Event handling after release of QwtPlotZoomer.

[Uwe]

In general it might be wrong to connect to mouse event, as the zoomer also works with key events.
So the answer depends on what exactly you want to do.

I have to set QwtPlotMarker value.
I have some lines(Marker) on the the plot, but due to zoom they get hidden behind the widget, so I just want to set it within the widget in that event.

And Yes I have tried to connect with SIGNAL(zoomed),

class PlotZoomer: public QwtPlotZoomer
{
public:
 
    PlotZoomer(int xAxis, int yAxis, QWidget *canvas):
        QwtPlotZoomer(xAxis, yAxis, canvas)
    {
        //setTrackerMode(QwtPicker::ActiveOnly);
        setRubberBand(QwtPicker::RectRubberBand);
 
        // RightButton: zoom out by 1
        // Ctrl+RightButton: zoom out to full size
        setMousePattern(QwtEventPattern::MouseSelect2,Qt::LeftButton, Qt::ControlModifier);
        setMousePattern(QwtEventPattern::MouseSelect3,Qt::RightButton);
        //setZoomBase(true);
    }
};

class PlotZoomer: public QwtPlotZoomer
{
public:

    PlotZoomer(int xAxis, int yAxis, QWidget *canvas):
        QwtPlotZoomer(xAxis, yAxis, canvas)
    {
        //setTrackerMode(QwtPicker::ActiveOnly);
        setRubberBand(QwtPicker::RectRubberBand);

        // RightButton: zoom out by 1
        // Ctrl+RightButton: zoom out to full size
        setMousePattern(QwtEventPattern::MouseSelect2,Qt::LeftButton, Qt::ControlModifier);
        setMousePattern(QwtEventPattern::MouseSelect3,Qt::RightButton);
        //setZoomBase(true);
    }
};

connect(m_zoomP, SIGNAL(zoomed(const QRectF &rect)), SLOT(zoomed(const QRectF &rect)));

But unable to connect, got error like below,

err_method_notfound(2304)[13984]: QObject::connect: No such signal QwtPlotZoomer::zoomed(const QRectF &rect)

[Uwe]

I already gave you an explicit answer on how to handle changes of the scales. This question looks like just another version of the same question.

Uwe

I'm not asking about how to handle the changes on scale but I want to know which signal get invoked on zooming using QwtPlotZoomer.
As I know I can use zoomed signal, but in my case the signal not connecting its showing some error as mentioned already.
I dont understand why signal is unable to connect ?

[Uwe]

I'm not asking about how to handle the changes on scale but I want to know which signal get invoked on zooming ...

The zoomer does nothing else than changing the scales ...

Uwe

[npatil15]

Okay, so it doesnt invoke any signal after zooming or during zooming ?
Or else is their any possibility that I can invoke signal manually after zooming ?

I'm not sure, but when I checked "qwt_plot_zoomer.h", it shows signal zoomed. So you mean it doesn't work here ?

class QWT_EXPORT QwtPlotZoomer: public QwtPlotPicker
{
    Q_OBJECT
Q_SIGNALS:
    /*!
      A signal emitting the zoomRect(), when the plot has been
      zoomed in or out.
 
      \param rect Current zoom rectangle.
    */
 
    void zoomed( const QRectF &rect );
}

class QWT_EXPORT QwtPlotZoomer: public QwtPlotPicker
{
    Q_OBJECT
Q_SIGNALS:
    /*!
      A signal emitting the zoomRect(), when the plot has been
      zoomed in or out.

      \param rect Current zoom rectangle.
    */

    void zoomed( const QRectF &rect );
}

I mean, that you try to solve a problem that is related to scale changes, where zooming is one reason for those to happen. So don't spend any time on handling zooming in a specific way, when you have a solution, that covers all situations.

Uwe

[npatil15]

I'm not handling zooming in the specif way. Thats okay how it works. But after zooming their is something on my plot that gets hidden.
Actually what happens, after zooming on, plot get zoomed, that's okay for me, but here I already have some QwtPlotMarker(Lines(Horizontal and vertical)) on the plot which are sets on some specific position(based on pixel of widget) and when I zoom on plot the lines get hidden behind the plot. So If I know that zoom has done, then I can again set this line within the widget.

Yes I can get this lines back by just scroll again(as I have scroll event in that I can set the line as per the widget pixel area). So like that after zoom I want to set this line within the widget, so that lines always on the plot.

[Uwe]

So If I know that zoom has done, then I can again set this line within the widget.

The markers disappear, when their position gets outside the boundaries of the scales. So you have to adjust their positions according to scale changes.
This solves the problem in a general way - not only, when scale changes happen because of zooming.

I already gave you all the details in https://www.qtcentre.org/threads/699...-QwtPlotMarker. If there is something unclear please continue in this thread, but don't expect any further responses to this one until you have explained why you can't follow my advice.

Thanks, I got what you want to say,
I have tried with your solution

connect(m_plot->axisWidget(QwtPlot::xBottom), &QwtScaleWidget::scaleDivChanged, this, &OscilloscopeWidget::scaleChanged);

connect(m_plot->axisWidget(QwtPlot::xBottom), &QwtScaleWidget::scaleDivChanged, this, &OscilloscopeWidget::scaleChanged);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

void OscilloscopeWidget::scaleChanged()
{
    qDebug()<<"Scale Changed";
}

void OscilloscopeWidget::scaleChanged()
{
    qDebug()<<"Scale Changed";
}

But getting this error below, Where is the mistake ?

oscilloscopewidget.obj:-1: error: LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: static struct QMetaObject const QwtScaleWidget::staticMetaObject" (?staticMetaObject@QwtScaleWidget@@2UQMetaObject@@ B) referenced in function "public: static class QMetaObject::Connection __cdecl QObject::connect<void (__cdecl QwtScaleWidget::*)(void),void (__cdecl OscilloscopeWidget::*)(void)>(class QwtScaleWidget const *,void (__cdecl QwtScaleWidget::*)(void),class OscilloscopeWidget const *,void (__cdecl OscilloscopeWidget::*)(void),enum Qt::ConnectionType)" (??$connect@P8QwtScaleWidget@@EAAXXZP8Oscilloscope Widget@@EAAXXZ@QObject@@SA?AVConnection@QMetaObjec t@@PEBVQwtScaleWidget@@P83@EAAXXZPEBVOscilloscopeW idget@@P84@EAAXXZW4ConnectionType@Qt@@@Z)

[Uwe]

I have tried with your solution

The second option from my resonse, that derives from QwtPlotMarker should be the better one.

IBut getting this error below, Where is the mistake ?

This is a linker error, that depends on what you are linking and how those objects have been build.
The reason for this should be the same as the one that is responsible for the missing zoomed symbol.

Uwe

Okay,
The 2nd solution works perfectly for me, without error.
For the reference, mentioned the solution here,

class YourMarker: public QwtPlotMarker
    {
    public:
        YourMarker( ... )
        {
            setItemAttribute( QwtPlotItem::ScaleInterest, true );
        }
 
        void updateScaleDiv( const QwtScaleDiv& xMap, const QwtScaleDiv& ) override
        {
            const double margin = ...; // pixels
 
            const double min = xMap.invTransform( xMap.p1() + margin );
            const double max = xMap.invTransform( xMap.p2() - margin );
 
            setXValue( qBound( min, xValue(), max ) );
        }
    };

class YourMarker: public QwtPlotMarker
    {
    public:
        YourMarker( ... )
        {
            setItemAttribute( QwtPlotItem::ScaleInterest, true );
        }
     
        void updateScaleDiv( const QwtScaleDiv& xMap, const QwtScaleDiv& ) override
        {
            const double margin = ...; // pixels
     
            const double min = xMap.invTransform( xMap.p1() + margin );
            const double max = xMap.invTransform( xMap.p2() - margin );
     
            setXValue( qBound( min, xValue(), max ) );
        }
    };
