Detailed Description
QwtPlotHistogram represents a series of samples, where an interval is associated with a value ( $y =
f([x1,x2])$ ).
The representation depends on the style() and an optional symbol() that is displayed for each interval.
Note:
The term 'histogram' is used in a different way in the areas of digital image processing and
statistics. Wikipedia introduces the terms 'image histogram' and 'color histogram' to avoid
confusions. While 'image histograms' can be displayed by a QwtPlotCurve there is no applicable plot
item for a 'color histogram' yet.

Member Enumeration Documentation
enum QwtPlotHistogram::HistogramStyle
Histogram styles. The default style is QwtPlotHistogram::Columns.
See also:
setStyle(), style(), setSymbol(), symbol(), setBaseline()
Enumerator
Outline
Draw an outline around the area, that is build by all intervals using the pen() and fill it with
the brush(). The outline style requires, that the intervals are in increasing order and not
overlapping.
Columns
Draw a column for each interval. When a symbol() has been set the symbol is used otherwise the
column is displayed as plain rectangle using pen() and brush().
Lines Draw a simple line using the pen() for each interval.
UserStyle
Styles >= UserStyle are reserved for derived classes that overload drawSeries() with additional
application specific ways to display a histogram.
Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Parameters:
sample Sample
xMap Maps x-values into pixel coordinates.
yMap Maps y-values into pixel coordinates.
Returns:
Rectangle, that is covered by a sample
void QwtPlotHistogram::drawColumn (QPainter * painter, const QwtColumnRect & rect, const QwtIntervalSample &
sample) const [protected], [virtual]
Draw a column for a sample in Columns style().
When a symbol() has been set the symbol is used otherwise the column is displayed as plain rectangle
using pen() and brush().
Parameters:
painter Painter
rect Rectangle where to paint the column in paint device coordinates
sample Sample to be displayed
Note:
In applications, where different intervals need to be displayed in a different way ( f.e different
colors or even using different symbols) it is recommended to overload drawColumn().
void QwtPlotHistogram::drawColumns (QPainter * painter, const QwtScaleMap & xMap, const QwtScaleMap & yMap,
int from, int to) const [protected]
Draw a histogram in Columns style()
Parameters:
painter Painter
xMap Maps x-values into pixel coordinates.
yMap Maps y-values into pixel coordinates.
from Index of the first sample to be painted
to Index of the last sample to be painted. If to < 0 the histogram will be painted to its last point.

setStyle(), style(), setSymbol(), drawColumn()
void QwtPlotHistogram::drawLines (QPainter * painter, const QwtScaleMap & xMap, const QwtScaleMap & yMap, int
from, int to) const [protected]
Draw a histogram in Lines style()
Parameters:
painter Painter
xMap Maps x-values into pixel coordinates.
yMap Maps y-values into pixel coordinates.
from Index of the first sample to be painted
to Index of the last sample to be painted. If to < 0 the histogram will be painted to its last point.

setStyle(), style(), setPen()
void QwtPlotHistogram::drawOutline (QPainter * painter, const QwtScaleMap & xMap, const QwtScaleMap & yMap,
int from, int to) const [protected]
Draw a histogram in Outline style()
Parameters:
painter Painter
xMap Maps x-values into pixel coordinates.
yMap Maps y-values into pixel coordinates.
from Index of the first sample to be painted
to Index of the last sample to be painted. If to < 0 the histogram will be painted to its last point.
See also:
setStyle(), style()
Warning:
The outline style requires, that the intervals are in increasing order and not overlapping.
void QwtPlotHistogram::drawSeries (QPainter * painter, const QwtScaleMap & xMap, const QwtScaleMap & yMap,
const QRectF & canvasRect, int from, int to) const [virtual]
Draw a subset of the histogram samples
Parameters:
painter Painter
xMap Maps x-values into pixel coordinates.
yMap Maps y-values into pixel coordinates.
canvasRect Contents rectangle of the canvas
from Index of the first sample to be painted
to Index of the last sample to be painted. If to < 0 the series will be painted to its last sample.

drawOutline(), drawLines(), drawColumns
Implements QwtPlotSeriesItem.
QwtGraphic QwtPlotHistogram::legendIcon (int index, const QSizeF & size) const [virtual]
A plain rectangle without pen using the brush()
Parameters:
index Index of the legend entry ( ignored as there is only one )
size Icon size
Returns:
A graphic displaying the icon
See also:
QwtPlotItem::setLegendIconSize(), QwtPlotItem::legendData()
Reimplemented from QwtPlotItem.
const QPen & QwtPlotHistogram::pen () const
Returns:
Pen used in a style() depending way.
See also:
setPen(), brush()
int QwtPlotHistogram::rtti () const [virtual]
Returns:
QwtPlotItem::Rtti_PlotHistogram
Reimplemented from QwtPlotItem.
void QwtPlotHistogram::setBaseline (double value)
Set the value of the baseline. Each column representing an QwtIntervalSample is defined by its interval
and the interval between baseline and the value of the sample.
The default value of the baseline is 0.0.
Parameters:
value Value of the baseline
See also:
baseline()
void QwtPlotHistogram::setBrush (const QBrush & brush)
Assign a brush, that is used in a style() depending way.
Parameters:
brush New brush
See also:
pen(), brush()
void QwtPlotHistogram::setPen (const QColor & color, qreal width = 0.0, Qt::PenStyle style = Qt::SolidLine)
Build and assign a pen
In Qt5 the default pen width is 1.0 ( 0.0 in Qt4 ) what makes it non cosmetic ( see QPen::isCosmetic() ).
This method has been introduced to hide this incompatibility.
Parameters:
color Pen color
width Pen width
style Pen style
See also:
pen(), brush()
void QwtPlotHistogram::setPen (const QPen & pen)
Assign a pen, that is used in a style() depending way.
Parameters:
pen New pen
See also:
pen(), brush()
void QwtPlotHistogram::setSamples (const QVector< QwtIntervalSample > & samples)
Initialize data with an array of samples.
Parameters:
samples Vector of points
void QwtPlotHistogram::setSamples (QwtSeriesData< QwtIntervalSample > * data)
Assign a series of samples
setSamples() is just a wrapper for setData() without any additional value - beside that it is easier to
find for the developer.
Parameters:
data Data
Warning:
The item takes ownership of the data object, deleting it when its not used anymore.
void QwtPlotHistogram::setStyle (HistogramStyle style)
Set the histogram's drawing style
Parameters:
style Histogram style
See also:
HistogramStyle, style()
void QwtPlotHistogram::setSymbol (const QwtColumnSymbol * symbol)
Assign a symbol. In Column style an optional symbol can be assigned, that is responsible for displaying
the rectangle that is defined by the interval and the distance between baseline() and value. When no
symbol has been defined the area is displayed as plain rectangle using pen() and brush().
See also:
style(), symbol(), drawColumn(), pen(), brush()
Note:
In applications, where different intervals need to be displayed in a different way ( f.e different
colors or even using different symbols) it is recommended to overload drawColumn().
QwtPlotHistogram::HistogramStyle QwtPlotHistogram::style () const
Returns:
Style of the histogram
See also:
HistogramStyle, setStyle()
const QwtColumnSymbol * QwtPlotHistogram::symbol () const
Returns:
Current symbol or NULL, when no symbol has been assigned
See also:
setSymbol()
