Detailed Description

QwtLinearColorMap builds a color map from color stops.

A color stop is a color at a specific position. The valid range for the positions is [0.0, 1.0]. When mapping a value into a color it is translated into this interval according to mode().


Member Enumeration Documentation

Mode of color map

See also:
setMode(), mode()
Enumerator:
FixedColors 

Return the color from the next lower color stop.

ScaledColors 

Interpolating the colors of the adjacent stops.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Build a color map with two stops at 0.0 and 1.0. The color at 0.0 is Qt::blue, at 1.0 it is Qt::yellow.

Parameters:
formatPreferred format of the color map
QwtLinearColorMap::QwtLinearColorMap ( const QColor &  color1,
const QColor &  color2,
QwtColorMap::Format  format = QwtColorMap::RGB 
)

Build a color map with two stops at 0.0 and 1.0.

Parameters:
color1Color used for the minimum value of the value interval
color2Color used for the maximum value of the value interval
formatPreferred format for the color map

Member Function Documentation

void QwtLinearColorMap::addColorStop ( double  value,
const QColor &  color 
)

Add a color stop

The value has to be in the range [0.0, 1.0]. F.e. a stop at position 17.0 for a range [10.0,20.0] must be passed as: (17.0 - 10.0) / (20.0 - 10.0)

Parameters:
valueValue between [0.0, 1.0]
colorColor stop
QColor QwtLinearColorMap::color1 ( ) const
Returns:
the first color of the color range
See also:
setColorInterval()
QColor QwtLinearColorMap::color2 ( ) const
Returns:
the second color of the color range
See also:
setColorInterval()
unsigned char QwtLinearColorMap::colorIndex ( const QwtInterval interval,
double  value 
) const [virtual]

Map a value of a given interval into a color index.

Parameters:
intervalRange for all values
valueValue to map into a color index
Returns:
Index, between 0 and 255

Implements QwtColorMap.

QVector< double > QwtLinearColorMap::colorStops ( ) const
Returns:
Positions of color stops in increasing order
Returns:
Mode of the color map
See also:
setMode()
QRgb QwtLinearColorMap::rgb ( const QwtInterval interval,
double  value 
) const [virtual]

Map a value of a given interval into a RGB value

Parameters:
intervalRange for all values
valueValue to map into a RGB value
Returns:
RGB value for value

Implements QwtColorMap.

void QwtLinearColorMap::setColorInterval ( const QColor &  color1,
const QColor &  color2 
)

Set the color range

Add stops at 0.0 and 1.0.

Parameters:
color1Color used for the minimum value of the value interval
color2Color used for the maximum value of the value interval
See also:
color1(), color2()

Set the mode of the color map.

FixedColors means the color is calculated from the next lower color stop. ScaledColors means the color is calculated by interpolating the colors of the adjacent stops.
