## Detailed Description

The Slider Widget.

QwtSlider is a slider widget which operates on an interval of type double. QwtSlider supports different layouts as well as a scale.

See also:
  QwtAbstractSlider and QwtAbstractScale for the descriptions of the inherited members.

## Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QwtSlider::BGSTYLE

Background style.

See also:
  QwtSlider()

enum QwtSlider::ScalePos

Scale position. QwtSlider tries to enforce valid combinations of its orientation and scale position:

- Qt::Horizonal combines with NoScale, TopScale and BottomScale
- Qt::Vertical combines with NoScale, LeftScale and RightScale

See also:
  QwtSlider()

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QwtSlider::QwtSlider | ( | QWidget * | parent,
|  | Qt::Orientation | orientation = `Qt::Horizontal`,
|  | ScalePos | scalePos = `NoScale`,
|  | BGSTYLE | bgStyle = `BgTrough` |
| ) |  |  | `[explicit]`

Constructor.

Parameters:

  | parent | parent widget
  | orientation | Orientation of the slider. Can be Qt::Horizontal or Qt::Vertical. Defaults to Qt::Horizontal.
  | scalePos | Position of the scale. Defaults to QwtSlider::NoScale.
  | bgStyle | Background style. QwtSlider::BgTrough draws the slider button in a trough, QwtSlider::BgSlot draws a slot underneath the button. An or-combination of both may also be used. The default is QwtSlider::BgTrough.

QwtSlider enforces valid combinations of its orientation and scale position. If the combination is invalid, the scale position will be set to NoScale. Valid combinations are:

- Qt::Horizonal with NoScale, TopScale, or BottomScale;
- Qt::Vertical with NoScale, LeftScale, or RightScale.

## Member Function Documentation

QwtSlider::BGSTYLE QwtSlider::bgStyle | ( |  | ) | const

Returns:
  the background style.

int QwtSlider::borderWidth | ( |  | ) | const

Returns:
  the border width.

void QwtSlider::draw | ( | QPainter * | p,
|  | const QRect & | update_rect |
| ) |  |  | `[protected]`

Draw the QwtSlider.

void QwtSlider::drawSlider | ( | QPainter * | painter,
|  | const QRect & | r |
| ) |  |  | `[protected, virtual]`

Draw the slider into the specified rectangle.

Parameters:

  | painter | Painter
  | r | Rectangle

void QwtSlider::drawThumb | ( | QPainter * | painter,
|  | const QRect & | sliderRect,
|  | int | pos |
| ) |  |  | `[protected, virtual]`

Draw the thumb at a position

Parameters:

  | painter | Painter
  | sliderRect | Bounding rectangle of the slider
  | pos | Position of the slider thumb

void QwtSlider::fontChange | ( | const QFont & | oldFont | ) | `[protected, virtual]`

Notify change in font.

void QwtSlider::getScrollMode | ( | const QPoint & | p,
|  | int & | scrollMode,
|  | int & | direction |
| ) |  |  | `[protected, virtual]`

Determine scrolling mode and direction.

Parameters:

  | p | point
  | scrollMode | Scrolling mode
  | direction | Direction

Implements QwtAbstractSlider.

double QwtSlider::getValue | ( | const QPoint & | pos | ) | `[protected, virtual]`

Determine the value corresponding to a specified mouse location.

Parameters:

  | pos | Mouse position

Implements QwtAbstractSlider.

void QwtSlider::layoutSlider | ( | bool | update_geometry = `true` | ) | `[protected]`

Recalculate the slider's geometry and layout based on the current rect and fonts.

Parameters:

  | update_geometry | notify the layout system and call update to redraw the scale

QSize QwtSlider::minimumSizeHint | ( |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

Return a minimum size hint.

Warning:
  The return value of QwtSlider::minimumSizeHint() depends on the font and the scale.

void QwtSlider::paintEvent | ( | QPaintEvent * | event | ) | `[protected, virtual]`

Qt paint event

Parameters:

  | event | Paint event

void QwtSlider::rangeChange | ( |  | ) | `[protected, virtual]`

Notify change of range.

Reimplemented from QwtDoubleRange.

void QwtSlider::resizeEvent | ( | QResizeEvent * | e | ) | `[protected, virtual]`

Qt resize event.

void QwtSlider::scaleChange | ( |  | ) | `[protected, virtual]`

Notify changed scale.

Reimplemented from QwtAbstractScale.

QwtScaleDraw * QwtSlider::scaleDraw | ( |  | ) | `[protected]`

Returns:
  the scale draw of the slider

See also:
  setScaleDraw()

const QwtScaleDraw * QwtSlider::scaleDraw | ( |  | ) | const

Returns:
  the scale draw of the slider

See also:
  setScaleDraw()

QwtSlider::ScalePos QwtSlider::scalePosition | ( |  | ) | const

Return the scale position.

void QwtSlider::setBgStyle | ( | BGSTYLE | st | ) |

Set the background style.

void QwtSlider::setBorderWidth | ( | int | bd | ) |

Change the slider's border width.

  QwtAbstractSlider::orientation()

Reimplemented from QwtAbstractSlider.

void QwtSlider::setScaleDraw | ( | QwtScaleDraw * | scaleDraw | ) |
