Detailed Description
       A scale engine for logarithmic (base 10) scales.
														    ight
       The step size is measured in *decades* and the major step size will be adjusted to fit the pattern $t 1,2,3,5

       Warning:
	   the step size as well as the margins are measured in *decades*.

Member Enumeration Documentation
   enum QwtScaleEngine::Attribute [inherited] .IP o 2
       IncludeReference
	Build a scale which includes the reference() value.

       o Symmetric
	  Build a scale which is symmetric to the reference() value.

       o Floating
	  The endpoints of the scale are supposed to be equal the outmost included values plus the specified margins (see setMargins()). If this
	 attribute is *not* set, the endpoints of the scale will be integer multiples of the step size.

       o Inverted
	  Turn the scale upside down.

       See also:
	   setAttribute(), testAttribute(), reference(), lowerMargin(), upperMargin()

Member Function Documentation
   int QwtScaleEngine::attributes () const [inherited] Return the scale attributes
       See also:
	   Attribute, setAttributes(), testAttribute()

   void QwtLog10ScaleEngine::autoScale (intmaxNumSteps, double &x1, double &x2, double &stepSize) const [virtual] Align and divide an interval
       Parameters:
	   maxNumSteps Max. number of steps
	   x1 First limit of the interval (In/Out)
	   x2 Second limit of the interval (In/Out)
	   stepSize Step size (Out)

       See also:
	   QwtScaleEngine::setAttribute()

       Implements QwtScaleEngine.

   QwtDoubleInterval QwtScaleEngine::buildInterval (doublev) const [protected, inherited]
       Build an interval for a value. In case of v == 0.0 the interval is [-0.5, 0.5], otherwide it is [0.5 * v, 1.5 * v]

   bool QwtScaleEngine::contains (const QwtDoubleInterval &interval, doublevalue) const [protected, inherited] Check if an interval 'contains' a
       value
       Parameters:
	   interval Interval
	   value Value

       See also:
	   QwtScaleArithmetic::compareEps()

   double QwtScaleEngine::divideInterval (doubleintervalSize, intnumSteps) const [protected, inherited] Calculate a step size for an interval size
       Parameters:
	   intervalSize Interval size
	   numSteps Number of steps

       Returns:
	   Step size

   QwtScaleDiv QwtLog10ScaleEngine::divideScale (doublex1, doublex2, intmaxMajSteps, intmaxMinSteps, doublestepSize = 0.0) const [virtual]
       Calculate a scale division. Parameters:
	   x1 First interval limit
	   x2 Second interval limit
	   maxMajSteps Maximum for the number of major steps
	   maxMinSteps Maximum number of minor steps
	   stepSize Step size. If stepSize == 0, the scaleEngine calculates one.

       See also:
	   QwtScaleEngine::stepSize(), QwtLog10ScaleEngine::subDivide()

       Implements QwtScaleEngine.

   QwtDoubleInterval QwtLog10ScaleEngine::log10 (const QwtDoubleInterval &interval) const [protected] Return the interval
       [log10(interval.minValue(), log10(interval.maxValue]
   double QwtScaleEngine::lowerMargin () const [inherited] Returns:
	   the margin at the lower end of the scale The default margin is 0.

       See also:
	   setMargins()

   QwtDoubleInterval QwtLog10ScaleEngine::pow10 (const QwtDoubleInterval &interval) const [protected] Return the interval
       [pow10(interval.minValue(), pow10(interval.maxValue]
   double QwtScaleEngine::reference () const [inherited] Returns:
	   the reference value

       See also:
	   setReference(), setAttribute()

   void QwtScaleEngine::setAttribute (Attributeattribute, boolon = true) [inherited] Change a scale attribute
       Parameters:
	   attribute Attribute to change
	   on On/Off

       See also:
	   Attribute, testAttribute()

   void QwtScaleEngine::setAttributes (intattributes) [inherited] Change the scale attribute
       Parameters:
	   attributes Set scale attributes

       See also:
	   Attribute, attributes()

   void QwtScaleEngine::setMargins (doublelower, doubleupper) [inherited]
       Specify margins at the scale's endpoints. Parameters:
	   lower minimum distance between the scale's lower boundary and the smallest enclosed value
	   upper minimum distance between the scale's upper boundary and the greatest enclosed value

       Margins can be used to leave a minimum amount of space between the enclosed intervals and the boundaries of the scale.

       Warning:
	   o QwtLog10ScaleEngine measures the margins in decades.
       See also:
	   upperMargin(), lowerMargin()
   void QwtScaleEngine::setReference (doubler) [inherited]
       Specify a reference point. Parameters:
	   r new reference value
       The reference point is needed if options IncludeReference or Symmetric are active. Its default value is 0.0.

	   Attribute
   QwtValueList QwtScaleEngine::strip (const QwtValueList &ticks, const QwtDoubleInterval &interval) const [protected, inherited] Remove ticks
       from a list, that are not inside an interval
       Parameters:
	   ticks Tick list
	   interval Interval
       Returns:
	   Stripped tick list
   bool QwtScaleEngine::testAttribute (Attributeattribute) const [inherited] Check if a attribute is set.
       Parameters:
	   attribute Attribute to be tested

       Implements QwtScaleEngine.
   double QwtScaleEngine::upperMargin () const [inherited] Returns:
	   the margin at the upper end of the scale The default margin is 0.
