## Detailed Description

Operations for linear or logarithmic (base 10) transformations.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QwtScaleTransformation::QwtScaleTransformation | ( | Type | type | ) |

Constructor for a linear transformation.

QwtScaleTransformation::~QwtScaleTransformation | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

QwtScaleTransformation * QwtScaleTransformation::copy | ( |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

Create a clone of the transformation.

double QwtScaleTransformation::invXForm | ( | double | p,
|  | double | p1,
|  | double | p2,
|  | double | s1,
|  | double | s2
| ) |  | const`[virtual]`

Transform a value from the coordinate system of the paint device into the coordinate system of a scale.

Parameters:

  p | Value related to the coordinate system of the paint device
  p1 | First border of the coordinate system of the paint device
  p2 | Second border of the coordinate system of the paint device
  s1 | First border of the coordinate system of the scale
  s2 | Second border of the coordinate system of the scale

Returns:
  linear mapping:
    s1 + ( s2 - s1 ) / ( p2 - p1 ) * ( p - p1 );
  log10 mapping:
    exp((p - p1) / (p2 - p1) * log(s2 / s1)) * s1;

QwtScaleTransformation::Type QwtScaleTransformation::type | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Returns:
  Transformation type

double QwtScaleTransformation::xForm | ( | double | s,
|  | double | s1,
|  | double | s2,
|  | double | p1,
|  | double | p2
| ) |  | const`[virtual]`

Transform a value from the coordinate system of a scale into the coordinate system of the paint device.

Parameters:

  s | Value related to the coordinate system of the scale
  s1 | First border of the coordinate system of the scale
  s2 | Second border of the coordinate system of the scale
  p1 | First border of the coordinate system of the paint device
  p2 | Second border of the coordinate system of the paint device

Returns:
  linear mapping:
    p1 + (p2 - p1) / (s2 - s1) * (s - s1);
  log10 mapping:
    p1 + (p2 - p1) / log(s2 / s1) * log(s / s1);
