## Detailed Description

**QwtPicker** provides selections on a widget.

**QwtPicker** filters all enter, leave, mouse and keyboard events of a widget and translates them into an array of selected points.

The way how the points are collected depends on type of state machine that is connected to the picker. Qwt offers a couple of predefined state machines for selecting:

- •

  Nothing\
  \
    **QwtPickerTrackerMachine**

- •

  Single points\
  \
    **QwtPickerClickPointMachine**, **QwtPickerDragPointMachine**

- •

  Rectangles\
  \
    **QwtPickerClickRectMachine**, **QwtPickerDragRectMachine**

- •

  Polygons\
  \
    **QwtPickerPolygonMachine**

While these state machines cover the most common ways to collect points it is also possible to implement individual machines as well.

**QwtPicker** translates the picked points into a selection using the **adjustedPoints()** method. **adjustedPoints()** is intended to be reimplemented to fix up the selection according to application specific requirements. (F.e. when an application accepts rectangles of a fixed aspect ratio only.)

Optionally **QwtPicker** support the process of collecting points by a rubber band and tracker displaying a text for the current mouse position.

**Example**

```
#include <qwt_picker.h>
#include <qwt_picker_machine.h>
QwtPicker *picker = new QwtPicker(widget);
picker->setStateMachine(new QwtPickerDragRectMachine);
picker->setTrackerMode(QwtPicker::ActiveOnly);
picker->setRubberBand(QwtPicker::RectRubberBand);
```

The state machine triggers the following commands:

- •

  **begin()**\
  \
    Activate/Initialize the selection.

- •

  **append()**\
  \
    Add a new point

- •

  **move()** \
  \
    Change the position of the last point.

- •

  **remove()**\
  \
    Remove the last point.

- •

  **end()**\
  \
    Terminate the selection and call accept to validate the picked points.

The picker is active (**isActive()**), between **begin()** and **end()**. In active state the rubber band is displayed, and the tracker is visible in case of trackerMode is ActiveOnly or AlwaysOn.

The cursor can be moved using the arrow keys. All selections can be aborted using the abort key. (**QwtEventPattern::KeyPatternCode**)

**Warning:**

In case of QWidget::NoFocus the focus policy of the observed widget is set to QWidget::WheelFocus and mouse tracking will be manipulated while the picker is active, or if **trackerMode()** is AlwayOn.

  *A rectangular selection might need to have a specific aspect ratio only.*

- •

  *A selection could accept non intersecting polygons only.*

- •

  *...*

*The example below is for a rectangular selection, where the first point is the center of the selected rectangle.*
