## Detailed Description

A plot item, that represents a series of points.

A curve is the representation of a series of points in the x-y plane. It supports different display styles, interpolation ( f.e. spline ) and symbols.

Usage
  a) Assign curve properties
    When a curve is created, it is configured to draw black solid lines with in QwtPlotCurve::Lines style and no symbols. You can change this by calling setPen(), setStyle() and setSymbol().
  b) Connect/Assign data.
    QwtPlotCurve gets its points using a QwtSeriesData object offering a bridge to the real storage of the points ( like QAbstractItemModel ). There are several convenience classes derived from QwtSeriesData, that also store the points inside ( like QStandardItemModel ). QwtPlotCurve also offers a couple of variations of setSamples(), that build QwtSeriesData objects from arrays internally.
  c) Attach the curve to a plot
    See QwtPlotItem::attach()

Example:
  see examples/bode

  QwtPointSeriesData, QwtSymbol, QwtScaleMap

Plot Item Attributes.

typedef QFlags<LegendAttribute> QwtPlotCurve::LegendAttributes

## Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QwtPlotCurve::CurveAttribute

Attribute for drawing the curve

See also:
  setCurveAttribute(), testCurveAttribute(), curveFitter()

Enumerator:

  Inverted | For QwtPlotCurve::Steps only. Draws a step function from the right to the left.

  Fitted

  Only in combination with QwtPlotCurve::Lines A QwtCurveFitter tries to interpolate/smooth the curve, before it is painted.
  Note:
    Curve fitting requires temorary memory for calculating coefficients and additional points. If painting in QwtPlotCurve::Fitted mode is slow it might be better to fit the points, before they are passed to QwtPlotCurve.

enum QwtPlotCurve::CurveStyle

Curve styles.

See also:
  setStyle(), style()

Enumerator:

  NoCurve | Don't draw a curve. Note: This doesn't affect the symbols.
  Lines | Connect the points with straight lines. The lines might be interpolated depending on the 'Fitted' attribute. Curve fitting can be configured using setCurveFitter().
  Sticks | Draw vertical or horizontal sticks ( depending on the orientation() ) from a baseline which is defined by setBaseline().
  Steps | Connect the points with a step function. The step function is drawn from the left to the right or vice versa, depending on the QwtPlotCurve::Inverted attribute.
  Dots | Draw dots at the locations of the data points. Note: This is different from a dotted line (see setPen()), and faster as a curve in QwtPlotCurve::NoStyle style and a symbol painting a point.
  UserCurve | Styles >= QwtPlotCurve::UserCurve are reserved for derived classes of QwtPlotCurve that overload drawCurve() with additional application specific curve types.

enum QwtPlotItem::ItemAttribute `[inherited]`

Plot Item Attributes

See also:
  setItemAttribute(), testItemAttribute()

Enumerator:

  Legend | The item is represented on the legend.
  AutoScale | The boundingRect() of the item is included in the autoscaling calculation.

enum QwtPlotCurve::LegendAttribute

Attributes how to represent the curve on the legend

See also:
  setLegendAttribute(), testLegendAttribute(), drawLegendIdentifier()

Enumerator:

  LegendNoAttribute | QwtPlotCurve tries to find a color representing the curve and paints a rectangle with it.
  LegendShowLine | If the style() is not QwtPlotCurve::NoCurve a line is painted with the curve pen().
  LegendShowSymbol | If the curve has a valid symbol it is painted.
  LegendShowBrush | If the curve has a brush a rectangle filled with the curve brush() is painted.

enum QwtPlotCurve::PaintAttribute

Attributes to modify the drawing algorithm. The default setting enables ClipPolygons

See also:
  setPaintAttribute(), testPaintAttribute()

Enumerator:

  ClipPolygons | Clip polygons before painting them. In situations, where points are far outside the visible area (f.e when zooming deep) this might be a substantial improvement for the painting performance
  CacheSymbols | Paint the symbol to a QPixmap and paint the pixmap instead rendering the symbol for each point. The flag has no effect, when the curve is not painted to the canvas ( f.e when exporting the plot to a PDF document ).

enum QwtPlotItem::RenderHint `[inherited]`

Render hints.

Enumerator:

  RenderAntialiased | Enable antialiasing.

enum QwtPlotItem::RttiValues `[inherited]`

Runtime type information.

RttiValues is used to cast plot items, without having to enable runtime type information of the compiler.

void QwtPlotItem::setAxes | ( | int | xAxis,
|  | int | yAxis

Parameters:

  xAxis | X Axis
  yAxis | Y Axis

See also:
  setXAxis(), setYAxis(), xAxis(), yAxis()

void QwtPlotCurve::setBaseline | ( | double | value | ) |

Set the value of the baseline.

The baseline is needed for filling the curve with a brush or the Sticks drawing style. The interpretation of the baseline depends on the CurveType. With QwtPlotCurve::Yfx, the baseline is interpreted as a horizontal line at y = baseline(), with QwtPlotCurve::Yfy, it is interpreted as a vertical line at x = baseline().

The default value is 0.0.

Parameters:

  value | Value of the baseline

See also:
  baseline(), setBrush(), setStyle(), setStyle()

void QwtPlotCurve::setBrush | ( | const QBrush & | brush | ) |

Assign a brush.

In case of brush.style() != QBrush::NoBrush and style() != QwtPlotCurve::Sticks the area between the curve and the baseline will be filled.

In case !brush.color().isValid() the area will be filled by pen.color(). The fill algorithm simply connects the first and the last curve point to the baseline. So the curve data has to be sorted (ascending or descending).

Parameters:

  brush | New brush

See also:
  brush(), setBaseline(), baseline()

void QwtPlotCurve::setCurveAttribute | ( | CurveAttribute | attribute,
|  | bool | on = `true`
| ) |  |

Specify an attribute for drawing the curve

Parameters:

  attribute | Curve attribute
  on | On/Off

/sa testCurveAttribute(), setCurveFitter()

void QwtPlotCurve::setCurveFitter | ( | QwtCurveFitter * | curveFitter | ) |

Assign a curve fitter

The curve fitter "smooths" the curve points, when the Fitted CurveAttribute is set. setCurveFitter(NULL) also disables curve fitting.

The curve fitter operates on the translated points ( = widget coordinates) to be functional for logarithmic scales. Obviously this is less performant for fitting algorithms, that reduce the number of points.

For situations, where curve fitting is used to improve the performance of painting huge series of points it might be better to execute the fitter on the curve points once and to cache the result in the QwtSeriesData object.

Parameters:

  curveFitter() | Curve fitter

See also:
  Fitted

void QwtPlotItem::setItemAttribute | ( | ItemAttribute | attribute,
|  | bool | on = `true`
| ) |  | `[inherited]`

Toggle an item attribute

Parameters:

  attribute | Attribute type
  on | true/false

See also:
  testItemAttribute(), ItemAttribute

void QwtPlotCurve::setLegendAttribute | ( | LegendAttribute | attribute,
|  | bool | on = `true`
| ) |  |

Specify an attribute how to draw the legend identifier

Parameters:

  attribute | Attribute
  on | On/Off /sa testLegendAttribute()

void QwtPlotAbstractSeriesItem::setOrientation | ( | Qt::Orientation | orientation | ) | `[inherited]`

Set the orientation of the item.

The orientation() might be used in specific way by a plot item. F.e. a QwtPlotCurve uses it to identify how to display the curve int QwtPlotCurve::Steps or QwtPlotCurve::Sticks style.

See also:
  orientation()

void QwtPlotCurve::setPaintAttribute | ( | PaintAttribute | attribute,
|  | bool | on = `true`
| ) |  |

Specify an attribute how to draw the curve

Parameters:

  attribute | Paint attribute
  on | On/Off

void QwtPlotCurve::setRawSamples | ( | const double * | xData,
|  | const double * | yData,
|  | int | size
| ) |  |

setRawSamples is provided for efficiency. It is important to keep the pointers during the lifetime of the underlying QwtCPointerData class.

Parameters:

  xData | pointer to x data
  yData | pointer to y data
  size | size of x and y

See also:
  QwtCPointerData

void QwtPlotCurve::setSamples | ( | const double * | xData,
