πŸ’– QwtCurveFitter(3) πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the Qwt User's Guide, section 3 β€” sit down, hydrate, and let's talk about QwtCurveFitter.


✨ NAME ✨

QwtCurveFitter β€” and that's it. that's the whole description. the manpage literally leaves it blank after the dash πŸ’€ iconic minimalism honestly, she said "my work speaks for itself" and dipped.


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

#include <qwt_curve_fitter.h>

Inherited by QwtSplineCurveFitter.

so like, QwtSplineCurveFitter is her daughter, her protégé, her main character successor 🫢


πŸ‘‘ Public Member Functions πŸ‘‘

  • virtual ~QwtCurveFitter () β€” the destructor, virtual so everyone gets properly cleaned up, no messy breakups πŸ’…
  • virtual QPolygonF fitCurve (const QPolygonF &polygon) const =0 β€” the big one. pure virtual, meaning you have to implement it, she's not doing it for you, bestie 🌸

πŸ”’ Protected Member Functions πŸ”’

  • QwtCurveFitter () β€” the constructor, protected, so nobody can just casually make one of her. she's abstract, she's mysterious, she's giving untouchable πŸ¦‹

πŸ’œ Detailed Description πŸ’œ

Abstract base class for a curve fitter.

that's the vibe. she's the blueprint, the template, the "you can't sit with us unless you inherit from us" energy. no cap, you don't instantiate her β€” you become her, through inheritance ✨


🧚 Member Function Documentation 🧚

virtual QPolygonF QwtCurveFitter::fitCurve (const QPolygonF &polygon) const

[pure virtual] β€” yes, the brackets are part of the lore. she's abstract, she's a promise, she's not implemented here.

Find a curve which has the best fit to a series of data points

like, take all your messy little points and find the glow-up curve that fits them best. it's giving matchmaker but for geometry πŸ’–

Parameters:

  • polygon β€” Series of data points. (your raw, unglamorous input πŸ“)

Returns:

  • Curve points. (the gorgeous fitted result ✨)

Implemented in QwtSplineCurveFitter.

so if you want to actually see this working, go knock on QwtSplineCurveFitter's door. she did the homework. she ate and left no crumbs πŸ”₯

no human author, no moodboard, no notes β€” just Doxygen doing her little autogenerated thing. we respect the process πŸ™ˆ


lowkey a warning: she's an abstract base class and fitCurve is pure virtual β€” you literally cannot instantiate QwtCurveFitter and you cannot call fitCurve on her directly. subclass her or go home, periodt πŸ’€

Version 5.2.3 β€” Tue Nov 20 2012

and that's the whole page bestie, mwah πŸ’‹ stay abstract, stay iconic, and remember: if it's pure virtual, it's not on you to implement it β€” it's on your subclass. slay πŸ‘‘πŸ’…πŸ¦‹
