## Detailed Description

A class which draws a scale inside the plot canvas.

QwtPlotScaleItem can be used to draw an axis inside the plot canvas. It might by synchronized to one of the axis of the plot, but can also display its own ticks and labels.

It is allowed to synchronize the scale item with a disabled axis. In plots with vertical and horizontal scale items, it might be necessary to remove ticks at the intersections, by overloading updateScaleDiv().

The scale might be at a specific position (f.e 0.0) or it might be aligned to a canvas border.

Example
  The following example shows how to replace the left axis, by a scale item at the x position 0.0.
  QwtPlotScaleItem *scaleItem = new QwtPlotScaleItem( QwtScaleDraw::RightScale, 0.0 );
  scaleItem->setFont( plot->axisWidget( QwtAxis::YLeft )->font() );
  scaleItem->attach(plot);
  plot->setAxisVisible( QwtAxis::YLeft, false );
  QwtPlot::setAxisVisible
  void setAxisVisible(QwtAxisId, bool on=true)
  Hide or show a specified axis.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ QwtPlotScaleItem()

QwtPlotScaleItem::QwtPlotScaleItem | ( | QwtScaleDraw::Alignment | alignment = QwtScaleDraw::BottomScale,
|  | const double | pos = 0.0 )
| explicit

Constructor for scale item at the position pos.

Parameters

  alignment | In case of QwtScaleDraw::BottomScale or QwtScaleDraw::TopScale the scale item is corresponding to the xAxis(), otherwise it corresponds to the yAxis().
  pos | x or y position, depending on the corresponding axis.

## ◆ isScaleDivFromAxis()

bool QwtPlotScaleItem::isScaleDivFromAxis | ( |  | ) | const

Returns
  True, if the synchronization of the scale division with the corresponding axis is enabled.

## ◆ scaleDiv()

const QwtScaleDiv & QwtPlotScaleItem::scaleDiv | ( |  | ) | const

Returns
  Scale division

Definition at line 115 of file qwt_plot_scaleitem.cpp.

## ◆ scaleDraw() [1/2]

Definition at line 236 of file qwt_plot_scaleitem.cpp.

## ◆ setAlignment()

void QwtPlotScaleItem::setAlignment | ( | QwtScaleDraw::Alignment | alignment | ) |

Change the alignment of the scale

The alignment sets the orientation of the scale and the position of the ticks:

- QwtScaleDraw::BottomScale: horizontal, ticks below
- QwtScaleDraw::TopScale: horizontal, ticks above
- QwtScaleDraw::LeftScale: vertical, ticks left
- QwtScaleDraw::RightScale: vertical, ticks right

For horizontal scales the position corresponds to QwtPlotItem::yAxis(), otherwise to QwtPlotItem::xAxis().

Definition at line 333 of file qwt_plot_scaleitem.cpp.

## ◆ setBorderDistance()

void QwtPlotScaleItem::setBorderDistance | ( | int | distance | ) |

Align the scale to the canvas.

If distance is >= 0 the scale will be aligned to a border of the contents rectangle of the canvas. If alignment() is QwtScaleDraw::LeftScale, the scale will be aligned to the right border, if it is QwtScaleDraw::TopScale it will be aligned to the bottom (and vice versa),

If distance is < 0 the scale will be at the position().

Parameters

  distance | Number of pixels between the canvas border and the backbone of the scale.
