Detailed Description

Standard colorMap.

The WStandardColorMap is defined by a list of value-to-color pairs. The WStandardColorMap has two modes: a continuous mode, in which the colors are linearly interpolated in between the pair values, and a non-continuous mode, where the values are not interpolated, so that the colormap has a banded effect. In non-continuous mode, the color of a given point P is the color of the pair with the largest value smaller than P.

Numerical values above the maximum value in the list map to the maximum value's color, all values below the minimum value in the list map to the minimum value's color. The range indicated by the minimum and maximum passed to the constructor determines which part of the colormap is drawn by createStrip() or paintLegend().

The figure below illustrates the possible colormaps that can be constructed from the list {"0.0 - StandardColor::DarkRed", "1.0 - StandardColor::Red", "2.0 - StandardColor::Gray"}. The discrete map (on the left) has the range [0, 3], the continuous map (on the right) has the range [0, 2]. The utility method discretise() is also applied to the continuous colormap to obtain a colormap with 5 bands in the same range.

Different uses of WStandardColorMap

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ WStandardColorMap() [1/2]

Wt::Chart::WStandardColorMap::WStandardColorMap ( double  min,
double  max,
bool  continuous 
)

Construct a default colormap.

The default colormap is a transition from yellow to red. The color-scheme was taken from ColorBrewer, which contains lots of useful info and example schemes you might want to use for your custom colormaps.

◆ WStandardColorMap() [2/2]

Wt::Chart::WStandardColorMap::WStandardColorMap ( double  min,
double  max,
const std::vector< WStandardColorMap::Pair > &  colors,
bool  continuous 
)

Construct a custom colormap.

This constructor allows you to pass a list of value-to-color pairs that define a colormap as described in the class description.

Member Function Documentation

◆ createStrip()

void Wt::Chart::WStandardColorMap::createStrip ( WPainter painter,
const WRectF area = WRectF() 
) const
overridevirtual

Paints the colormap as a colored strip.

This paints the colormap from the minimum to the maximum value in the provided area (default = fill the entire paintdevice). This is no legend with ticks and labels, only the colors are painted.

See also
paintLegend()

Implements Wt::Chart::WAbstractColorMap.

◆ discretise()

void Wt::Chart::WStandardColorMap::discretise ( int  numberOfBands)

Utility method to discretise a continuous colormap in a number of equally sized bands.

This method makes a new list of value-to-color pairs by discretising the linear interpolation of the previous one into numberOfBands equally sized colorbands. This method only has effect if the colormap is continuous.

◆ paintLegend()

void Wt::Chart::WStandardColorMap::paintLegend ( WPainter painter,
const WRectF area = WRectF() 
) const
overridevirtual

Paints the colormap as a legend.

The colormap is painted as a legend with ticks and value-labels. The parameter area can be used to specify a part of the paintdevice where the legend should be drawn. When drawing the legend, the tickspacing, labelformat and labelfont are taken into account.
