class QwtDialScaleDraw

Additional Inherited Members

QwtDial class provides a rounded range control.

QwtDial is intended as base class for dial widgets like speedometers, compass widgets, clocks ...

A dial contains a scale and a needle indicating the current value of the dial. Depending on Mode one of them is fixed and the other is rotating. If not isReadOnly() the dial can be rotated by dragging the mouse or using keyboard inputs (see keyPressEvent()). A dial might be wrapping, what means a rotation below/above one limit continues on the other limit (f.e compass). The scale might cover any arc of the dial, its values are related to the origin() of the dial.

Qwt is missing a set of good looking needles (QwtDialNeedle). Contributions are very welcome.

QwtCompass, QwtAnalogClock, QwtDialNeedle

Note:

The examples/dials example shows different types of dials.

enum \fBQwtDial::Direction\fP

Direction of the dial

enum \fBQwtDial::Mode\fP

In case of RotateNeedle the needle is rotating, in case of RotateScale, the needle points to origin() and the scale is rotating.

enum \fBQwtDial::Shadow\fP

Frame shadow. Unfortunately it is not possible to use QFrame::Shadow as a property of a widget that is not derived from QFrame. The following enum is made for the designer only. It is safe to use QFrame::Shadow instead.

QwtDial::QwtDial (QWidget *parent = \fCNULL\fP)\fC [explicit]\fP
