Detailed Description

QHeightMapSurfaceDataProxy takes care of surface related height map data handling. It provides a way to give a height map to be visualized as a surface plot.

Since height maps do not contain values for X or Z axes, those values need to be given separately using minXValue, maxXValue, minZValue, and maxZValue properties. X-value corresponds to image horizontal direction and Z-value to the vertical. Setting any of these properties triggers asynchronous re-resolving of any existing height map.

See also QSurfaceDataProxy and Qt Data Visualization Data Handling.

Property Documentation

[since 6.3] autoScaleY : bool

Scale height values to Y-axis.

Defaults to false.

When this property is set to true, the height values are scaled to fit on the Y-axis between minYValue and maxYValue.

This property was introduced in Qt 6.3.

Access functions:

bool autoScaleY() const
void setAutoScaleY(bool enabled)

Notifier signal:

void autoScaleYChanged(bool enabled)

See also minYValue and maxYValue.

heightMap : QImage

This property holds the height map image to be visualized.

Access functions:

QImage heightMap() const
void setHeightMap(const QImage &image)

Notifier signal:

void heightMapChanged(const QImage &image)

heightMapFile : QString

This property holds the name of the file with a height map image to be visualized.

Access functions:

QString heightMapFile() const
void setHeightMapFile(const QString &filename)

Notifier signal:

void heightMapFileChanged(const QString &filename)

maxXValue : float

This property holds the maximum X value for the generated surface points.

Defaults to 10.0.

When setting this property the corresponding minimum value is adjusted if necessary, to ensure that the range remains valid.

Access functions:

float maxXValue() const
void setMaxXValue(float max)

Notifier signal:

void maxXValueChanged(float value)

[since 6.3] maxYValue : float

This property holds the maximum Y value for the generated surface points.

Defaults to 10.0.

When setting this property the corresponding minimum value is adjusted if necessary, to ensure that the range remains valid.

This property was introduced in Qt 6.3.

Access functions:

float maxYValue() const
void setMaxYValue(float max)

Notifier signal:

void maxYValueChanged(float value)

See also autoScaleY.

maxZValue : float

This property holds the maximum Z value for the generated surface points.

Defaults to 10.0.

When setting this property the corresponding minimum value is adjusted if necessary, to ensure that the range remains valid.

Access functions:

float maxZValue() const
void setMaxZValue(float max)

Notifier signal:

void maxZValueChanged(float value)

minXValue : float

This property holds the minimum X value for the generated surface points.

Defaults to 0.0.

When setting this property the corresponding maximum value is adjusted if necessary, to ensure that the range remains valid.

Access functions:

float minXValue() const
void setMinXValue(float min)

Notifier signal:

void minXValueChanged(float value)

[since 6.3] minYValue : float

This property holds the minimum Y value for the generated surface points.

Defaults to 0.0.

When setting this property the corresponding maximum value is adjusted if necessary, to ensure that the range remains valid.

This property was introduced in Qt 6.3.

Access functions:

float minYValue() const
void setMinYValue(float min)

Notifier signal:

void minYValueChanged(float value)

See also autoScaleY.

minZValue : float

This property holds the minimum Z value for the generated surface points.

Defaults to 0.0.

When setting this property the corresponding maximum value is adjusted if necessary, to ensure that the range remains valid.

Access functions:

float minZValue() const
void setMinZValue(float min)

Notifier signal:

void minZValueChanged(float value)

Member Function Documentation

[explicit] QHeightMapSurfaceDataProxy::QHeightMapSurfaceDataProxy(QObject *parent = nullptr)

Constructs QHeightMapSurfaceDataProxy with the given parent.

[explicit] QHeightMapSurfaceDataProxy::QHeightMapSurfaceDataProxy(const QImage &image, QObject *parent = nullptr)

Constructs QHeightMapSurfaceDataProxy with the given image and parent. Height map is set by calling setHeightMap() with image.

See also heightMap.

[explicit] QHeightMapSurfaceDataProxy::QHeightMapSurfaceDataProxy(const QString &filename, QObject *parent = nullptr)

Constructs QHeightMapSurfaceDataProxy from the given image filename and parent. Height map is set by calling setHeightMapFile() with filename.

See also heightMapFile.

[virtual noexcept] QHeightMapSurfaceDataProxy::~QHeightMapSurfaceDataProxy()

Destroys QHeightMapSurfaceDataProxy.

void QHeightMapSurfaceDataProxy::setHeightMap(const QImage &image)

Replaces current data with the height map data specified by image.

There are several formats the image can be given in, but if it is not in a directly usable format, a conversion is made.

Note: If the result seems wrong, the automatic conversion failed and you should try converting the image yourself before setting it. Preferred format is QImage::Format_RGB32 in grayscale.

The height of the image is read from the red component of the pixels if the image is in grayscale, otherwise it is an average calculated from red, green, and blue components of the pixels. Using grayscale images may improve data conversion speed for large images.

Not recommended formats: all mono formats (for example QImage::Format_Mono).

The height map is resolved asynchronously. QSurfaceDataProxy::arrayReset() is emitted when the data has been resolved.

Note: Setter function for property heightMap.

See also heightMap().

void QHeightMapSurfaceDataProxy::setHeightMapFile(const QString &filename)

Replaces current data with height map data from the file specified by filename.

Note: Setter function for property heightMapFile.

See also heightMapFile() and heightMap.

void QHeightMapSurfaceDataProxy::setValueRanges(float minX, float maxX, float minZ, float maxZ)

A convenience function for setting all minimum (minX and minZ) and maximum (maxX and maxZ) values at the same time. The minimum values must be smaller than the corresponding maximum value. Otherwise the values get adjusted so that they are valid.
