Detailed Description
       Synthetic point data.

       QwtSyntheticPointData provides a fixed number of points for an interval. The points are calculated in equidistant steps in x-direction.

       If the interval is invalid, the points are calculated for the 'rect of interest', what normally is the displayed area on the plot canvas.
       In this mode you get different levels of detail, when zooming in/out.

       Example

       The following example shows how to implement a sinus curve.

       #include <cmath>
       #include <qwt_series_data.h>
       #include <qwt_plot_curve.h>
       #include <qwt_plot.h>
       #include <qapplication.h>

       class SinusData: public QwtSyntheticPointData
       {
       public:
	   SinusData():
	       QwtSyntheticPointData(100)
	   {
	   }
	   virtual double y(double x) const
	   {
	       return qSin(x);
	   }
       };

       int main(int argc, char **argv)
       {
	   QApplication a(argc, argv);

	   QwtPlot plot;
	   plot.setAxisScale(QwtPlot::xBottom, 0.0, 10.0);
	   plot.setAxisScale(QwtPlot::yLeft, -1.0, 1.0);

	   QwtPlotCurve *curve = new QwtPlotCurve("y = sin(x)");
	   curve->setData(SinusData());
	   curve->attach(&plot);

	   plot.show();
	   return a.exec();
       }
	  .fi

Constructor &; Destructor Documentation
   QwtSyntheticPointData::QwtSyntheticPointData (size_tsize, const QwtInterval &interval = QwtInterval()) Constructor
       Parameters:
	   size Number of points
	   interval Bounding interval for the points

       See also:
	   setInterval(), setSize()

Member Function Documentation
   QRectF QwtSyntheticPointData::boundingRect () const [virtual]
       Calculate the bounding rect. This implementation iterates over all points, what could often be implemented much faster using the
       characteristics of the series. When there are many points it is recommended to overload and reimplement this method using the
       characteristics of the series ( if possible ).

       Returns:
	   Bounding rectangle

       Implements QwtSeriesData< QPointF >.

   QwtInterval QwtSyntheticPointData::interval () const Returns:
	   Bounding interval

       See also:
	   setInterval(), size()

   QRectF QwtSyntheticPointData::rectOfInterest () const Returns:
       See also:
	   setRectOfInterest()

   QPointF QwtSyntheticPointData::sample (size_tindex) const [virtual] Calculate the point from an index
       Parameters:
	   index Index

       Returns:
	   QPointF(x(index), y(x(index)));

       Warning:
	   For invalid indices ( index < 0 || index >= size() ) (0, 0) is returned.

       Implements QwtSeriesData< QPointF >.

   void QwtSyntheticPointData::setInterval (const QwtInterval &interval) Set the bounding interval
       Parameters:
	   interval Interval

       See also:
	   interval(), setSize()

   void QwtSyntheticPointData::setRectOfInterest (const QRectF &rect) [virtual] Set a the 'rect of interest'
       QwtPlotSeriesItem defines the current area of the plot canvas as 'rect of interest' ( QwtPlotSeriesItem::updateScaleDiv() ).

       If interval().isValid() == false the x values are calculated in the interval rect.left() -> rect.right().

       See also:
	   rectOfInterest()

       Reimplemented from QwtSeriesData< QPointF >.

   void QwtSyntheticPointData::setSize (size_tsize) Change the number of points
       Parameters:
	   size Number of points

       See also:
	   size(), setInterval()

   size_t QwtSyntheticPointData::size () const [virtual] Returns:
	   Number of points

       See also:
	   setSize(), interval()

       Implements QwtSeriesData< QPointF >.

   double QwtSyntheticPointData::x (uintindex) const [virtual] Calculate a x-value from an index
       x values are calculated by deviding an interval into equidistant steps. If !interval().isValid() the interval is calculated from the 'rect
       of interest'.

       See also:
	   interval(), rectOfInterest(), y()

   virtual double QwtSyntheticPointData::y (doublex) const [pure virtual] Calculate a y value for a x value
       Parameters:
	   x x value

       Returns:
	   Corresponding y value
