Thread: Change colour of specific item in Qwt Plot

    Default Change colour of specific item in Qwt Plot

    Hi All,

    I have developed a qwt that contains multiple QwtPlotShapeItems.

    Qt Code:
    1. //Run a function to get an array of polygons
    2. QVector<QPolygonF> polygonArray;
    3. createPolygonArray(lines, polygonArray, maxdistance);
    4.  
    5. //add each polygon in the polygon array to the qwt plot
    6. for (int j = 0; j < polygonArray.size(); j = j + 1)
    7. {
    8. QwtPlotShapeItem *shape = new QwtPlotShapeItem;
    9. shape->setPen(QColor(0,0,0), Qt::SolidLine);
    10. shape->setTitle("shapeNumber_" + QString::number(j));
    11. shape->setBrush(QColor(130,130,130,50));
    12. shape->setPolygon(polygonArray[j]);
    13. shape->attach(&myPlot);
    14. V.push_back(shape);
    15. }
    16. myPlot.replot();
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    I want to return to my plot at a later point in my code and loop through all the attached QwtPlotShapeItems, and if it's title matches what I looking for, then I want to change the colour of that shape. So for example:

    Qt Code:
    1. //.....later on in my code, in another function that the plot is passed into (by ref)
    2. for (int j = 0; j < myPlot.numberOfAttachedShapeItems(); j = j + 1)
    3. {
    4. if (myPlot.attachedShapeItem[j].Title() == "shapeNumber_7")
    5. {
    6. myPlot.attachedShapeItem[j].setBrush(QColor(0,0,0,255));
    7. }
    8. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Is this possible, or do I have to recreate my plot each time I want to change the color of a single shapeItem?

    Thank you!

    Changing the brush only is fine.

    I cant find how to change the fill colour of the plotitem. Could you see what I missing? Thank you for your help!

    Qt Code:
    1. QwtPlotItemList plotItemList = myPlot.itemList();
    2. for (int m = 0; m < plotItemList.size(); m = m + 1)
    3. {
    4. if(plotItemList[m]->title().text() == QString::fromStdString(desiredName[i]))
    5. {
    6. plotItemList[m]-> //??? there is no setBrush to use here....I would expect to write...setBrush(QColor(0,0,0,255));
    7. }
    8. else
    9. {
    10. plotItemList[m]-> //??? there is no setBrush to use here....I would expect to write...setBrush(QColor(130,130,130,50));
    11. }
    12. }

    I managed to work out how to do it Here is what I did (I found some code online that had your name on it which guided me to the right solution).

    Qt Code:
    1. QwtPlotItemList plotItemList = myPlot.itemList(QwtPlotItem::Rtti_PlotShape /*added this*/);
    2. for (int m = 0; m < plotItemList.size(); m = m + 1)
    3. {
    4. QwtPlotShapeItem *shape = static_cast<QwtPlotShapeItem *>( plotItemList[m] ); //added this line
    5.  
    6. if(plotItemList[m]->title().text() == QString::fromStdString(desiredName[i]))
    7. {
    8. shape->setBrush(QColor(0,0,0,255)); //now can set brush to the shape directly
    9. }
    10. else
    11. {
    12. shape->setBrush(QColor(130,130,130,50)); //now can set brush to the shape directly
    13. }
    14. }
