Detailed Description

A transformation between coordinate systems. QwtTransform manipulates values, when being mapped between the scale and the paint device coordinate system.

A transformation consists of 2 methods:

•   transform

•   invTransform

where one is is the inverse function of the other.

When p1, p2 are the boundaries of the paint device coordinates and s1, s2 the boundaries of the scale, QwtScaleMap uses the following calculations:

•   p = p1 + ( p2 - p1 ) * ( T( s ) - T( s1 ) / ( T( s2 ) - T( s1 ) );

•   s = invT ( T( s1 ) + ( T( s2 ) - T( s1 ) ) * ( p - p1 ) / ( p2 - p1 ) );

Member Function Documentation

  double QwtTransform::bounded (double value) const [virtual]
Modify value to be a valid value for the transformation. The default implementation does nothing.

Parameters
    value Value to be bounded

Returns
    value unmodified

Reimplemented in QwtLogTransform.

  virtual double QwtTransform::invTransform (double value) const [pure virtual]
Inverse transformation function

Parameters
    value Value

Returns
    Modified value

See also
    transform()

Implemented in QwtPowerTransform, QwtLogTransform, and QwtNullTransform.

  virtual double QwtTransform::transform (double value) const [pure virtual]
Transformation function

Parameters
    value Value

Returns
    Modified value

See also
    invTransform()

Implemented in QwtPowerTransform, QwtLogTransform, and QwtNullTransform.
