## Detailed Description

A plot item, which displays a spectrogram.

A spectrogram displays 3-dimensional data, where the 3rd dimension ( the intensity ) is displayed using colors. The colors are calculated from the values using a color map.

On multi-core systems the performance of the image composition can often be improved by dividing the area into tiles - each of them rendered in a different thread ( see QwtPlotItem::setRenderThreadCount() ).

In ContourMode contour lines are painted for the contour levels.

  QwtRasterData, QwtColorMap, QwtPlotItem::setRenderThreadCount()

## Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QwtPlotSpectrogram::DisplayMode

The display mode controls how the raster data will be represented.

See Also
  setDisplayMode(), testDisplayMode()

Enumerator
ImageMode | The values are mapped to colors using a color map.
ContourMode | The data is displayed using contour lines.

QwtPlotSpectrogram::QwtPlotSpectrogram | ( | const QString & | title = `QString::null` | ) |
| explicit

Sets the following item attributes:

- QwtPlotItem::AutoScale: true
- QwtPlotItem::Legend: false

The z value is initialized by 8.0.

Returns
  Color Map used for mapping the intensity values to colors

See Also
  setColorMap()

QList< double > QwtPlotSpectrogram::contourLevels | ( |  | ) | const

Returns
  Levels of the contour lines.

The levels are sorted in increasing order.

See Also
  contourLevels(), renderContourLines(), QwtRasterData::contourLines()

QPen QwtPlotSpectrogram::contourPen | ( | double | level | ) | const
| virtual

Calculate the pen for a contour line.

The color of the pen is the color for level calculated by the color map

Parameters

QSize QwtPlotSpectrogram::contourRasterSize | ( | const QRectF & | area,

Return the raster to be used by the CONREC contour algorithm.

A larger size will improve the precision of the CONREC algorithm, but will slow down the time that is needed to calculate the lines.

The default implementation returns rect.size() / 2 bounded to the resolution depending on pixelSize().

Parameters

  area | Rectangle, where to calculate the contour lines
  rect | Rectangle in pixel coordinates, where to paint the contour lines

Returns
  Raster to be used by the CONREC contour algorithm.

Build and assign the default pen for the contour lines

  style | Pen style

See Also
  pen(), brush()

void QwtPlotSpectrogram::setDefaultContourPen | ( | const QPen & | pen | ) |

Set the default pen for the contour lines.

If the spectrogram has a valid default contour pen a contour line is painted using the default contour pen. Otherwise (pen.style() == Qt::NoPen) the pen is calculated for each contour level using contourPen().

See Also
  defaultContourPen(), contourPen()

void QwtPlotSpectrogram::setDisplayMode | ( | DisplayMode | mode,
|  | bool | on = `true`
| ) |  |

The display mode controls how the raster data will be represented.
