Detailed Description

Abstract base class for a curve fitter.

Definition at line 21 of file qwt_curve_fitter.h.

Member Enumeration Documentation

Mode

enum QwtCurveFitter::Mode

Preferred mode of the fitting algorithm.

Even if a QPainterPath can always be created from a QPolygonF the overhead of the conversion can be avoided by indicating the preference of the implementation to the application code.

Enumerator
Polygon	The fitting algorithm creates a polygon - the implementation of fitCurvePath() simply wraps the polygon into a path. See also QwtWeedingCurveFitter
Path	The fitting algorithm creates a painter path - the implementation of fitCurve() extracts a polygon from the path. See also QwtSplineCurveFitter
