  void QwtCompass::drawRose (QPainter * painter, const QPoint & center, int radius, double north, QPalette::ColorGroup cg) const [protected, virtual] Draw the compass rose

Parameters:
    painter Painter
    center Center of the compass
    radius of the circle, where to paint the rose
    north Direction pointing north, in degrees counter clockwise
    cg Color group

  void QwtCompass::drawScaleContents (QPainter * painter, const QPoint & center, int radius) const [protected, virtual] Draw the contents of the scale

    isReadOnly()

Reimplemented from QwtDial.

  QMap< double, QString > & QwtCompass::labelMap () Returns:
    map, mapping values to labels

See also:
    setLabelMap()

  const QMap< double, QString > & QwtCompass::labelMap () const Returns:
    map, mapping values to labels

See also:
    setLabelMap()

  QwtCompassRose * QwtCompass::rose () Returns:
    rose

See also:
    setRose()

  const QwtCompassRose * QwtCompass::rose () const Returns:
    rose

See also:
    setRose()

  QwtText QwtCompass::scaleLabel (double value) const [protected, virtual] Map a value to a corresponding label

Parameters:
    value Value that will be mapped

Returns:
    Label, or QString::null

label() looks in a map for a corresponding label for value or return an null text.

    labelMap(), setLabelMap()

Reimplemented from QwtDial.

  void QwtCompass::setLabelMap (const QMap< double, QString > & map)

Set a map, mapping values to labels. Parameters:
    map value to label map

The values of the major ticks are found by looking into this map. The default map consists of the labels N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW.

Warning:
    The map will have no effect for values that are no major tick values. Major ticks can be changed by QwtScaleDraw::setScale

    labelMap(), scaleDraw(), setScale()

  void QwtCompass::setRose (QwtCompassRose * rose) Set a rose for the compass

Parameters:
    rose Compass rose

Warning:
    The rose will be deleted, when a different rose is set or in ~QwtCompass
