Detailed Description

A class, which displays raster data.

Raster data is a grid of pixel values, that can be represented as a QImage. It is used for many types of information like spectrograms, cartograms, geographical maps ...

Often a plot has several types of raster data organized in layers. (e.g a geographical map, with weather statistics ). Using setAlpha() raster items can be stacked easily.

QwtPlotRasterItem is only implemented for images of the following formats: QImage::Format_Indexed8, QImage::Format_ARGB32.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ CachePolicy

Cache policy.

The default policy is NoCache

Enumerator
NoCache 

renderImage() is called each time the item has to be repainted

PaintCache 

renderImage() is called, whenever the image cache is not valid, or the scales, or the size of the canvas has changed.

This type of cache is useful for improving the performance of hide/show operations or manipulations of the alpha value. All other situations are handled by the canvas backing store.

◆ PaintAttribute

Paint attributes.

Attributes to modify the drawing algorithm.

See also
setPaintAttribute(), testPaintAttribute()
Enumerator
PaintInDeviceResolution 

When the image is rendered according to the data pixels ( QwtRasterData::pixelHint() ) it can be expanded to paint device resolution before it is passed to QPainter. The expansion algorithm rounds the pixel borders in the same way as the axis ticks, what is usually better than the scaling algorithm implemented in Qt. Disabling this flag might make sense, to reduce the size of a document/file. If this is possible for a document format depends on the implementation of the specific QPaintEngine.

◆ boundingRect()

QRectF QwtPlotRasterItem::boundingRect ( ) const
overridevirtual

QwtPlotRasterItem::interval()

Reimplemented from QwtPlotItem.

◆ cachePolicy()

QwtPlotRasterItem::CachePolicy QwtPlotRasterItem::cachePolicy ( ) const

Get the cache policy.

Returns
Cache policy

CachePolicy, setCachePolicy()

◆ draw()

void QwtPlotRasterItem::draw ( QPainter *  painter,
const QwtScaleMap xMap,
const QwtScaleMap yMap,
const QRectF &  canvasRect 
) const
overridevirtual

Draw the raster data.

Parameters
[in]painterPainter
[in]xMapX-Scale Map
[in]yMapY-Scale Map
[in]canvasRectContents rectangle of the plot canvas

Implements QwtPlotItem.

Reimplemented in QwtPlotSpectrogram.

◆ imageMap()

QwtScaleMap QwtPlotRasterItem::imageMap ( Qt::Orientation  orientation,
const QwtScaleMap map,
const QRectF &  area,
const QSize &  imageSize,
double  pixelSize 
) const
protectedvirtual

Get the image map.

Calculate a scale map for painting to an image.

Parameters
orientationOrientation, Qt::Horizontal means a X axis
mapScale map for rendering the plot item
areaArea to be painted on the image
imageSizeImage size
pixelSizeWidth/Height of a data pixel
Returns
Calculated scale map

◆ interval()

QwtInterval QwtPlotRasterItem::interval ( Qt::Axis  axis) const
virtual

Get the bounding interval for an axis.

This method is intended to be reimplemented by derived classes. The default implementation returns an invalid interval.

Parameters
[in]axisX, Y, or Z axis
Returns
Bounding interval for an axis

Reimplemented in QwtPlotSpectrogram.

◆ invalidateCache()

void QwtPlotRasterItem::invalidateCache ( )

Invalidate the paint cache.

See also
setCachePolicy()

◆ pixelHint()

QRectF QwtPlotRasterItem::pixelHint ( const QRectF &  area) const
virtual

Pixel hint.

The geometry of a pixel is used to calculate the resolution and alignment of the rendered image. Width and height of the hint need to be the horizontal and vertical distances between 2 neighboring points. The center of the hint has to be the position of any point (it doesn't matter which one). Limiting the resolution of the image might significantly improve the performance and heavily reduce the amount of memory when rendering a QImage from the raster data. The default implementation returns an empty rectangle (QRectF()), meaning that the image will be rendered in target device (e.g. screen) resolution.

Parameters
[in]areaIn most implementations the resolution of the data doesn't depend on the requested area
Returns
Bounding rectangle of a pixel

render(), renderImage()

Reimplemented in QwtPlotSpectrogram.

◆ renderImage()

virtual QImage QwtPlotRasterItem::renderImage ( const QwtScaleMap xMap,
const QwtScaleMap yMap,
const QRectF &  area,
const QSize &  imageSize 
) const
protectedpure virtual

Implemented in QwtPlotSpectrogram.

◆ setAlpha()

void QwtPlotRasterItem::setAlpha ( int  alpha)

Set an alpha value for the raster data.

Often a plot has several types of raster data organized in layers. (e.g. a geographical map, with weather statistics). Using setAlpha() raster items can be stacked easily. The alpha value is a value [0, 255] to control the transparency of the image. 0 represents a fully transparent color, while 255 represents a fully opaque color.

  • alpha >= 0: All alpha values of the pixels returned by renderImage() will be set to alpha, beside those with an alpha value of 0 (invalid pixels).
  • alpha < 0: The alpha values returned by renderImage() are not changed. The default alpha value is -1.
    Parameters
    [in]alphaAlpha value
    See also
    alpha()

◆ setCachePolicy()

void QwtPlotRasterItem::setCachePolicy ( QwtPlotRasterItem::CachePolicy  policy)

Change the cache policy.

The default policy is NoCache

Parameters
[in]policyCache policy
See also
CachePolicy, cachePolicy()

◆ setPaintAttribute()

void QwtPlotRasterItem::setPaintAttribute ( PaintAttribute  attribute,
bool  on = true 
)

Set a paint attribute.

Parameters
[in]attributePaint attribute
[in]onOn/Off

PaintAttribute, testPaintAttribute()

◆ testPaintAttribute()

bool QwtPlotRasterItem::testPaintAttribute ( PaintAttribute  attribute) const
