Detailed Description

The QDial class provides a rounded range control (like a speedometer or potentiometer).

\inmodule QtWidgets

QDial is used when the user needs to control a value within a program-definable range, and the range either wraps around (for example, with angles measured from 0 to 359 degrees) or the dialog layout needs a square widget.

Since QDial inherits from QAbstractSlider, the dial behaves in a similar way to a \l{QSlider}{slider}. When wrapping() is false (the default setting) there is no real difference between a slider and a dial. They both share the same signals, slots and member functions. Which one you use depends on the expectations of your users and on the type of application.

The dial initially emits valueChanged() signals continuously while the slider is being moved; you can make it emit the signal less often by disabling the \l{QAbstractSlider::tracking} {tracking} property. The sliderMoved() signal is emitted continuously even when tracking is disabled.

The dial also emits sliderPressed() and sliderReleased() signals when the mouse button is pressed and released. Note that the dial's value can change without these signals being emitted since the keyboard and wheel can also be used to change the value.

Unlike the slider, QDial attempts to draw a "nice" number of notches rather than one per line step. If possible, the number of notches drawn is one per line step, but if there aren't enough pixels to draw every one, QDial will skip notches to try and draw a uniform set (e.g. by drawing every second or third notch).

Like the slider, the dial makes the QAbstractSlider function setValue() available as a slot.

The dial's keyboard interface is fairly simple: The \uicontrol{left}/\uicontrol{up} and \uicontrol{right}/\uicontrol{down} arrow keys adjust the dial's \l {QAbstractSlider::value} {value} by the defined \l {QAbstractSlider::singleStep} {singleStep}, \uicontrol{Page Up} and \uicontrol{Page Down} by the defined \l {QAbstractSlider::pageStep} {pageStep}, and the \uicontrol Home and \uicontrol End keys set the value to the defined \l {QAbstractSlider::minimum} {minimum} and \l {QAbstractSlider::maximum} {maximum} values.

If you are using the mouse wheel to adjust the dial, the increment value is determined by the lesser value of \l{QApplication::wheelScrollLines()} {wheelScrollLines} multiplied by \l {QAbstractSlider::singleStep} {singleStep}, and \l {QAbstractSlider::pageStep} {pageStep}.

Property Documentation

◆ notchesVisible

bool QDial::notchesVisible
readwrite

whether the notches are shown

If the property is true, a series of notches are drawn around the dial to indicate the range of values available; otherwise no notches are shown.

By default, this property is disabled.

Definition at line 26 of file qdial.h.

◆ notchSize

int QDial::notchSize
read

the current notch size

The notch size is in range control units, not pixels, and is calculated to be a multiple of singleStep() that results in an on-screen notch size near notchTarget().

See also
notchTarget(), singleStep()

Definition at line 24 of file qdial.h.

◆ notchTarget

qreal QDial::notchTarget
readwrite

the target number of pixels between notches

The notch target is the number of pixels QDial attempts to put between each notch.

The actual size may differ from the target size.

The default notch target is 3.7 pixels.

Definition at line 25 of file qdial.h.

◆ wrapping

bool QDial::wrapping
readwrite

whether wrapping is enabled

If true, wrapping is enabled; otherwise some space is inserted at the bottom of the dial to separate the ends of the range of valid values.

If enabled, the arrow can be oriented at any angle on the dial. If disabled, the arrow will be restricted to the upper part of the dial; if it is rotated into the space at the bottom of the dial, it will be clamped to the closest end of the valid range of values.

By default this property is false.
