## Detailed Description

The Counter Widget.

A Counter consists of a label displaying a number and one ore more (up to three) push buttons on each side of the label which can be used to increment or decrement the counter's value.

A counter has a range from a minimum value to a maximum value and a step size. When the wrapping property is set the counter is circular.

The number of steps by which a button increments or decrements the value can be specified using setIncSteps(). The number of buttons can be changed with setNumButtons().

Example:

#include <qwt_counter.h>
QwtCounter *counter = new QwtCounter(parent);
counter->setRange(0.0, 100.0); // From 0.0 to 100
counter->setSingleStep( 1.0 ); // Step size 1.0
counter->setNumButtons(2); // Two buttons each side
counter->setIncSteps(QwtCounter::Button1, 1); // Button 1 increments 1 step
counter->setIncSteps(QwtCounter::Button2, 20); // Button 2 increments 20 steps
connect(counter, SIGNAL(valueChanged(double)), myClass, SLOT(newValue(double)));

## Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QwtCounter::Button

Button index.

Enumerator
Button1 | Button intended for minor steps.
Button2 | Button intended for medium steps.
Button3 | Button intended for large steps.
ButtonCnt | Number of buttons.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QwtCounter::QwtCounter | ( | QWidget * | parent = `NULL` | ) |
| explicit

The counter is initialized with a range is set to [0.0, 1.0] with 0.01 as single step size. The value is invalid.

The default number of buttons is set to 2. The default increments are:

- Button 1: 1 step
- Button 2: 10 steps
- Button 3: 100 steps

Parameters

  parent |

Parameters

  event | Key event

double QwtCounter::maximum | ( |  | ) | const

Returns
  The maximum of the range

See also
  setRange(), setMaximum(), minimum()

double QwtCounter::minimum | ( |  | ) | const

Returns
  The minimum of the range

See also
  setRange(), setMinimum(), maximum()

int QwtCounter::numButtons | ( |  | ) | const

Returns
  The number of buttons on each side of the widget.

See also
  setNumButtons()

void QwtCounter::setIncSteps | ( | QwtCounter::Button | button,
|  | int | numSteps
| ) |  |

Specify the number of steps by which the value is incremented or decremented when a specified button is pushed.

Parameters

  button | Button index
  numSteps | Number of steps

See also
  incSteps()

void QwtCounter::setMaximum | ( | double | value | ) |

Set the maximum value of the range

Parameters

  value | Maximum value

See also
  setRange(), setMinimum(), maximum()

void QwtCounter::setMinimum | ( | double | value | ) |

Set the minimum value of the range

Parameters
