Detailed Description

The Thermometer Widget.

QwtThermo is a widget which displays a value in an interval. It supports:

•   a horizontal or vertical layout;

•   a range;

•   a scale;

•   an alarm level.

By default, the scale and range run over the same interval of values. QwtAbstractScale::setScale() changes the interval of the scale and allows easy conversion between physical units.

The example shows how to make the scale indicate in degrees Fahrenheit and to set the value in degrees Kelvin:

#include <qapplication.h>
#include <qwt_thermo.h>

double Kelvin2Fahrenheit(double kelvin)
{
    // see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin
    return 1.8*kelvin - 459.67;
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    const double minKelvin = 0.0;
    const double maxKelvin = 500.0;

    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    QwtThermo t;
    t.setRange(minKelvin, maxKelvin);
    t.setScale(Kelvin2Fahrenheit(minKelvin), Kelvin2Fahrenheit(maxKelvin));
    // set the value in Kelvin but the scale displays in Fahrenheit
    // 273.15 Kelvin = 0 Celsius = 32 Fahrenheit
    t.setValue(273.15);
    a.setMainWidget(&t);
    t.show();
    return a.exec();
}

    The return value depends on the font and the scale.

See also:
    sizeHint()

Qt resize event handler.

  void QwtThermo::scaleChange () [protected, virtual]

Notify a scale change.

Reimplemented from QwtAbstractScale.

  QwtScaleDraw * QwtThermo::scaleDraw () [protected] Returns:
    the scale draw of the thermo

See also:
    setScaleDraw()

  const QwtScaleDraw * QwtThermo::scaleDraw () const Returns:
    the scale draw of the thermo

See also:
    setScaleDraw()

  QwtThermo::ScalePos QwtThermo::scalePosition () const Return the scale position.

See also:
    setScalePosition()

  void QwtThermo::setAlarmBrush (const QBrush & brush)

Specify the liquid brush above the alarm threshold. Parameters:
    brush New brush. The default is solid white.

See also:
    alarmBrush()

  void QwtThermo::setAlarmColor (const QColor & c)

Specify the liquid color above the alarm threshold. Parameters:
    c New color. The default is white.

  void QwtThermo::setAlarmEnabled (bool tf)

Enable or disable the alarm threshold. Parameters:
    tf true (disabled) or false (enabled)

  void QwtThermo::setAlarmLevel (double level) Specify the alarm threshold.

Parameters:
    level Alarm threshold

See also:
    alarmLevel()

  void QwtThermo::setBorderWidth (int width) Set the border width of the pipe.

Parameters:
    width Border width

See also:
    borderWidth()

  void QwtThermo::setFillBrush (const QBrush & brush)

    brush New brush. The default brush is solid black.

See also:
    fillBrush()

  void QwtThermo::setFillColor (const QColor & c)

    c New color. The default color is black.

See also:
    fillColor()

  void QwtThermo::setMargin (int m)

Specify the distance between the pipe's endpoints and the widget's border. The margin is used to leave some space for the scale labels. If a large font is used, it is advisable to adjust the margins.

Parameters:
    m New Margin. The default values are 10 for horizontal orientation and 20 for vertical orientation.

Warning:
    The margin has no effect if the scale is disabled.

    This function is a NOOP because margins are determined automatically.

    min Minimum value

    minValue(), setMaxValue()

  void QwtThermo::setOrientation (Qt::Orientation o, ScalePos s)

Set the thermometer orientation and the scale position. The scale position NoScale disables the scale.

Parameters:
    o orientation. Possible values are Qt::Horizontal and Qt::Vertical. The default value is Qt::Vertical.
    s Position of the scale. The default value is NoScale.

A valid combination of scale position and orientation is enforced:

•   a horizontal thermometer can have the scale positions TopScale, BottomScale or NoScale;

•   a vertical thermometer can have the scale positions LeftScale, RightScale or NoScale;

•   an invalid scale position will default to NoScale.

See also:
    setScalePosition()

  void QwtThermo::setPipeWidth (int width) Change the width of the pipe.

    logarithmic logarithmic mapping, true or false

  void QwtThermo::setScaleDraw (QwtScaleDraw * scaleDraw)

Set a scale draw. For changing the labels of the scales, it is necessary to derive from QwtScaleDraw and overload QwtScaleDraw::label().

Parameters:
    scaleDraw ScaleDraw object, that has to be created with new and will be deleted in ~QwtThermo or the next call of setScaleDraw().

  void QwtThermo::setScalePosition (ScalePos scalePos)

Change the scale position (and thermometer orientation). Parameters:
    scalePos Position of the scale.

A valid combination of scale position and orientation is enforced:
