## 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. ( f.e 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 Typedef Documentation

## PaintAttributes

typedef QFlags<PaintAttribute > QwtPlotRasterItem::PaintAttributes

An ORed combination of PaintAttribute values.

Definition at line 83 of file qwt_plot_rasteritem.h.

## Member Enumeration Documentation

## CachePolicy

enum QwtPlotRasterItem::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.

Definition at line 44 of file qwt_plot_rasteritem.h.

## PaintAttribute

enum QwtPlotRasterItem::PaintAttribute

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.

Returns
  Cache policy

## draw()

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

override virtual

Draw the raster data.

Parameters

  painter | Painter
  xMap | X-Scale Map
  yMap | Y-Scale Map
  canvasRect | Contents rectangle of the plot canvas

Implements QwtPlotItem.

Reimplemented in QwtPlotSpectrogram.

Definition at line 614 of file qwt_plot_rasteritem.cpp.

## imageMap()

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

protected virtual

Calculate a scale map for painting to an image.

Parameters

  orientation | Orientation, Qt::Horizontal means a X axis
  map | Scale map for rendering the plot item
  area | Area to be painted on the image
  imageSize | Image size
  pixelSize | Width/Height of a data pixel

Returns
  Calculated scale map

Definition at line 939 of file qwt_plot_rasteritem.cpp.

## interval()

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

virtual

Returns
  Bounding interval for an axis

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

Parameters

  axis | X, Y, or Z axis

Reimplemented in QwtPlotSpectrogram.

Definition at line 790 of file qwt_plot_rasteritem.cpp.

## invalidateCache()

void QwtPlotRasterItem::invalidateCache | ( |  | ) |

Invalidate the paint cache

See also
  setCachePolicy()

Definition at line 568 of file qwt_plot_rasteritem.cpp.

## pixelHint()

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

virtual

Pixel hint.

The geometry of a pixel is used to calculated the resolution and alignment of the rendered image.

Width and height of the hint need to be the horizontal and vertical distances between 2 neighbored 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 ( f.e screen ) resolution.

Parameters

  area | In most implementations the resolution of the data doesn't depend on the requested area.

Returns
  Bounding rectangle of a pixel

See also
  render(), renderImage()

Reimplemented in QwtPlotSpectrogram.

Definition at line 601 of file qwt_plot_rasteritem.cpp.

## renderImage()

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

protected pure virtual

Render an image.

An implementation of render() might iterate over all pixels of imageRect. Each pixel has to be translated into the corresponding position in scale coordinates using the maps. This position can be used to look up a value in a implementation specific way and to map it into a color.

Parameters

  xMap | X-Scale Map
  yMap | Y-Scale Map
  area | Requested area for the image in scale coordinates
  imageSize | Requested size of the image

Returns
  Rendered image

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. ( f.e 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.

Parameters

  alpha | Alpha value

- 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.

Definition at line 510 of file qwt_plot_rasteritem.cpp.

## setCachePolicy()

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

Change the cache policy

The default policy is NoCache

Parameters

  policy | Cache policy
