Provides rect/rubber-band data selection and range zoom interaction.
QCPSelectionRect is used by QCustomPlot when the QCustomPlot::setSelectionRectMode is not QCP::srmNone. When the user drags the mouse across the plot, the current selection rect instance (QCustomPlot::setSelectionRect) is forwarded these events and makes sure an according rect shape is drawn. At the begin, during, and after completion of the interaction, it emits the corresponding signals started, changed, canceled, and accepted.
The QCustomPlot instance connects own slots to the current selection rect instance, in order to react to an accepted selection rect interaction accordingly.
isActive can be used to check whether the selection rect is currently active. An ongoing selection interaction can be cancelled programmatically via calling cancel at any time.
The appearance of the selection rect can be controlled via setPen and setBrush.
If you wish to provide custom behaviour, e.g. a different visual representation of the selection rect (QCPSelectionRect::draw), you can subclass QCPSelectionRect and pass an instance of your subclass to QCustomPlot::setSelectionRect.
Creates a new QCPSelectionRect instance. To make QCustomPlot use the selection rect instance, pass it to QCustomPlot::setSelectionRect. parentPlot should be set to the same QCustomPlot widget.
A convenience function which returns the coordinate range of the provided axis, that this selection rect currently encompasses.
Returns true if there is currently a selection going on, i.e. the user has started dragging a selection rect, but hasn't released the mouse button yet.
Sets the pen that will be used to draw the selection rect outline.
Sets the brush that will be used to fill the selection rect. By default the selection rect is not filled, i.e. brush is Qt::NoBrush.
This signal is emitted when a selection rect interaction was initiated, i.e. the user just started dragging the selection rect with the mouse.
This signal is emitted while the selection rect interaction is ongoing and the rect has changed its size due to the user moving the mouse.
Note that rect may have a negative width or height, if the selection is being dragged to the upper or left side of the selection rect origin.
This signal is emitted when the selection interaction was cancelled. Note that event is nullptr if the selection interaction was cancelled programmatically, by a call to cancel.
The user may cancel the selection interaction by pressing the escape key. In this case, event holds the respective input event.
Note that rect may have a negative width or height, if the selection is being dragged to the upper or left side of the selection rect origin.
This signal is emitted when the selection interaction was completed by the user releasing the mouse button.
Note that rect may have a negative width or height, if the selection is being dragged to the upper or left side of the selection rect origin.
This method is called by QCustomPlot to indicate that a selection rect interaction was initiated. The default implementation sets the selection rect to active, initializes the selection rect geometry and emits the started signal.
This method is called by QCustomPlot to indicate that an ongoing selection rect interaction needs to update its geometry. The default implementation updates the rect and emits the changed signal.
This method is called by QCustomPlot to indicate that an ongoing selection rect interaction has finished by the user releasing the mouse button. The default implementation deactivates the selection rect and emits the accepted signal.
This method is called by QCustomPlot when a key has been pressed by the user while the selection rect interaction is active. The default implementation allows to cancel the interaction by hitting the escape key.
This function applies the default antialiasing setting to the specified painter, using the function applyAntialiasingHint. It is the antialiasing state the painter is put in, when draw is called on the layerable. If the layerable has multiple entities whose antialiasing setting may be specified individually, this function should set the antialiasing state of the most prominent entity. In this case however, the draw function usually calls the specialized versions of this function before drawing each entity, effectively overriding the setting of the default antialiasing hint.
First example: QCPGraph has multiple entities that have an antialiasing setting: The graph line, fills and scatters. Those can be configured via QCPGraph::setAntialiased, QCPGraph::setAntialiasedFill and QCPGraph::setAntialiasedScatters. Consequently, there isn't only the QCPGraph::applyDefaultAntialiasingHint function (which corresponds to the graph line's antialiasing), but specialized ones like QCPGraph::applyFillAntialiasingHint and QCPGraph::applyScattersAntialiasingHint. So before drawing one of those entities, QCPGraph::draw calls the respective specialized applyAntialiasingHint function.
Second example: QCPItemLine consists only of a line so there is only one antialiasing setting which can be controlled with QCPItemLine::setAntialiased. (This function is inherited by all layerables. The specialized functions, as seen on QCPGraph, must be added explicitly to the respective layerable subclass.) Consequently it only has the normal QCPItemLine::applyDefaultAntialiasingHint. The QCPItemLine::draw function doesn't need to care about setting any antialiasing states, because the default antialiasing hint is already set on the painter when the draw function is called, and that's the state it wants to draw the line with.
Implements QCPLayerable.
If the selection rect is active (isActive), draws the selection rect defined by mRect.
