.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP 
\fBQwtRasterData\fP defines an interface to any type of raster data\&. 

\fBQwtRasterData\fP is an abstract interface, that is used by \fBQwtPlotRasterItem\fP to find the values at the pixels of its raster\&.
.PP
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 )\&.

.SS "void QwtRasterData::discardRaster ()\fC [virtual]\fP"

.PP
Discard a raster\&. After the composition of an image \fBQwtPlotSpectrogram\fP calls \fBdiscardRaster()\fP\&.
.PP
The default implementation does nothing, but if data has been loaded in \fBinitRaster()\fP, it could deleted now\&.

.PP

.SS "void QwtRasterData::initRaster (const QRectF &area, const QSize &raster)\fC [virtual]\fP"

.PP
Initialize a raster\&. Before the composition of an image \fBQwtPlotSpectrogram\fP calls \fBinitRaster()\fP, announcing the area and its resolution that will be requested\&.
.PP
The default implementation does nothing, but for data sets that are stored in files, it might be good idea to reimplement \fBinitRaster()\fP, where the data is resampled and loaded into memory\&.
.PP
\fBParameters:\fP
.RS 4
\fIarea\fP Area of the raster 
.br
\fIraster\fP Number of horizontal and vertical pixels

.SS "QRectF QwtRasterData::pixelHint (const QRectF &area) const\fC [virtual]\fP"

.PP
Pixel hint\&. \fBpixelHint()\fP returns the geometry of a pixel, that can be used to calculate the resolution and alignment of the plot item, that is representing the data\&.
.PP
Width and height of the hint need to be the horizontal and vertical distances between 2 neighbored points\&. The center of the hint has to be the position of any point ( it doesn't matter which one )\&.
.PP
An empty hint indicates, that there are values for any detail level\&.
.PP
Limiting the resolution of the image might significantly improve the performance and heavily reduce the amount of memory when rendering a QImage from the raster data\&.
.PP
The default implementation returns an empty rectangle recommending to render in target device ( f\&.e\&. screen ) resolution\&.
.PP
\fBParameters:\fP
.RS 4
\fIarea\fP In most implementations the resolution of the data doesn't depend on the requested area\&.
