void QwtDoubleRange::setPeriodic | ( | bool | tf | ) | `[inherited]`

Make the range periodic.

When the range is periodic, the value will be set to a point inside the interval such that

    point = value + n * width

if the user tries to set a new value which is outside the range. If the range is nonperiodic (the default), values outside the range will be clipped.

Parameters:

  tf | true for a periodic range

void QwtAbstractSlider::setPosition | ( | const QPoint & | p | ) | `[protected, virtual, inherited]`

Move the slider to a specified point, adjust the value and emit signals if necessary.

void QwtDoubleRange::setRange | ( | double | vmin,
|  | double | vmax,
|  | double | vstep = `0.0`,
|  | int | pageSize = `1`
| ) |  | `[inherited]`

Specify range and step size.

Parameters:

  vmin | lower boundary of the interval
  vmax | higher boundary of the interval
  vstep | step width
  pageSize | page size in steps

Warning:
  - A change of the range changes the value if it lies outside the new range. The current value will *not* be adjusted to the new step raster.
  - vmax < vmin is allowed.
  - If the step size is left out or set to zero, it will be set to 1/100 of the interval length.
  - If the step size has an absurd value, it will be corrected to a better one.

void QwtAbstractSlider::setReadOnly | ( | bool | readOnly | ) | `[virtual, slot, inherited]`

En/Disable read only mode

In read only mode the slider can't be controlled by mouse or keyboard.

Parameters:

See also:
  isReadOnly()

void QwtDoubleRange::setStep | ( | double | vstep | ) | `[inherited]`

Change the step raster.

Parameters:

Warning:
  The value will not be adjusted to the new step raster.

Reimplemented in QwtCounter.

void QwtWheel::setTickCnt | ( | int | cnt | ) |

The number of grooves is limited to 6 <= cnt <= 50. Values outside this range will be clipped. The default value is 10.

Parameters:

  cnt | Number of grooves per 360 degrees

See also:
  tickCnt()

void QwtWheel::setTotalAngle | ( | double | angle | ) | `[slot]`

Set the total angle which the wheel can be turned.

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()

void QwtAbstractSlider::setTracking | ( | bool | enable | ) | `[inherited]`

If tracking is enabled, the slider emits a valueChanged() signal whenever its value changes (the default behaviour). If tracking is disabled, the value changed() signal will only be emitted if:

- the user releases the mouse button and the value has changed or
- at the end of automatic scrolling.

Tracking is enabled by default.

Parameters:

  enable | `true` (enable) or `false` (disable) tracking.

  viewAngle(), setTotalAngle()

void QwtWheel::setWheelBorderWidth | ( | int | borderWidth | ) |
