## Detailed Description

The Wheel Widget.

The wheel widget can be used to change values over a very large range in very small steps. Using the setMass() member, it can be configured as a flying wheel.

The default range of the wheel is [0.0, 100.0]

  singleStep(), setPageStepCount()

## ◆ setStepAlignment()

void QwtWheel::setStepAlignment | ( | bool | on | ) |

En/Disable step alignment.

When step alignment is enabled value changes initiated by user input ( mouse, keyboard, wheel ) are aligned to the multiples of the single step.

## ◆ setTickCount()

void QwtWheel::setTickCount | ( | int | count | ) |

Adjust the number of grooves in the wheel's surface.

One full turn of the wheel corresponds to an angle of 360 degrees. A total angle of n*360 degrees means that the wheel has to be turned n times around its axis to get from the minimum value to the maximum value.

The default setting of the total angle is 360 degrees.

Parameters

  angle | total angle in degrees

See also
  totalAngle()

## ◆ setTracking()

void QwtWheel::setTracking | ( | bool | enable | ) |
