## Detailed Description

QwtPlotZoomer provides stacked zooming for a plot widget.

QwtPlotZoomer selects rectangles from user inputs ( mouse or keyboard ) translates them into plot coordinates and adjusts the axes to them. The selection is supported by a rubber band and optionally by displaying the coordinates of the current mouse position.

Zooming can be repeated as often as possible, limited only by maxStackDepth() or minZoomSize(). Each rectangle is pushed on a stack.

The default setting how to select rectangles is a QwtPickerDragRectMachine with the following bindings:

- QwtEventPattern::MouseSelect1
  The first point of the zoom rectangle is selected by a mouse press, the second point from the position, where the mouse is released.
- QwtEventPattern::KeySelect1
  The first key press selects the first, the second key press selects the second point.
- QwtEventPattern::KeyAbort
  Discard the selection in the state, where the first point is selected.

To traverse the zoom stack the following bindings are used:

- QwtEventPattern::MouseSelect3, QwtEventPattern::KeyUndo
  Zoom out one position on the zoom stack
- QwtEventPattern::MouseSelect6, QwtEventPattern::KeyRedo
  Zoom in one position on the zoom stack
- QwtEventPattern::MouseSelect2, QwtEventPattern::KeyHome
  Zoom to the zoom base

The setKeyPattern() and setMousePattern() functions can be used to configure the zoomer actions. The following example shows, how to configure the 'I' and 'O' keys for zooming in and out one position on the zoom stack. The "Home" key is used to "unzoom" the plot.

zoomer = new QwtPlotZoomer( plot );
zoomer->setKeyPattern( QwtEventPattern::KeyRedo, Qt::Key_I, Qt::ShiftModifier );
zoomer->setKeyPattern( QwtEventPattern::KeyUndo, Qt::Key_O, Qt::ShiftModifier );
zoomer->setKeyPattern( QwtEventPattern::KeyHome, Qt::Key_Home );

QwtPlotZoomer is tailored for plots with one x and y axis, but it is allowed to attach a second QwtPlotZoomer ( without rubber band and tracker ) for the other axes.

Note
  The realtime example includes an derived zoomer class that adds scrollbars to the plot canvas.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QwtPlotZoomer::QwtPlotZoomer | ( | QWidget * | canvas,
|  | bool | doReplot = `true`
| ) |  |
| explicit

Create a zoomer for a plot canvas.

The zoomer is set to those x- and y-axis of the parent plot of the canvas that are enabled. If both or no x-axis are enabled, the picker is set to QwtPlot::xBottom. If both or no y-axis are enabled, it is set to QwtPlot::yLeft.

The zoomer is initialized with a QwtPickerDragRectMachine, the tracker mode is set to QwtPicker::ActiveOnly and the rubber band is set to QwtPicker::RectRubberBand

Parameters

  canvas | Plot canvas to observe, also the parent object
  doReplot | Call QwtPlot::replot() for the attached plot before initializing the zoomer with its scales. This might be necessary, when the plot is in a state with pending scale changes.

  QwtPlot::autoReplot(), QwtPlot::replot(), setZoomBase()

QwtPlotZoomer::QwtPlotZoomer | ( | int | xAxis,
|  | int | yAxis,
|  | QWidget * | canvas,
|  | bool | doReplot = `true`
| ) |  |
| explicit

Create a zoomer for a plot canvas.

The zoomer is initialized with a QwtPickerDragRectMachine, the tracker mode is set to QwtPicker::ActiveOnly and the rubber band is set to QwtPicker;;RectRubberBand

Parameters

  xAxis | X axis of the zoomer
  yAxis | Y axis of the zoomer
  canvas | Plot canvas to observe, also the parent object
  doReplot | Call QwtPlot::replot() for the attached plot before initializing the zoomer with its scales. This might be necessary, when the plot is in a state with pending scale changes.

## Member Function Documentation

bool QwtPlotZoomer::accept | ( | QPolygon & | pa | ) | const
| protectedvirtual

Check and correct a selected rectangle.

Reject rectangles with a height or width < 2, otherwise expand the selected rectangle to a minimum size of 11x11 and accept it.

Returns
  true If the rectangle is accepted, or has been changed to an accepted one.

Reimplemented from QwtPicker.

void QwtPlotZoomer::begin | ( |  | ) |
| protectedvirtual

Rejects selections, when the stack depth is too deep, or the zoomed rectangle is minZoomSize().

See also
  minZoomSize(), maxStackDepth()

Reimplemented from QwtPicker.

bool QwtPlotZoomer::end | ( | bool | ok = `true` | ) |
| protectedvirtual

Expand the selected rectangle to minZoomSize() and zoom in if accepted.

Parameters

  ok | If true, complete the selection and emit selected signals otherwise discard the selection.

See also
  accept(), minZoomSize()

Returns
  True if the selection has been accepted, false otherwise

Reimplemented from QwtPlotPicker.

int QwtPlotZoomer::maxStackDepth | ( |  | ) | const

Returns
  Maximal depth of the zoom stack.

See also
  setMaxStackDepth()

QSizeF QwtPlotZoomer::minZoomSize | ( |  | ) | const
| protectedvirtual

Limit zooming by a minimum rectangle.

Returns
  zoomBase().width() / 10e4, zoomBase().height() / 10e4

void QwtPlotZoomer::moveBy | ( | double | dx,
|  | double | dy
| ) |  |
| slot

Move the current zoom rectangle.

Parameters

  dx | X offset
  dy | Y offset

Note
  The changed rectangle is limited by the zoom base

void QwtPlotZoomer::moveTo | ( | const QPointF & | pos | ) |
| virtualslot

Move the the current zoom rectangle.

Parameters

  pos | New position

See also
  QRectF::moveTo()

Note
  The changed rectangle is limited by the zoom base

void QwtPlotZoomer::rescale | ( |  | ) |
| protectedvirtual

Adjust the observed plot to zoomRect()

Note
  Initiates QwtPlot::replot()

void QwtPlotZoomer::setAxis | ( | int | xAxis,
|  | int | yAxis
| ) |  |
| virtual

Reinitialize the axes, and set the zoom base to their scales.

Parameters

  xAxis | X axis
  yAxis | Y axis

Reimplemented from QwtPlotPicker.

void QwtPlotZoomer::setMaxStackDepth | ( | int | depth | ) |

Limit the number of recursive zoom operations to depth.

A value of -1 set the depth to unlimited, 0 disables zooming. If the current zoom rectangle is below depth, the plot is unzoomed.

Parameters

  depth | Maximum for the stack depth

See also
  maxStackDepth()

Note
  depth doesn't include the zoom base, so zoomStack().count() might be maxStackDepth() + 1.

void QwtPlotZoomer::setZoomBase | ( | bool | doReplot = `true` | ) |
| virtual

Reinitialized the zoom stack with scaleRect() as base.

Parameters

  doReplot | Call QwtPlot::replot() for the attached plot before initializing the zoomer with its scales. This might be necessary, when the plot is in a state with pending scale changes.

See also
  zoomBase(), scaleRect() QwtPlot::autoReplot(), QwtPlot::replot().

void QwtPlotZoomer::setZoomBase | ( | const QRectF & | base | ) |
| virtual

Set the initial size of the zoomer.

base is united with the current scaleRect() and the zoom stack is reinitialized with it as zoom base. plot is zoomed to scaleRect().

Parameters

  base | Zoom base

See also
  zoomBase(), scaleRect()

void QwtPlotZoomer::setZoomStack | ( | const QStack< QRectF > & | zoomStack,
