## Detailed Description

QwtLinearColorMap builds a color map from color stops.

A color stop is a color at a specific position. The valid range for the positions is [0.0, 1.0]. When mapping a value into a color it is translated into this interval according to mode().

## Member Enumeration Documentation

## ◆ Mode

enum QwtLinearColorMap::Mode

Mode of color map

See also
  setMode(), mode()

Enumerator
FixedColors | Return the color from the next lower color stop.
ScaledColors | Interpolating the colors of the adjacent stops.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ QwtLinearColorMap() [1/2]

QwtLinearColorMap::QwtLinearColorMap | ( | QwtColorMap::Format | format = `QwtColorMap::RGB` | ) |

Build a color map with two stops at 0.0 and 1.0. The color at 0.0 is Qt::blue, at 1.0 it is Qt::yellow.

Parameters

  format | Preferred format of the color map

## ◆ QwtLinearColorMap() [2/2]

QwtLinearColorMap::QwtLinearColorMap | ( | const QColor & | color1,
|  | const QColor & | color2,
|  | QwtColorMap::Format | format = `QwtColorMap::RGB`
| ) |  |

Build a color map with two stops at 0.0 and 1.0.

Parameters

  color1 | Color used for the minimum value of the value interval
  color2 | Color used for the maximum value of the value interval
  format | Preferred format for the color map

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ addColorStop()

void QwtLinearColorMap::addColorStop | ( | double | value,
|  | const QColor & | color
| ) |  |

Add a color stop

The value has to be in the range [0.0, 1.0]. F.e. a stop at position 17.0 for a range [10.0,20.0] must be passed as: (17.0 - 10.0) / (20.0 - 10.0)

Parameters

  value | Value between [0.0, 1.0]
  color | Color stop

## ◆ color1()

QColor QwtLinearColorMap::color1 | ( |  | ) | const

Returns
  the first color of the color range

See also
  setColorInterval()

## ◆ color2()

QColor QwtLinearColorMap::color2 | ( |  | ) | const

Returns
  the second color of the color range

See also
  setColorInterval()

## ◆ colorIndex()

unsigned char QwtLinearColorMap::colorIndex | ( | const QwtInterval & | interval,
|  | double | value
| ) |  | const
| virtual

Map a value of a given interval into a color index.

Parameters

  interval | Range for all values
  value | Value to map into a color index

Returns
  Index, between 0 and 255

Implements QwtColorMap.

## ◆ colorStops()

QVector< double > QwtLinearColorMap::colorStops | ( |  | ) | const

Returns
  Positions of color stops in increasing order

## ◆ mode()

QwtLinearColorMap::Mode QwtLinearColorMap::mode | ( |  | ) | const

Returns
  Mode of the color map

See also
  setMode()

## ◆ rgb()

QRgb QwtLinearColorMap::rgb | ( | const QwtInterval & | interval,
|  | double | value
| ) |  | const
| virtual

Map a value of a given interval into a RGB value

Parameters

  interval | Range for all values
  value | Value to map into a RGB value

Returns
  RGB value for value

Implements QwtColorMap.

## ◆ setColorInterval()

void QwtLinearColorMap::setColorInterval | ( | const QColor & | color1,
|  | const QColor & | color2
| ) |  |

Set the color range

Add stops at 0.0 and 1.0.

Parameters

  color1 | Color used for the minimum value of the value interval
  color2 | Color used for the maximum value of the value interval

See also
  color1(), color2()

## ◆ setMode()

void QwtLinearColorMap::setMode | ( | Mode | mode | ) |

Set the mode of the color map.

FixedColors means the color is calculated from the next lower color stop. ScaledColors means the color is calculated by interpolating the colors of the adjacent stops.
