## Detailed Description

QwtPlotIntervalCurve represents a series of samples, where each value is associated with an interval ( ).

The representation depends on the style() and an optional symbol() that is displayed for each interval. QwtPlotIntervalCurve might be used to disply error bars or the area between 2 curves.

## Member Typedef Documentation

typedef QFlags<ItemAttribute> QwtPlotItem::ItemAttributes `[inherited]`

Plot Item Attributes.

typedef QFlags<PaintAttribute> QwtPlotIntervalCurve::PaintAttributes

Paint attributes.

typedef QFlags<RenderHint> QwtPlotItem::RenderHints `[inherited]`

## Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QwtPlotIntervalCurve::CurveStyle

Curve styles. The default setting is QwtPlotIntervalCurve::Tube.

See also:
  setStyle(), style()

Enumerator:

  NoCurve | Don't draw a curve. Note: This doesn't affect the symbols.
  Tube | Build 2 curves from the upper and lower limits of the intervals and draw them with the pen(). The area between the curves is filled with the brush().
  UserCurve | Styles >= QwtPlotIntervalCurve::UserCurve are reserved for derived classes that overload drawSeries() 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 QwtPlotIntervalCurve::PaintAttribute

Attributes to modify the drawing algorithm.

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.
  ClipSymbol | Check if a symbol is on the plot canvas before painting it.

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.
