Detailed Description
       QwtRasterData defines an interface to any type of raster data.

       QwtRasterData is an abstract interface, that is used by QwtPlotRasterItem to find the values at the pixels of its raster.

       Often a raster item is used to display values from a matrix. Then the derived raster data class needs to implement some sort of resampling,
       that maps the raster of the matrix into the requested raster of the raster item ( depending on resolution and scales of the canvas ).

Member Enumeration Documentation
   enum QwtRasterData::ConrecAttribute
       Attribute to modify the contour algorithm.

Constructor &; Destructor Documentation
   QwtRasterData::QwtRasterData ()
       Constructor.

   QwtRasterData::QwtRasterData (const QwtDoubleRect &boundingRect) Constructor
       Parameters:
	   boundingRect Bounding rectangle

       See also:
	   setBoundingRect()

   QwtRasterData::~QwtRasterData () [virtual]
       Destructor.

Member Function Documentation
   QwtDoubleRect QwtRasterData::boundingRect () const Returns:
	   Bounding rectangle

       See also:
	   boundingRect()

   QwtRasterData::ContourLines QwtRasterData::contourLines (const QwtDoubleRect &rect, const QSize &raster, const QList< double > &levels,
       intflags) const [virtual] Calculate contour lines
       An adaption of CONREC, a simple contouring algorithm. http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/papers/conrec/

   virtual QwtRasterData* QwtRasterData::copy () const [pure virtual]
       Clone the data.

   void QwtRasterData::discardRaster () [virtual]
       Discard a raster. After the composition of an image QwtPlotSpectrogram calls discardRaster().

       The default implementation does nothing, but if data has been loaded in initRaster(), it could deleted now.

       See also:
	   initRaster(), value()

   void QwtRasterData::initRaster (const QwtDoubleRect &, const QSize &raster) [virtual]
       Initialize a raster. Before the composition of an image QwtPlotSpectrogram calls initRaster, announcing the area and its resolution that
       will be requested.

       The default implementation does nothing, but for data sets that are stored in files, it might be good idea to reimplement initRaster, where
       the data is resampled and loaded into memory.

       Parameters:
	   rect Area of the raster
	   raster Number of horizontal and vertical pixels

       See also:
	   initRaster(), value()

   virtual QwtDoubleInterval QwtRasterData::range () const [pure virtual] Returns:
	   the range of the values

   QSize QwtRasterData::rasterHint (const QwtDoubleRect &) const [virtual]
       Find the raster of the data for an area. The resolution is the number of horizontal and vertical pixels that the data can return for an
       area. An invalid resolution indicates that the data can return values for any detail level.

       The resolution will limit the size of the image that is rendered from the data. F.e. this might be important when printing a spectrogram to
       a A0 printer with 600 dpi.

       The default implementation returns an invalid resolution (size)

       Parameters:
	   rect In most implementations the resolution of the data doesn't depend on the requested rectangle.

       Returns:
	   Resolution, as number of horizontal and vertical pixels

   void QwtRasterData::setBoundingRect (const QwtDoubleRect &boundingRect) [virtual] Set the bounding rect ( == area, un plot coordinates )
       Parameters:
	   boundingRect Bounding rectangle

       See also:
	   boundingRect()

   virtual double QwtRasterData::value (doublex, doubley) const [pure virtual] Returns:
	   the value at a raster position

       Parameters:
	   x X value in plot coordinates
	   y Y value in plot coordinates
