  | QList< double > & | minorTicks,
|  | QList< double > & | mediumTicks
| ) |  | const

protected

Calculate minor/medium ticks for major ticks.

Parameters

  majorTicks | Major ticks
  maxMinorSteps | Maximum number of minor steps
  stepSize | Step size
  minorTicks | Array to be filled with the calculated minor ticks
  mediumTicks | Array to be filled with the calculated medium ticks

## ◆ buildTicks()

void QwtLogScaleEngine::buildTicks | ( | const QwtInterval & | interval,
|  | double | stepSize,
|  | int | maxMinorSteps,
|  | QList< double > | ticks[QwtScaleDiv::NTickTypes]
| ) |  | const

protected

Calculate ticks for an interval.

Parameters

  interval | Interval
  maxMinorSteps | Maximum number of minor steps
  stepSize | Step size
  ticks | Arrays to be filled with the calculated ticks

See also
  buildMajorTicks(), buildMinorTicks

## ◆ divideScale()

QwtScaleDiv QwtLogScaleEngine::divideScale | ( | double | x1,
|  | double | x2,
|  | int | maxMajorSteps,
|  | int | maxMinorSteps,
|  | double | stepSize = `0.0`
| ) |  | const

virtual

Calculate a scale division for an interval.

Parameters

  x1 | First interval limit
  x2 | Second interval limit
  maxMajorSteps | Maximum for the number of major steps
  maxMinorSteps | Maximum number of minor steps
  stepSize | Step size. If stepSize == 0, the engine calculates one.

Returns
