Detailed Description

QPainter subclass used internally.

This internal class is used to provide some extended functionality e.g. for tweaking position consistency between antialiased and non-antialiased painting and drawing common shapes (like scatter symbols). Further it provides workarounds for QPainter quirks.

Warning:
This class intentionally hides non-virtual functions of QPainter, e.g. setPen, save and restore. So while it is possible to pass a QCPPainter instance to a function that expects a QPainter pointer, some of the workarounds and tweaks will be unavailable to the function (because it will call the base class implementations of the functions actually hidden by QCPPainter).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Creates a new QCPPainter instance and sets default values

QCPPainter::QCPPainter ( QPaintDevice *  device)

Creates a new QCPPainter instance on the specified paint device and sets default values. Just like the analogous QPainter constructor, begins painting on device immediately.


Member Function Documentation

void QCPPainter::setScatterPixmap ( const QPixmap  pm)

Sets the pixmap that will be used to draw scatters with drawScatter, when the style is QCP::ssPixmap.

void QCPPainter::setAntialiasing ( bool  enabled)

Sets whether painting uses antialiasing or not. Use this method instead of using setRenderHint with QPainter::Antialiasing directly, as it allows QCPPainter to regain pixel exactness between antialiased and non-antialiased painting (Since Qt uses slightly different coordinate systems for AA/Non-AA painting).

void QCPPainter::setPdfExportMode ( bool  enabled)

Sets whether the painter shall adjust its fixes/workarounds optimized for vectorized pdf export.

This means for example, that the antialiasing/non-antialiasing fix introduced with setAntialiasing is not used, since PDF is not rastered and thus works with floating point data natively.

void QCPPainter::setScaledExportMode ( bool  enabled)

Sets whether the painter shall adjust its fixes/workarounds optimized for scaled export to rastered image formats.

For example this provides a workaround for a QPainter bug that prevents scaling of pen widths for pens with width 0, although the QPainter::NonCosmeticDefaultPen render hint is set.

void QCPPainter::setPen ( const QPen &  pen)

Sets the pen of the painter and applies certain fixes to it, depending on the mode of this QCPPainter.

Note:
this function hides the non-virtual base class implementation.
void QCPPainter::setPen ( const QColor &  color)

This is an overloaded function.

Sets the pen (by color) of the painter and applies certain fixes to it, depending on the mode of this QCPPainter.

Note:
this function hides the non-virtual base class implementation.
void QCPPainter::setPen ( Qt::PenStyle  penStyle)

This is an overloaded function.

Sets the pen (by style) of the painter and applies certain fixes to it, depending on the mode of this QCPPainter.

Note:
this function hides the non-virtual base class implementation.
void QCPPainter::drawLine ( const QLineF &  line)

This is an overloaded function.

Works around a Qt bug introduced with Qt 4.8 which makes drawing QLineF unpredictable when antialiasing is disabled.

Note:
this function hides the non-virtual base class implementation.
void QCPPainter::save ( )

Saves the painter (see QPainter::save). Since QCPPainter adds some new internal state to QPainter, the save/restore functions are reimplemented to also save/restore those members.

Note:
this function hides the non-virtual base class implementation.
See also:
restore

Restores the painter (see QPainter::restore). Since QCPPainter adds some new internal state to QPainter, the save/restore functions are reimplemented to also save/restore those members.

Note:
this function hides the non-virtual base class implementation.
See also:
save

Provides a workaround for a QPainter bug that prevents scaling of pen widths for pens with width 0, although the QPainter::NonCosmeticDefaultPen render hint is set.

Changes the pen width from 0 to 1, if appropriate.

Does nothing if the QCPPainter is not in scaled export mode (setScaledExportMode).

void QCPPainter::drawScatter ( double  x,
double  y,
double  size,
QCP::ScatterStyle  style 
)

Draws a single scatter point with the specified style and size in pixels at the pixel position x and y.

If the style is ssPixmap, make sure to pass the respective pixmap with setScatterPixmap before calling this function.
