## Detailed Description

Canvas of a QwtPlot.

Canvas is the widget where all plot items are displayed

Definition at line 29 of file qwt_plot_canvas.h.

## Member Typedef Documentation

## ◆ PaintAttributes

typedef QFlags<PaintAttribute > QwtPlotCanvas::PaintAttributes

An ORed combination of PaintAttribute values.

Definition at line 102 of file qwt_plot_canvas.h.

## Member Enumeration Documentation

## ◆ PaintAttribute

enum QwtPlotCanvas::PaintAttribute

Paint attributes.

The default setting enables BackingStore and Opaque.

See also
  setPaintAttribute(), testPaintAttribute()

Enumerator
BackingStore | Paint double buffered reusing the content of the pixmap buffer when possible. Using a backing store might improve the performance significantly, when working with widget overlays ( like rubber bands ). Disabling the cache might improve the performance for incremental paints (using QwtPlotDirectPainter ). See also backingStore(), invalidateBackingStore()
Opaque | Try to fill the complete contents rectangle of the plot canvas. When using styled backgrounds Qt assumes, that the canvas doesn't fill its area completely ( f.e because of rounded borders ) and fills the area below the canvas. When this is done with gradients it might result in a serious performance bottleneck - depending on the size. When the Opaque attribute is enabled the canvas tries to identify the gaps with some heuristics and to fill those only. Warning Will not work for semitransparent backgrounds
HackStyledBackground | Try to improve painting of styled backgrounds. QwtPlotCanvas supports the box model attributes for customizing the layout with style sheets. Unfortunately the design of Qt style sheets has no concept how to handle backgrounds with rounded corners - beside of padding. When HackStyledBackground is enabled the plot canvas tries to separate the background from the background border by reverse engineering to paint the background before and the border after the plot items. In this order the border gets perfectly antialiased and you can avoid some pixel artifacts in the corners.
ImmediatePaint | When ImmediatePaint is set replot() calls repaint() instead of update(). See also replot(), QWidget::repaint(), QWidget::update()

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ QwtPlotCanvas()

QwtPlotCanvas::QwtPlotCanvas | ( | QwtPlot * | plot = NULL | ) |
| explicit

Constructor.

Parameters

  plot | Parent plot widget

See also
  QwtPlot::setCanvas()

Definition at line 41 of file qwt_plot_canvas.cpp.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ backingStore()

const QPixmap * QwtPlotCanvas::backingStore | ( |  | ) | const

Returns

Draw the border of the plot canvas

Parameters

  painter | Painter

See also
  setBorderRadius()

Reimplemented from QwtPlotAbstractCanvas.

Definition at line 276 of file qwt_plot_canvas.cpp.

## ◆ event()

bool QwtPlotCanvas::event | ( | QEvent * | event | ) |
| override virtual

Parameters

  event | Qt Event

Returns
  See QFrame::event()

Definition at line 151 of file qwt_plot_canvas.cpp.

## ◆ invalidateBackingStore()

void QwtPlotCanvas::invalidateBackingStore | ( |  | ) |

Invalidate the internal backing store.

Definition at line 139 of file qwt_plot_canvas.cpp.

Test whether a paint attribute is enabled

Parameters

  attribute | Paint attribute

Returns
  true, when attribute is enabled
