## Detailed Description

A scale engine for linear scales.

The step size will fit into the pattern , where n is an integer.

## Member Function Documentation

QwtDoubleInterval QwtLinearScaleEngine::align | ( | const QwtDoubleInterval & | interval,
|  | double | stepSize |
| ) |  |  | const`[protected]`

Align an interval to a step size.

The limits of an interval are aligned that both are integer multiples of the step size.

Parameters:

  | interval | Interval
  | stepSize | Step size

Returns:
  Aligned interval

void QwtLinearScaleEngine::autoScale | ( | int | maxNumSteps,
|  | double & | x1,
|  | double & | x2,
|  | double & | stepSize |
| ) |  |  | const`[virtual]`

Align and divide an interval

Parameters:

  | maxNumSteps | Max. number of steps
  | x1 | First limit of the interval (In/Out)
  | x2 | Second limit of the interval (In/Out)
  | stepSize | Step size (Out)

  setAttribute()

Implements QwtScaleEngine.

QwtScaleDiv QwtLinearScaleEngine::divideScale | ( | double | x1,
|  | double | x2,
|  | int | maxMajSteps,
|  | int | maxMinSteps,
|  | double | stepSize = `0.0` |
| ) |  |  | const`[virtual]`

Calculate a scale division.

Parameters:

  | x1 | First interval limit
  | x2 | Second interval limit
  | maxMajSteps | Maximum for the number of major steps
  | maxMinSteps | Maximum number of minor steps
  | stepSize | Step size. If stepSize == 0, the scaleEngine calculates one.

QwtScaleTransformation * QwtLinearScaleEngine::transformation | ( |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

Return a transformation, for linear scales
