Detailed Description

The abstract base class for all objects that form the layout system.

This is an abstract base class. As such, it can't be instantiated directly, rather use one of its subclasses.

A Layout element is a rectangular object which can be placed in layouts. It has an outer rect (QCPLayoutElement::outerRect) and an inner rect (QCPLayoutElement::rect). The difference between outer and inner rect is called its margin. The margin can either be set to automatic or manual (setAutoMargins) on a per-side basis. If a side is set to manual, that margin can be set explicitly with setMargins and will stay fixed at that value. If it's set to automatic, the layout element subclass will control the value itself (via calculateAutoMargin).

Layout elements can be placed in layouts (base class QCPLayout) like QCPLayoutGrid. The top level layout is reachable via QCustomPlot::plotLayout, and is a QCPLayoutGrid. Since QCPLayout itself derives from QCPLayoutElement, layouts can be nested.

Thus in QCustomPlot one can divide layout elements into two categories: The ones that are invisible by themselves, because they don't draw anything. Their only purpose is to manage the position and size of other layout elements. This category of layout elements usually use QCPLayout as base class. Then there is the category of layout elements which actually draw something. For example, QCPAxisRect, QCPLegend and QCPPlotTitle are of this category. This does not necessarily mean that the latter category can't have child layout elements. QCPLegend for instance, actually derives from QCPLayoutGrid and the individual legend items are child layout elements in the grid layout.

protectedvirtual

Reimplemented in QCPLegend.

Definition at line 2155 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

◆ rect()

QRect QCPLayoutElement::rect ( ) const

inline

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.

Definition at line 656 of file qcustomplot.h.

◆ selectTest()

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

virtual

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, QCPAbstractLegendItem, QCPLegend, and QCPPlotTitle.

Definition at line 2130 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

◆ setAutoMargins()

void QCPLayoutElement::setAutoMargins ( QCP::MarginSides sides )

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

Definition at line 1948 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

◆ setMarginGroup()

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

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).

Definition at line 2015 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

◆ setMargins()

void QCPLayoutElement::setMargins ( const QMargins & margins )

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

Definition at line 1912 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

◆ setMaximumSize() [1/2]

void QCPLayoutElement::setMaximumSize ( const QSize & size )

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.

Definition at line 1985 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

◆ setMaximumSize() [2/2]

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

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.Sets the maximum size for the inner rect of this layout element.

Definition at line 1999 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

◆ setMinimumMargins()

void QCPLayoutElement::setMinimumMargins ( const QMargins & margins )

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

Definition at line 1930 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

◆ setMinimumSize() [1/2]

void QCPLayoutElement::setMinimumSize ( const QSize & size )

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.

Definition at line 1962 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

◆ setMinimumSize() [2/2]

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

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.Sets the minimum size for the inner rect of this layout element.

Definition at line 1976 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

◆ setOuterRect()

void QCPLayoutElement::setOuterRect ( const QRect & rect )

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

Definition at line 1892 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

◆ update()

void QCPLayoutElement::update ( UpdatePhase phase )

virtual

Updates the layout element and sub-elements.

This function is automatically called before every replot by the parent layout element. It is called multiple times, once for every UpdatePhase. The phases are run through in the order of the enum values. For details about what happens at the different phases, see the documentation of UpdatePhase.

Layout elements that have child elements should call the update method of their child elements, and pass the current phase unchanged.

The default implementation executes the automatic margin mechanism in the upMargins phase. Subclasses should make sure to call the base class implementation.

Reimplemented in QCPLayout, QCPAxisRect, QCPColorScaleAxisRectPrivate, and QCPColorScale.

Definition at line 2056 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

◆ wheelEvent()

void QCPLayoutElement::wheelEvent ( QWheelEvent * event )

inlineprotectedvirtual

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

Reimplemented in QCPAxisRect, QCPColorScaleAxisRectPrivate, and QCPColorScale.
