QwtPlot sample to pixel association

[catto]

Hi,

I'd appreciate some help with the following. If you set some raw data on a QwtPlotCurve, how can you make the plot draw consecutive samples in consecutive pixels?

For example, in a QwtPlot subclass constructor:

QwtPlotCurve *curve = new QwtPlotCurve("curve");
curve->setPen(QPen(Qt::green, 1));
curve->attach(this);
setCanvasBackground( QColor(Qt::black) );
curve->setData(qwtData);
enableAxis(QwtPlot::xBottom, false);
enableAxis(QwtPlot::yLeft, false);
setMargin(0);
setFixedSize(800, 600);

QwtPlotCurve *curve = new QwtPlotCurve("curve");
curve->setPen(QPen(Qt::green, 1));
curve->attach(this);
setCanvasBackground( QColor(Qt::black) );
curve->setData(qwtData);
enableAxis(QwtPlot::xBottom, false);
enableAxis(QwtPlot::yLeft, false);
setMargin(0);
setFixedSize(800, 600);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

If qwtData has 400 values, they don't occupy half of the plot, instead they are stretched to fit the whole 800 pixels.

I'd be very thankful for any clues.

The points are mapped according to the scales. When 400.0 on your x-axis is mapped to pixel position 800, then your point will be painted there.

Guess you want to have a look at QwtPlotRescaler - in SVN trunk you find the navigation example, that demonstrates how to use it.

Hello Uwe,

Thanks for your quick reply. We are studying the example you mentioned.

Hello Uwe,

Regarding my first post, if the plot size is fixed (800x600) would it be enough to add

setAxisScale(QwtPlot::xBottom, 1, 800, 1); // 800 ticks wide
setAxisScale(QwtPlot::yLeft, -299, 300, 1); // 600 ticks height
setCanvasLineWidth(0);

setAxisScale(QwtPlot::xBottom, 1, 800, 1); // 800 ticks wide
setAxisScale(QwtPlot::yLeft, -299, 300, 1); // 600 ticks height
setCanvasLineWidth(0);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

in order for every sample of data to be drawn in separate consecutive pixels?

Besides the QwtPlotCurve pen width and the canvas line width, are there any other parameters that would need to be adjusted in order to get the desired behavior?


Thanks for your help

When your plot consists of nothing beside the canvas ( no axes, title, legend ) and you additionally set all margins to 0.
