Detailed Description

The abstract base class for layouts.

This is an abstract base class for layout elements whose main purpose is to define the position and size of other child layout elements. In most cases, layouts don't draw anything themselves (but there are exceptions to this, e.g. QCPLegend).

QCPLayout derives from QCPLayoutElement, and thus can itself be nested in other layouts.

QCPLayout introduces a common interface for accessing and manipulating the child elements. Those functions are most notably elementCount, elementAt, takeAt, take, simplify, removeAt, remove and clear. Individual subclasses may add more functions to this interface which are more specialized to the form of the layout. For example, QCPLayoutGrid adds functions that take row and column indices to access cells of the layout grid more conveniently.

Since this is an abstract base class, you can't instantiate it directly. Rather use one of its subclasses like QCPLayoutGrid or QCPLayoutInset.

For a general introduction to the layout system, see the dedicated documentation page The Layout System.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QCPLayout::QCPLayout ( )
explicit

Creates an instance of QCPLayoutElement and sets default values. Note that since QCPLayoutElement is an abstract base class, it can't be instantiated directly.

Member Function Documentation

void QCPLayout::update ( )
virtual

First calls the QCPLayoutElement::update base class implementation to update the margins on this layout.

Then calls updateLayout which subclasses reimplement to reposition and resize their cells.

Finally, update is called on all child elements.

Reimplemented from QCPLayoutElement.

QList< QCPLayoutElement * > QCPLayout::elements ( bool  recursive) const
virtual

Returns a list of all child elements in this layout element. If recursive is true, all sub-child elements are included in the list, too.

Note that there may be entries with value 0 in the returned list. (For example, QCPLayoutGrid may have empty cells which yield 0 at the respective index.)

Reimplemented from QCPLayoutElement.

Reimplemented in QCPLayoutGrid.

int QCPLayout::elementCount ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the number of elements/cells in the layout.

See Also
elements, elementAt

Implemented in QCPLayoutInset, and QCPLayoutGrid.

QCPLayoutElement * QCPLayout::elementAt ( int  index) const
pure virtual

Returns the element in the cell with the given index. If index is invalid, returns 0.

Note that even if index is valid, the respective cell may be empty in some layouts (e.g. QCPLayoutGrid), so this function may return 0 in those cases. You may use this function to check whether a cell is empty or not.

See Also
elements, elementCount, takeAt

Implemented in QCPLayoutInset, and QCPLayoutGrid.

QCPLayoutElement * QCPLayout::takeAt ( int  index)
pure virtual

Removes the element with the given index from the layout and returns it.

If the index is invalid or the cell with that index is empty, returns 0.

Note that some layouts don't remove the respective cell right away but leave an empty cell after successful removal of the layout element. To collapse empty cells, use simplify.

See Also
elementAt, take

Implemented in QCPLayoutInset, and QCPLayoutGrid.

bool QCPLayout::take ( QCPLayoutElement element)
pure virtual

Removes the specified element from the layout and returns true on success.

If the element isn't in this layout, returns false.

Note that some layouts don't remove the respective cell right away but leave an empty cell after successful removal of the layout element. To collapse empty cells, use simplify.

See Also
takeAt

Implemented in QCPLayoutInset, and QCPLayoutGrid.

void QCPLayout::simplify ( )
virtual

Simplifies the layout by collapsing empty cells. The exact behavior depends on subclasses, the default implementation does nothing.

Not all layouts need simplification. For example, QCPLayoutInset doesn't use explicit simplification while QCPLayoutGrid does.

Reimplemented in QCPLayoutInset, and QCPLayoutGrid.

bool QCPLayout::removeAt ( int  index)

Removes and deletes the element at the provided index. Returns true on success. If index is invalid or points to an empty cell, returns false.

This function internally uses takeAt to remove the element from the layout and then deletes the returned element.

See Also
remove, takeAt
bool QCPLayout::remove ( QCPLayoutElement element)

Removes and deletes the provided element. Returns true on success. If element is not in the layout, returns false.

This function internally uses takeAt to remove the element from the layout and then deletes the element.

See Also
removeAt, take
void QCPLayout::clear ( )

Removes and deletes all layout elements in this layout.

See Also
remove, removeAt
void QCPLayout::updateLayout ( )
protectedvirtual

Subclasses reimplement this method to update the position and sizes of the child elements/cells via calling their QCPLayoutElement::setOuterRect. The default implementation does nothing.

The geometry used as a reference is the inner rect of this layout. Child elements should stay within that rect.

getSectionSizes may help with the reimplementation of this function.

See Also
update

Reimplemented in QCPLayoutInset, and QCPLayoutGrid.

void QCPLayout::sizeConstraintsChanged ( ) const
protected

Subclasses call this method to report changed (minimum/maximum) size constraints.

If the parent of this layout is again a QCPLayout, forwards the call to the parent's sizeConstraintsChanged. If the parent is a QWidget (i.e. is the QCustomPlot::plotLayout of QCustomPlot), calls QWidget::updateGeometry, so if the QCustomPlot widget is inside a Qt QLayout, it may update itself and resize cells accordingly.

void QCPLayout::adoptElement ( QCPLayoutElement el)
protected

Associates el with this layout. This is done by setting the QCPLayoutElement::layout, the QCPLayerable::parentLayerable and the QObject parent to this layout.

Further, if el didn't previously have a parent plot, calls QCPLayerable::initializeParentPlot on el to set the paret plot.

This method is used by subclass specific methods that add elements to the layout. Note that this method only changes properties in el. The removal from the old layout and the insertion into the new layout must be done additionally.

void QCPLayout::releaseElement ( QCPLayoutElement el)
protected

Disassociates el from this layout. This is done by setting the QCPLayoutElement::layout and the QCPLayerable::parentLayerable to zero. The QObject parent is set to the parent QCustomPlot.

This method is used by subclass specific methods that remove elements from the layout (e.g. take or takeAt). Note that this method only changes properties in el. The removal from the old layout must be done additionally.

QVector< int > QCPLayout::getSectionSizes ( QVector< int >  maxSizes,
QVector< int >  minSizes,
QVector< double >  stretchFactors,
int  totalSize 
) const
protected

This is a helper function for the implementation of updateLayout in subclasses.

It calculates the sizes of one-dimensional sections with provided constraints on maximum section sizes, minimum section sizes, relative stretch factors and the final total size of all sections.

The QVector entries refer to the sections. Thus all QVectors must have the same size.

maxSizes gives the maximum allowed size of each section. If there shall be no maximum size imposed, set all vector values to Qt's QWIDGETSIZE_MAX.

minSizes gives the minimum allowed size of each section. If there shall be no minimum size imposed, set all vector values to zero. If the minSizes entries add up to a value greater than totalSize, sections will be scaled smaller than the proposed minimum sizes. (In other words, not exceeding the allowed total size is taken to be more important than not going below minimum section sizes.)

stretchFactors give the relative proportions of the sections to each other. If all sections shall be scaled equally, set all values equal. If the first section shall be double the size of each individual other section, set the first number of stretchFactors to double the value of the other individual values (e.g. {2, 1, 1, 1}).

totalSize is the value that the final section sizes will add up to. Due to rounding, the actual sum may differ slightly. If you want the section sizes to sum up to exactly that value, you could distribute the remaining difference on the sections.

The return value is a QVector containing the section sizes.

QCPLayout * QCPLayoutElement::layout ( ) const
inlineinherited

Returns the parent layout of this layout element.

QRect QCPLayoutElement::rect ( ) const
inlineinherited

Returns the inner rect of this layout element. The inner rect is the outer rect (setOuterRect) shrinked by the margins (setMargins, setAutoMargins).

In some cases, the area between outer and inner rect is left blank. In other cases the margin area is used to display peripheral graphics while the main content is in the inner rect. This is where automatic margin calculation becomes interesting because it allows the layout element to adapt the margins to the peripheral graphics it wants to draw. For example, QCPAxisRect draws the axis labels and tick labels in the margin area, thus needs to adjust the margins (if setAutoMargins is enabled) according to the space required by the labels of the axes.

void QCPLayoutElement::setOuterRect ( const QRect &  rect)
inherited

Sets the outer rect of this layout element. If the layout element is inside a layout, the layout sets the position and size of this layout element using this function.

Calling this function externally has no effect, since the layout will overwrite any changes to the outer rect upon the next replot.

The layout element will adapt its inner rect by applying the margins inward to the outer rect.

See Also
rect
void QCPLayoutElement::setMargins ( const QMargins &  margins)
inherited

Sets the margins of this layout element. If setAutoMargins is disabled for some or all sides, this function is used to manually set the margin on those sides. Sides that are still set to be handled automatically are ignored and may have any value in margins.

The margin is the distance between the outer rect (controlled by the parent layout via setOuterRect) and the inner rect (which usually contains the main content of this layout element).

See Also
setAutoMargins
void QCPLayoutElement::setMinimumMargins ( const QMargins &  margins)
inherited

If setAutoMargins is enabled on some or all margins, this function is used to provide minimum values for those margins.

The minimum values are not enforced on margin sides that were set to be under manual control via setAutoMargins.

See Also
setAutoMargins
void QCPLayoutElement::setAutoMargins ( QCP::MarginSides  sides)
inherited

Sets on which sides the margin shall be calculated automatically. If a side is calculated automatically, a minimum margin value may be provided with setMinimumMargins. If a side is set to be controlled manually, the value may be specified with setMargins.

Margin sides that are under automatic control may participate in a QCPMarginGroup (see setMarginGroup), to synchronize (align) it with other layout elements in the plot.

See Also
setMinimumMargins, setMargins
void QCPLayoutElement::setMinimumSize ( const QSize &  size)
inherited

Sets the minimum size for the inner rect of this layout element. A parent layout tries to respect the size here by changing row/column sizes in the layout accordingly.

If the parent layout size is not sufficient to satisfy all minimum size constraints of its child layout elements, the layout may set a size that is actually smaller than size. QCustomPlot propagates the layout's size constraints to the outside by setting its own minimum QWidget size accordingly, so violations of size should be exceptions.

void QCPLayoutElement::setMinimumSize ( int  width,
int  height 
)
inherited

This is an overloaded function.

Sets the minimum size for the inner rect of this layout element.

void QCPLayoutElement::setMaximumSize ( const QSize &  size)
inherited

Sets the maximum size for the inner rect of this layout element. A parent layout tries to respect the size here by changing row/column sizes in the layout accordingly.

void QCPLayoutElement::setMaximumSize ( int  width,
int  height 
)
inherited

This is an overloaded function.

Sets the maximum size for the inner rect of this layout element.

void QCPLayoutElement::setMarginGroup ( QCP::MarginSides  sides,
QCPMarginGroup group 
)
inherited

Sets the margin group of the specified margin sides.

Margin groups allow synchronizing specified margins across layout elements, see the documentation of QCPMarginGroup.

To unset the margin group of sides, set group to 0.

Note that margin groups only work for margin sides that are set to automatic (setAutoMargins).

QSize QCPLayoutElement::minimumSizeHint ( ) const
virtualinherited

Returns the minimum size this layout element (the inner rect) may be compressed to.

if a minimum size (setMinimumSize) was not set manually, parent layouts consult this function to determine the minimum allowed size of this layout element. (A manual minimum size is considered set if it is non-zero.)

Reimplemented in QCPLayoutGrid, QCPPlottableLegendItem, and QCPPlotTitle.

QSize QCPLayoutElement::maximumSizeHint ( ) const
virtualinherited

Returns the maximum size this layout element (the inner rect) may be expanded to.

if a maximum size (setMaximumSize) was not set manually, parent layouts consult this function to determine the maximum allowed size of this layout element. (A manual maximum size is considered set if it is smaller than Qt's QWIDGETSIZE_MAX.)

Reimplemented in QCPLayoutGrid, and QCPPlotTitle.

double QCPLayoutElement::selectTest ( const QPointF &  pos,
bool  onlySelectable,
QVariant *  details = 0 
) const
virtualinherited

Layout elements are sensitive to events inside their outer rect. If pos is within the outer rect, this method returns a value corresponding to 0.99 times the parent plot's selection tolerance. However, layout elements are not selectable by default. So if onlySelectable is true, -1.0 is returned.

See QCPLayerable::selectTest for a general explanation of this virtual method.

QCPLayoutElement subclasses may reimplement this method to provide more specific selection test behaviour.

Reimplemented from QCPLayerable.

Reimplemented in QCPLayoutInset, QCPLegend, QCPAbstractLegendItem, and QCPPlotTitle.

int QCPLayoutElement::calculateAutoMargin ( QCP::MarginSide  side)
protectedvirtualinherited

Returns the margin size for this side. It is used if automatic margins is enabled for this side (see setAutoMargins). If a minimum margin was set with setMinimumMargins, the returned value will not be smaller than the specified minimum margin.

The default implementation just returns the respective manual margin (setMargins) or the minimum margin, whichever is larger.

Reimplemented in QCPAxisRect.

void QCPLayoutElement::mousePressEvent ( QMouseEvent *  event)
inlineprotectedvirtualinherited

This event is called, if the mouse was pressed while being inside the outer rect of this layout element.

Reimplemented in QCPAxisRect.

void QCPLayoutElement::mouseMoveEvent ( QMouseEvent *  event)
inlineprotectedvirtualinherited

This event is called, if the mouse is moved inside the outer rect of this layout element.

Reimplemented in QCPAxisRect.

void QCPLayoutElement::mouseReleaseEvent ( QMouseEvent *  event)
inlineprotectedvirtualinherited

This event is called, if the mouse was previously pressed inside the outer rect of this layout element and is now released.

Reimplemented in QCPAxisRect.

void QCPLayoutElement::mouseDoubleClickEvent ( QMouseEvent *  event)
inlineprotectedvirtualinherited

This event is called, if the mouse is double-clicked inside the outer rect of this layout element.

void QCPLayoutElement::wheelEvent ( QWheelEvent *  event)
inlineprotectedvirtualinherited

This event is called, if the mouse wheel is scrolled while the cursor is inside the rect of this layout element.

Reimplemented in QCPAxisRect.

virtual void QCPLayoutElement::applyDefaultAntialiasingHint ( QCPPainter painter) const
inlineprotectedvirtualinherited

This function applies the default antialiasing setting to the specified painter, using the function applyAntialiasingHint. It is the antialiasing state the painter is put in, when draw is called on the layerable. If the layerable has multiple entities whose antialiasing setting may be specified individually, this function should set the antialiasing state of the most prominent entity. In this case however, the draw function usually calls the specialized versions of this function before drawing each entity, effectively overriding the setting of the default antialiasing hint.

First example: QCPGraph has multiple entities that have an antialiasing setting: The graph line, fills, scatters and error bars. Those can be configured via QCPGraph::setAntialiased, QCPGraph::setAntialiasedFill, QCPGraph::setAntialiasedScatters etc. Consequently, there isn't only the QCPGraph::applyDefaultAntialiasingHint function (which corresponds to the graph line's antialiasing), but specialized ones like QCPGraph::applyFillAntialiasingHint and QCPGraph::applyScattersAntialiasingHint. So before drawing one of those entities, QCPGraph::draw calls the respective specialized applyAntialiasingHint function.

Second example: QCPItemLine consists only of a line so there is only one antialiasing setting which can be controlled with QCPItemLine::setAntialiased. (This function is inherited by all layerables. The specialized functions, as seen on QCPGraph, must be added explicitly to the respective layerable subclass.) Consequently it only has the normal QCPItemLine::applyDefaultAntialiasingHint. The QCPItemLine::draw function doesn't need to care about setting any antialiasing states, because the default antialiasing hint is already set on the painter when the draw function is called, and that's the state it wants to draw the line with.

Implements QCPLayerable.

Reimplemented in QCPLegend, QCPAxisRect, QCPAbstractLegendItem, and QCPPlotTitle.

virtual void QCPLayoutElement::draw ( QCPPainter painter)
inlineprotectedvirtualinherited

This function draws the layerable with the specified painter. It is only called by QCustomPlot, if the layerable is visible (setVisible).

Before this function is called, the painter's antialiasing state is set via applyDefaultAntialiasingHint, see the documentation there. Further, the clipping rectangle was set to clipRect.

Implements QCPLayerable.

Reimplemented in QCPLegend, QCPAxisRect, QCPPlottableLegendItem, QCPAbstractLegendItem, and QCPPlotTitle.

void QCPLayoutElement::parentPlotInitialized ( QCustomPlot parentPlot)
protectedvirtualinherited

propagates the parent plot initialization to all child elements, by calling QCPLayerable::initializeParentPlot on them.

Reimplemented from QCPLayerable.

Reimplemented in QCPLegend.

QCPLayerable * QCPLayerable::parentLayerable ( ) const
inlineinherited

Returns the parent layerable of this layerable. The parent layerable is used to provide visibility hierarchies in conjunction with the method realVisibility. This way, layerables only get drawn if their parent layerables are visible, too.

Note that a parent layerable is not necessarily also the QObject parent for memory management. Further, a layerable doesn't always have a parent layerable, so this function may return 0.

A parent layerable is set implicitly with when placed inside layout elements and doesn't need to be set manually by the user.

void QCPLayerable::setVisible ( bool  on)
inherited

Sets the visibility of this layerable object. If an object is not visible, it will not be drawn on the QCustomPlot surface, and user interaction with it (e.g. click and selection) is not possible.

bool QCPLayerable::setLayer ( QCPLayer layer)
inherited

Sets the layer of this layerable object. The object will be placed on top of the other objects already on layer.

Returns true on success, i.e. if layer is a valid layer.

bool QCPLayerable::setLayer ( const QString &  layerName)
inherited

This is an overloaded function.

Sets the layer of this layerable object by name

Returns true on success, i.e. if layerName is a valid layer name.

void QCPLayerable::setAntialiased ( bool  enabled)
inherited

Sets whether this object will be drawn antialiased or not.

Note that antialiasing settings may be overridden by QCustomPlot::setAntialiasedElements and QCustomPlot::setNotAntialiasedElements.

bool QCPLayerable::realVisibility ( ) const
inherited

Returns whether this layerable is visible, taking possible direct layerable parent visibility into account. This is the method that is consulted to decide whether a layerable shall be drawn or not.

If this layerable has a direct layerable parent (usually set via hierarchies implemented in subclasses, like in the case of QCPLayoutElement), this function returns true only if this layerable has its visibility set to true and the parent layerable's realVisibility returns true.

If this layerable doesn't have a direct layerable parent, returns the state of this layerable's visibility.

QCP::Interaction QCPLayerable::selectionCategory ( ) const
protectedvirtualinherited

Returns the selection category this layerable shall belong to. The selection category is used in conjunction with QCustomPlot::setInteractions to control which objects are selectable and which aren't.

Subclasses that don't fit any of the normal QCP::Interaction values can use QCP::iSelectOther. This is what the default implementation returns.

See Also
QCustomPlot::setInteractions

Reimplemented in QCPAxis, QCPLegend, QCPAbstractItem, QCPAbstractPlottable, and QCPAbstractLegendItem.

QRect QCPLayerable::clipRect ( ) const
protectedvirtualinherited

Returns the clipping rectangle of this layerable object. By default, this is the viewport of the parent QCustomPlot. Specific subclasses may reimplement this function to provide different clipping rects.

The returned clipping rect is set on the painter before the draw function of the respective object is called.

Reimplemented in QCPAbstractItem, QCPAbstractPlottable, and QCPAbstractLegendItem.

void QCPLayerable::selectEvent ( QMouseEvent *  event,
bool  additive,
const QVariant &  details,
bool *  selectionStateChanged 
)
protectedvirtualinherited

This event is called when the layerable shall be selected, as a consequence of a click by the user. Subclasses should react to it by setting their selection state appropriately. The default implementation does nothing.

event is the mouse event that caused the selection. additive indicates, whether the user was holding the multi-select-modifier while performing the selection (see QCustomPlot::setMultiSelectModifier). if additive is true, the selection state must be toggled (i.e. become selected when unselected and unselected when selected).

Every selectEvent is preceded by a call to selectTest, which has returned positively (i.e. returned a value greater than 0 and less than the selection tolerance of the parent QCustomPlot). The details data you output from selectTest is feeded back via details here. You may use it to transport any kind of information from the selectTest to the possibly subsequent selectEvent. Usually details is used to transfer which part was clicked, if it is a layerable that has multiple individually selectable parts (like QCPAxis). This way selectEvent doesn't need to do the calculation again to find out which part was actually clicked.

selectionStateChanged is an output parameter. If the pointer is non-null, this function must set the value either to true or false, depending on whether the selection state of this layerable was actually changed. For layerables that only are selectable as a whole and not in parts, this is simple: if additive is true, selectionStateChanged must also be set to true, because the selection toggles. If additive is false, selectionStateChanged is only set to true, if the layerable was previously unselected and now is switched to the selected state.

See Also
selectTest, deselectEvent

Reimplemented in QCPAxis, QCPLegend, QCPAbstractItem, QCPAbstractPlottable, QCPPlotTitle, and QCPAbstractLegendItem.

void QCPLayerable::deselectEvent ( bool *  selectionStateChanged)
protectedvirtualinherited

This event is called when the layerable shall be deselected, either as consequence of a user interaction or a call to QCustomPlot::deselectAll. Subclasses should react to it by unsetting their selection appropriately.

just as in selectEvent, the output parameter selectionStateChanged (if non-null), must return true or false when the selection state of this layerable has changed or not changed, respectively.

See Also
selectTest, selectEvent

Reimplemented in QCPAxis, QCPLegend, QCPAbstractItem, QCPAbstractPlottable, QCPPlotTitle, and QCPAbstractLegendItem.

void QCPLayerable::initializeParentPlot ( QCustomPlot parentPlot)
protectedinherited

Sets the parent plot of this layerable. Use this function once to set the parent plot if you have passed 0 in the constructor. It can not be used to move a layerable from one QCustomPlot to another one.

Note that, unlike when passing a non-null parent plot in the constructor, this function does not make parentPlot the QObject-parent of this layerable. If you want this, call QObject::setParent(parentPlot) in addition to this function.

Further, you will probably want to set a layer (setLayer) after calling this function, to make the layerable appear on the QCustomPlot.

The parent plot change will be propagated to subclasses via a call to parentPlotInitialized so they can react accordingly (e.g. also initialize the parent plot of child layerables, like QCPLayout does).

void QCPLayerable::setParentLayerable ( QCPLayerable parentLayerable)
protectedinherited

Sets the parent layerable of this layerable to parentLayerable. Note that parentLayerable does not become the QObject-parent (for memory management) of this layerable.

The parent layerable has influence on the return value of the realVisibility method. Only layerables with a fully visible parent tree will return true for realVisibility, and thus be drawn.

See Also
realVisibility
bool QCPLayerable::moveToLayer ( QCPLayer layer,
bool  prepend 
)
protectedinherited

Moves this layerable object to layer. If prepend is true, this object will be prepended to the new layer's list, i.e. it will be drawn below the objects already on the layer. If it is false, the object will be appended.

Returns true on success, i.e. if layer is a valid layer.

void QCPLayerable::applyAntialiasingHint ( QCPPainter painter,
bool  localAntialiased,
QCP::AntialiasedElement  overrideElement 
) const
protectedinherited

Sets the QCPainter::setAntialiasing state on the provided painter, depending on the localAntialiased value as well as the overrides QCustomPlot::setAntialiasedElements and QCustomPlot::setNotAntialiasedElements. Which override enum this function takes into account is controlled via overrideElement.
