Detailed Description

Item that sticks to QCPGraph data points.

Tracer example. Blue dotted circles are anchors, solid blue discs are positions.

The tracer can be connected with a QCPGraph via setGraph. Then it will automatically adopt the coordinate axes of the graph and update its position to be on the graph's data. This means the key stays controllable via setGraphKey, but the value will follow the graph data. If a QCPGraph is connected, note that setting the coordinates of the tracer item directly via position will have no effect because they will be overriden in the next redraw (this is when the coordinate update happens).

If the specified key in setGraphKey is outside the key bounds of the graph, the tracer will stay at the corresponding end of the graph.

With setInterpolating you may specify whether the tracer may only stay exactly on data points or whether it interpolates data points linearly, if given a key that lies between two data points of the graph.

The tracer has different visual styles, see setStyle. It is also possible to make the tracer have no own visual appearance (set the style to tsNone), and just connect other item positions to the tracer position (used as an anchor) via QCPItemPosition::setParentAnchor.

Note: The tracer position is only automatically updated upon redraws. So when the data of the graph changes and immediately afterwards (without a redraw) the a position coordinates of the tracer are retrieved, they will not reflect the updated data of the graph. In this case updatePosition must be called manually, prior to reading the tracer coordinates.

This function is used to decide whether a click hits a layerable object or not.

pos is a point in pixel coordinates on the QCustomPlot surface. This function returns the shortest pixel distance of this point to the object. If the object is either invisible or the distance couldn't be determined, -1.0 is returned. Further, if onlySelectable is true and the object is not selectable, -1.0 is returned, too.

If the item is represented not by single lines but by an area like QCPItemRect or QCPItemText, a click inside the area returns a constant value greater zero (typically the selectionTolerance of the parent QCustomPlot multiplied by 0.99). If the click lies outside the area, this function returns -1.0.

Providing a constant value for area objects allows selecting line objects even when they are obscured by such area objects, by clicking close to the lines (i.e. closer than 0.99*selectionTolerance).

The actual setting of the selection state is not done by this function. This is handled by the parent QCustomPlot when the mouseReleaseEvent occurs, and the finally selected object is notified via the selectEvent/deselectEvent methods.

details is an optional output parameter. Every layerable subclass may place any information in details. This information will be passed to selectEvent when the parent QCustomPlot decides on the basis of this selectTest call, that the object was successfully selected. The subsequent call to selectEvent will carry the details. This is useful for multi-part objects (like QCPAxis). This way, a possibly complex calculation to decide which part was clicked is only done once in selectTest. The result (i.e. the actually clicked part) can then be placed in details. So in the subsequent selectEvent, the decision which part was selected doesn't have to be done a second time for a single selection operation.

You may pass 0 as details to indicate that you are not interested in those selection details.

◆ setBrush()

void QCPItemTracer::setBrush ( const QBrush & brush )

Sets the brush that will be used to draw any fills of the tracer.

See also: setSelectedBrush, setPen

Definition at line 20877 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

◆ setGraph()

void QCPItemTracer::setGraph ( QCPGraph * graph )

Sets the QCPGraph this tracer sticks to.

The tracer position will be set to type QCPItemPosition::ptPlotCoords and the axes will be set to the axes of graph.

To free the tracer from any graph, set graph to 0. The tracer position can then be placed freely like any other item position. This is the state the tracer will assume when its graph gets deleted while still attached to it.

See also: setGraphKey

Definition at line 20922 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

◆ setGraphKey()

void QCPItemTracer::setGraphKey ( double key )

Sets the key of the graph's data point the tracer will be positioned at.

This is the only free coordinate of a tracer when attached to a graph.

Depending on setInterpolating, the tracer will be either positioned on the data point closest to key, or will stay exactly at key and interpolate the value linearly.

See also: setGraph, setInterpolating

Definition at line 20949 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

◆ setInterpolating()

void QCPItemTracer::setInterpolating ( bool enabled )

Sets whether the value of the graph's data points shall be interpolated, when positioning the tracer.

If enabled is set to false and a key is given with setGraphKey, the tracer is placed on the data point of the graph which is closest to the key, but which is not necessarily exactly there. If enabled is true, the tracer will be positioned exactly at the specified key, and the appropriate value will be interpolated from the graph's data points linearly.

See also: setGraph, setGraphKey

Definition at line 20965 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

◆ setPen()

void QCPItemTracer::setPen ( const QPen & pen )

Sets the pen that will be used to draw the line of the tracer.

See also: setSelectedPen, setBrush

Definition at line 20857 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

◆ setSelectedBrush()

void QCPItemTracer::setSelectedBrush ( const QBrush & brush )

Sets the brush that will be used to draw any fills of the tracer, when selected.

See also: setBrush, setSelected

Definition at line 20887 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

◆ setSelectedPen()

void QCPItemTracer::setSelectedPen ( const QPen & pen )

Sets the pen that will be used to draw the line of the tracer when selected.

See also: setPen, setSelected

Definition at line 20867 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

◆ setSize()

void QCPItemTracer::setSize ( double size )

Sets the size of the tracer in pixels, if the style supports setting a size (e.g.

tsSquare does, tsCrosshair does not).

Definition at line 20896 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

◆ setStyle()

void QCPItemTracer::setStyle ( QCPItemTracer::TracerStyle style )

Sets the style/visual appearance of the tracer.

If you only want to use the tracer position as an anchor for other items, set style to tsNone.

◆ updatePosition()

void QCPItemTracer::updatePosition ( )

If the tracer is connected with a graph (setGraph), this function updates the tracer's position to reside on the graph data, depending on the configured key (setGraphKey).

It is called automatically on every redraw and normally doesn't need to be called manually. One exception is when you want to read the tracer coordinates via position and are not sure that the graph's data (or the tracer key with setGraphKey) hasn't changed since the last redraw. In that situation, call this function before accessing position, to make sure you don't get out-of-date coordinates.

If there is no graph set on this tracer, this function does nothing.
