Parameters:

  | parent | Parent widget

Definition at line 63 of file qwt_scale_widget.cpp.

QwtScaleWidget::QwtScaleWidget | ( | QwtScaleDraw::Alignment | align,
|  | QWidget * | parent = `NULL` |
| ) |  |  | `[explicit]`

Constructor.

Parameters:

  | align | Alignment.

## Member Function Documentation

void QwtScaleWidget::scaleDivChanged | ( |  | ) | `[signal]`

Signal emitted, whenever the scale divison changes.

Referenced by setScaleDiv().

void QwtScaleWidget::setTitle | ( | const QwtText & | title | ) |

Give title new text contents.

Parameters:

  | title | New title

See also:
  QwtScaleWidget::title

Warning:
  The title flags are interpreted in direction of the label, AlignTop, AlignBottom can't be set as the title will always be aligned to the scale.

void QwtScaleWidget::setBorderDist | ( | int | dist1,
|  | int | dist2 |
| ) |  |  |

Specify distances of the scale's endpoints from the widget's borders. The actual borders will never be less than minimum border distance.

void QwtScaleWidget::getBorderDistHint | ( | int & | start,
|  | int & | end |
| ) |  |  | const

Calculate a hint for the border distances.

This member function calculates the distance of the scale's endpoints from the widget borders which is required for the mark labels to fit into the widget. The maximum of this distance an the minimum border distance is returned.

Warning:
  - The minimum border distance depends on the font.

void QwtScaleWidget::getMinBorderDist | ( | int & | start,
|  | int & | end |
| ) |  |  | const

Get the minimum value for the distances of the scale's endpoints from the widget borders.

  setMinBorderDist(), getBorderDistHint()

Definition at line 805 of file qwt_scale_widget.cpp.

void QwtScaleWidget::setMinBorderDist | ( | int | start,
|  | int | end |
| ) |  |  |

Set a minimum value for the distances of the scale's endpoints from the widget borders. This is useful to avoid that the scales are "jumping", when the tick labels or their positions change often.
