void init ()
A plot item, that represents a series of points.
A curve is the representation of a series of points in the x-y plane. It supports different display styles, interpolation ( f.e. spline ) and symbols.
Usage
When a curve is created, it is configured to draw black solid lines with in Lines style and no symbols. You can change this by calling setPen(), setStyle() and setSymbol().
QwtPlotCurve gets its points using a QwtData object offering a bridge to the real storage of the points ( like QAbstractItemModel ). There are several convenience classes derived from QwtData, that also store the points inside ( like QStandardItemModel ). QwtPlotCurve also offers a couple of variations of setData(), that build QwtData objects from arrays internally.
See QwtPlotItem::attach()
Example:
see examples/bode

Attribute for drawing the curve
Fitted ( in combination with the Lines QwtPlotCurve::CurveStyle only )
A QwtCurveFitter tries to interpolate/smooth the curve, before it is painted. Note that curve fitting requires temorary memory for calculating coefficients and additional points. If painting in Fitted mode is slow it might be better to fit the points, before they are passed to QwtPlotCurve.
Inverted
For Steps only. Draws a step function from the right to the left.
See also:
setCurveAttribute(), testCurveAttribute(), curveFitter()
Curve styles.
NoCurve
Don't draw a curve. Note: This doesn't affect the symbols.
Lines
Connect the points with straight lines. The lines might be interpolated depending on the 'Fitted' attribute. Curve fitting can be configured using setCurveFitter().
Sticks
Draw vertical(Yfx) or horizontal(Xfy) sticks from a baseline which is defined by setBaseline().
Steps
Connect the points with a step function. The step function is drawn from the left to the right or vice versa, depending on the 'Inverted' attribute.
Dots
Draw dots at the locations of the data points. Note: This is different from a dotted line (see setPen()), and faster as a curve in NoStyle style and a symbol painting a point.
UserCurve
Styles >= UserCurve are reserved for derived classes of QwtPlotCurve that overload drawCurve() with additional application specific curve types.
See also:
setStyle(), style()
Curve type.
Yfx
Draws y as a function of x (the default). The baseline is interpreted as a horizontal line with y = baseline().
Xfy
Draws x as a function of y. The baseline is interpreted as a vertical line with x = baseline().
The baseline is used for aligning the sticks, or filling the curve with a brush.
See also:
setCurveType(), curveType(), baseline() brush()
Attributes to modify the drawing algorithm.
PaintFiltered
Tries to reduce the data that has to be painted, by sorting out duplicates, or paintings outside the visible area. Might have a notable impact on curves with many close points. Only a couple of very basic filtering algos are implemented.
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 ( especially on Windows ).
The default is, that no paint attributes are enabled.

Parameters:
title Title of the curve

Parameters:
title Title of the curve
Return the value of the baseline

setBaseline()
Returns the bounding rectangle of the curve data. If there is no bounding rect, like for empty data the rectangle is invalid.
See also:
QwtData::boundingRect(), QwtDoubleRect::isValid()
Reimplemented from QwtPlotItem.
Return the brush used to fill the area between lines and the baseline. See also:
setBrush(), setBaseline(), baseline()
Complete a polygon to be a closed polygon including the area between the original polygon and the baseline. Parameters:
xMap X map
yMap Y map
pa Polygon to be completed
Find the closest curve point for a specific position
Parameters:
pos Position, where to look for the closest curve point
dist If dist != NULL, closestPoint() returns the distance between the position and the clostest curve point
Returns:
Index of the closest curve point, or -1 if none can be found ( f.e when the curve has no points )
Note:
closestPoint() implements a dumb algorithm, that iterates over all points
Get the curve fitter. If curve fitting is disabled NULL is returned.
Returns:
Curve fitter

from index of the first point to be painted
to index of the last point to be painted. If to < 0 the curve will be painted to its last point.
See also:
drawCurve(), drawSymbols(),
Draw a set of points of a curve. When observing an measurement while it is running, new points have to be added to an existing curve. drawCurve can be used to display them avoiding a complete redraw of the canvas.
Setting plot()->canvas()->setAttribute(Qt::WA_PaintOutsidePaintEvent, true); will result in faster painting, if the paint engine of the canvas widget supports this feature.
Parameters:
from Index of the first point to be painted
to Index of the last point to be painted. If to < 0 the curve will be painted to its last point.

Returns:
QwtPlotItem::Rtti_PlotCurve
Reimplemented from QwtPlotItem.
Set the value of the baseline. The baseline is needed for filling the curve with a brush or the Sticks drawing style. The default value is 0.0. The interpretation of the baseline depends on the CurveType. With QwtPlotCurve::Yfx, the baseline is interpreted as a horizontal line at y = baseline(), with QwtPlotCurve::Yfy, it is interpreted as a vertical line at x = baseline().
Parameters:
reference baseline
See also:
baseline(), setBrush(), setStyle(), setCurveType()
Assign a brush. In case of brush.style() != QBrush::NoBrush and style() != QwtPlotCurve::Sticks the area between the curve and the baseline will be filled.
In case !brush.color().isValid() the area will be filled by pen.color(). The fill algorithm simply connects the first and the last curve point to the baseline. So the curve data has to be sorted (ascending or descending).
Parameters:
brush New brush
See also:
brush(), setBaseline(), baseline()
Specify an attribute for drawing the curve
Parameters:
attribute Curve attribute
on On/Off
/sa CurveAttribute, testCurveAttribute(), setCurveFitter()
Assign a curve fitter setCurveFitter(NULL) disables curve fitting.
Parameters:
curveFitter Curve fitter
Assign the curve type
Parameters:
curveType Yfx or Xfy
See also:
CurveType, curveType()
Set data by copying x- and y-values from specified memory blocks. Contrary to setCurveRawData(), this function makes a 'deep copy' of the data.
Parameters:
xData Pointer to x values
yData Pointer to y values
size Size of xData and yData
Note:
Internally the data is stored in a QwtArrayData object
Initialize data with x- and y-arrays (explicitly shared) ( Builds an QwtArrayData object internally )
Parameters:
xData x data
yData y data
Note:
Internally the data is stored in a QwtArrayData object
Initialize data with an array of points (explicitly shared).
Parameters:
data Data
Note:
Internally the data is stored in a QwtPolygonFData object
Initialize data with a pointer to QwtData.
Parameters:
data Data
See also:
QwtData::copy()
Specify an attribute how to draw the curve
Parameters:
attribute Paint attribute
on On/Off /sa PaintAttribute, testPaintAttribute()
Assign a pen
The width of non cosmetic pens is scaled according to the resolution of the paint device.
Parameters:
pen New pen
See also:
pen(), brush(), QwtPainter::scaledPen()
Initialize the data by pointing to memory blocks which are not managed by QwtPlotCurve. setRawData is provided for efficiency. It is important to keep the pointers during the lifetime of the underlying QwtCPointerData class.
