## Detailed Description

Synthetic point data.

QwtSyntheticPointData provides a fixed number of points for an interval. The points are calculated in equidistant steps in x-direction.

If the interval is invalid, the points are calculated for the "rectangle of interest", what normally is the displayed area on the plot canvas. In this mode you get different levels of detail, when zooming in/out.

Example

The following example shows how to implement a sinus curve.

#include <cmath>
#include <qwt_series_data.h>
#include <qwt_plot_curve.h>
#include <qwt_plot.h>
#include <qapplication.h>
class SinusData: public QwtSyntheticPointData
{
public:
SinusData():
QwtSyntheticPointData( 100 )
{
}
virtual double y( double x ) const
{
return qSin( x );
}
};
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
QApplication a( argc, argv );
QwtPlot plot;
plot.setAxisScale( QwtAxis::XBottom, 0.0, 10.0 );
plot.setAxisScale( QwtAxis::YLeft, -1.0, 1.0 );
QwtPlotCurve *curve = new QwtPlotCurve( "y = sin(x)" );
curve->setData( new SinusData() );
curve->attach( &plot );
plot.show();
return a.exec();
}

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ QwtSyntheticPointData()

QwtSyntheticPointData::QwtSyntheticPointData | ( | size_t | size,
|  | const QwtInterval & | interval = `QwtInterval()`
| ) |  |

Constructor

Parameters

  size | Number of points
  interval | Bounding interval for the points

See also
  setInterval(), setSize()

Definition at line 20 of file qwt_point_data.cpp.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ boundingRect()

QRectF QwtSyntheticPointData::boundingRect | ( |  | ) | const
| override virtual

Calculate the bounding rectangle.

This implementation iterates over all points, what could often be implemented much faster using the characteristics of the series. When there are many points it is recommended to overload and reimplement this method using the characteristics of the series ( if possible ).

Returns
  Bounding rectangle

Reimplemented from QwtPointSeriesData.

Definition at line 105 of file qwt_point_data.cpp.

## ◆ interval()

QwtInterval QwtSyntheticPointData::interval | ( |  | ) | const

Returns
  Bounding interval

See also
  setInterval(), size()

Definition at line 62 of file qwt_point_data.cpp.

## ◆ rectOfInterest()

QRectF QwtSyntheticPointData::rectOfInterest | ( |  | ) | const

Returns
  "rectangle of interest"

See also
  setRectOfInterest()

Definition at line 89 of file qwt_point_data.cpp.

## ◆ sample()

QPointF QwtSyntheticPointData::sample | ( | size_t | index | ) | const
| override virtual

Calculate the point from an index

Parameters

  index | Index

Returns
  QPointF(x(index), y(x(index)));

Warning
  For invalid indices ( index < 0 || index >= size() ) (0, 0) is returned.

Reimplemented from QwtArraySeriesData< QPointF >.

Definition at line 125 of file qwt_point_data.cpp.

## ◆ setInterval()

void QwtSyntheticPointData::setInterval | ( | const QwtInterval & | interval | ) |

Set the bounding interval

Parameters

  interval | Interval

See also
  interval(), setSize()

Definition at line 53 of file qwt_point_data.cpp.

## ◆ setRectOfInterest()

void QwtSyntheticPointData::setRectOfInterest | ( | const QRectF & | rect | ) |
| override virtual

Set a the "rectangle of interest"

QwtPlotSeriesItem defines the current area of the plot canvas as "rect of interest" ( QwtPlotSeriesItem::updateScaleDiv() ).

If interval().isValid() == false the x values are calculated in the interval rect.left() -> rect.right().

See also
  rectOfInterest()

Reimplemented from QwtSeriesData< QPointF >.

Definition at line 78 of file qwt_point_data.cpp.

## ◆ setSize()

void QwtSyntheticPointData::setSize | ( | size_t | size | ) |

Change the number of points

Parameters

  size | Number of points

See also
  size(), setInterval()

Definition at line 33 of file qwt_point_data.cpp.

## ◆ size()

size_t QwtSyntheticPointData::size | ( |  | ) | const
| override virtual

Returns
  Number of points

See also
  setSize(), interval()

Reimplemented from QwtArraySeriesData< QPointF >.

Definition at line 42 of file qwt_point_data.cpp.

## ◆ x()

double QwtSyntheticPointData::x | ( | uint | index | ) | const
| virtual

Calculate a x-value from an index

x values are calculated by dividing an interval into equidistant steps. If !interval().isValid() the interval is calculated from the "rectangle of interest".

Parameters

  index | Index of the requested point

Returns
  Calculated x coordinate

See also
  interval(), rectOfInterest(), y()

Definition at line 148 of file qwt_point_data.cpp.

## ◆ y()

virtual double QwtSyntheticPointData::y | ( | double | x | ) | const
| pure virtual

Calculate a y value for a x value

Parameters

  x | x value

Returns
  Corresponding y value
