💖 Detailed Description 💖

An abstract base class for slider widgets. main character energy, but make it inheritance.

QwtAbstractSlider is a base class for slider widgets. It handles mouse events and updates the slider's value accordingly. Derived classes only have to implement the getValue() and getScrollMode() members, and should react to a valueChange(), which normally requires repainting. that's the whole deal, and honestly? iconic.

👑 Member Function Documentation 👑

void QwtAbstractSlider::fitValue (doublevalue) [virtual], [slot]

Set the slider's value to the nearest integer multiple of the step size. snap snap snap 💅

Parameters:

• value — Value

See also:

• setValue(), incValue()

Reimplemented from QwtDoubleRange.

virtual void QwtAbstractSlider::getScrollMode (const QPoint &p, int &scrollMode, int &direction) [protected], [pure virtual]

Determine what to do when the user presses a mouse button. This function is abstract and has to be implemented by derived classes. It is called on a mousePress event. The derived class can determine what should happen next in dependence of the position where the mouse was pressed by returning scrolling mode and direction. QwtAbstractSlider knows the following modes:

• QwtAbstractSlider::ScrNone — Scrolling switched off. Don't change the value.
• QwtAbstractSlider::ScrMouse — Change the value while the user keeps the button pressed and moves the mouse.
• QwtAbstractSlider::ScrTimer — Automatic scrolling. Increment the value in the specified direction as long as the user keeps the button pressed.
• QwtAbstractSlider::ScrPage — Automatic scrolling. Same as ScrTimer, but increment by page size.

Parameters:

• p — point where the mouse was pressed

Return values:

• scrollMode — The scrolling mode
• direction — direction: 1, 0, or -1.

Implemented in QwtDial, QwtSlider, and QwtWheel.

virtual double QwtAbstractSlider::getValue (const QPoint &p) [protected], [pure virtual]

Determine the value corresponding to a specified poind. This is an abstract virtual function which is called when the user presses or releases a mouse button or moves the mouse. It has to be implemented by the derived class. you're the one who knows what that point means, bestie, not this class

Parameters:

• p — point

Implemented in QwtDial, QwtSlider, and QwtWheel.

void QwtAbstractSlider::incValue (intsteps) [virtual], [slot]

Increment the value by a specified number of steps. Parameters:

• steps — number of steps

See also:

• setValue()

Reimplemented from QwtDoubleRange.

bool QwtAbstractSlider::isReadOnly () const

In read only mode the slider can't be controlled by mouse or keyboard. it's giving "look but don't touch"

Returns:

• true if read only

See also:

• setReadOnly()

bool QwtAbstractSlider::isValid () const [inline]

See also:

• QwtDblRange::isValid()

Reimplemented from QwtDoubleRange.

void QwtAbstractSlider::keyPressEvent (QKeyEvent *e) [protected], [virtual]

Handles key events ⌨️

• Key_Down, KeyLeft — Decrement by 1
• Key_Up, Key_Right — Increment by 1

Parameters:

• e — Key event

See also:

• isReadOnly()

Reimplemented in QwtDial, and QwtCompass.

double QwtAbstractSlider::mass () const [virtual]

Returns:

• mass

See also:

• setMass()

Reimplemented in QwtWheel.

void QwtAbstractSlider::mouseMoveEvent (QMouseEvent *e) [protected], [virtual]

Mouse Move Event handler 🖱️

Parameters:

• e — Mouse event

void QwtAbstractSlider::mousePressEvent (QMouseEvent *e) [protected], [virtual]

Mouse press event handler

Parameters:

• e — Mouse event

void QwtAbstractSlider::mouseReleaseEvent (QMouseEvent *e) [protected], [virtual]

Mouse Release Event handler

Parameters:

• e — Mouse event

Qt::Orientation QwtAbstractSlider::orientation () const

Returns:

• Orientation

See also:

• setOrientation()

void QwtAbstractSlider::setMass (doubleval) [virtual]

Set the slider's mass for flywheel effect. If the slider's mass is greater then 0, it will continue to move after the mouse button has been released. Its speed decreases with time at a rate depending on the slider's mass. A large mass means that it will continue to move for a long time. physics? in MY slider widget? apparently yes and it's kinda hot

Derived widgets may overload this function to make it public.

Parameters:

• val — New mass in kg

See also:

• mass()

Reimplemented in QwtWheel.

void QwtAbstractSlider::setOrientation (Qt::Orientationo) [virtual]

Set the orientation. Parameters:

• o — Orientation. Allowed values are Qt::Horizontal and Qt::Vertical.

Reimplemented in QwtSlider, and QwtWheel.

void QwtAbstractSlider::setPosition (const QPoint &p) [protected], [virtual]

Move the slider to a specified point, adjust the value and emit signals if necessary.

void QwtAbstractSlider::setReadOnly (boolreadOnly) [virtual], [slot]

En/Disable read only mode 🔒

In read only mode the slider can't be controlled by mouse or keyboard.

Parameters:

• readOnly — Enables in case of true

See also:

• isReadOnly()

void QwtAbstractSlider::setTracking (boolenable)

Enables or disables tracking. If tracking is enabled, the slider emits a valueChanged() signal whenever its value changes (the default behaviour). If tracking is disabled, the value changed() signal will only be emitted if:

• the user releases the mouse button and the value has changed or
• at the end of automatic scrolling.

Tracking is enabled by default. Parameters:

• enable — true (enable) or false (disable) tracking.

void QwtAbstractSlider::setUpdateTime (intt)

Specify the update interval for automatic scrolling. Parameters:

• t — update interval in milliseconds

See also:

• getScrollMode()

void QwtAbstractSlider::setValid (boolvalid) [inline]

Parameters:

• valid — true/false

See also:

• QwtDblRange::isValid()

Reimplemented from QwtDoubleRange.

void QwtAbstractSlider::setValue (doubleval) [virtual], [slot]

Move the slider to a specified value. This function can be used to move the slider to a value which is not an integer multiple of the step size. no rounding, we're going freestyle

Parameters:

• val — new value

See also:

• fitValue()

Reimplemented from QwtDoubleRange.

void QwtAbstractSlider::sliderMoved (doublevalue) [signal]

This signal is emitted when the user moves the slider with the mouse. 📣

Parameters:

• value — new value

void QwtAbstractSlider::sliderPressed () [signal]

This signal is emitted when the user presses the movable part of the slider (start ScrMouse Mode).

void QwtAbstractSlider::sliderReleased () [signal]

This signal is emitted when the user releases the movable part of the slider.

void QwtAbstractSlider::timerEvent (QTimerEvent *e) [protected], [virtual]

Qt timer event ⏰

Parameters:

• e — Timer event

void QwtAbstractSlider::valueChange () [protected], [virtual]

Notify change of value 📢

This function can be reimplemented by derived classes in order to keep track of changes, i.e. repaint the widget. The default implementation emits a valueChanged() signal if tracking is enabled.

Reimplemented from QwtDoubleRange.

Reimplemented in QwtDial, QwtSlider, and QwtWheel.

void QwtAbstractSlider::valueChanged (doublevalue) [signal]

Notify a change of value. In the default setting (tracking enabled), this signal will be emitted every time the value changes ( see setTracking() ).

Parameters:

• value — new value

void QwtAbstractSlider::wheelEvent (QWheelEvent *e) [protected], [virtual]

Wheel Event handler 🎡

Parameters:

• e — Whell event

okay that's the whole page, you ate that fr fr 💖 no cap, every flag, signal, slot and enum survived the vibe check 🌈

and that's a wrap on Version 5.2.3, dated Tue Nov 20 2012 — go forth and subclass responsibly, bestie 🫶✨
