The QLCDNumber widget displays a number with LCD-like
digits.
It can display a number in just about any size, in
decimal, hexadecimal, octal or binary notation, and is
easy to connect to data sources via the display() slot,
which is overloaded to take any of five argument types.
There are also slots to change the notation mode and
decimal point mode.
QLCDNumber emits the overflow() signal when it is asked to
display something beyond its range. The range is set by
setNumDigits() (but setSmallDecimalPoint() influences it
too).
These digits and other symbols can be shown: 0/O, 1, 2, 3,
4, 5/S, 6, 7, 8, 9/g, minus, decimal point, A, B, C, D, E,
F, h, H, L, o, P, r, u, U, Y, colon, degree sign (which is
specified as single quote in the string) and space.
QLCDNumber substitutes spaces for illegal characters.
It is not possible to retrieve the contents of a
QLCDNumber object. If you need to, we recommend that you
connect the signals which feed the display() slot to
another slot as well and store the value there.
Incidentally, QLCDNumber is the very oldest part of Qt,
tracing back to a BASIC program on the Sinclair Spectrum.

Member Type Documentation
QLCDNumber::Mode
This type determines how numbers are shown. The possible
values are:
Hex - Hexadecimal
Dec - Decimal
Oct - Octal
Bin - Binary
This type determines the visual appearance of the
QLCDNumber widget. The possible values are:
Outline gives raised segments filled with the background
brush.
Filled gives raised segments filled with the foreground
brush.
Flat gives flat segments filled with the foreground brush.
MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
QLCDNumber::QLCDNumber ( QWidget * parent=0, const char * name=0
)
Constructs an LCD number, sets the number of digits to 5,
the base to decimal, the decimal point mode to 'small' and
the frame style to a raised box. The segmentStyle() is set
to Outline.
The parent and name arguments are passed to the QFrame
constructor.
See also setNumDigits() and setSmallDecimalPoint().
QLCDNumber::QLCDNumber ( uint numDigits, QWidget * parent=0,
const char * name=0 )
Constructs an LCD number, sets the number of digits to
numDigits, the base to decimal, the decimal point mode to
'small' and the frame style to a raised box. The
segmentStyle() is set to Outline.
The parent and name arguments are passed to the QFrame
constructor.
See also setNumDigits() and setSmallDecimalPoint().
QLCDNumber::~QLCDNumber ()
Destructs the LCD number.
bool QLCDNumber::checkOverflow ( double num ) const
Returns TRUE if num is too big to be displayed in its
entirety, FALSE otherwise.
See also display(), numDigits() and smallDecimalPoint().
bool QLCDNumber::checkOverflow ( int num ) const
Returns TRUE if num is too big to be displayed in its
entirety, FALSE otherwise.
See also display(), numDigits() and smallDecimalPoint().
void QLCDNumber::display ( int num ) [slot]
Sets the contents of the display to num.
Examples: xform/xform.cpp
void QLCDNumber::display ( const QString & s ) [slot]
This is an overloaded member function, provided for
convenience. It differs from the above function only in
what argument(s) it accepts.
This version of the function disregards mode() and
smallDecimalPoint().
These digits and other symbols can be shown: 0/O, 1, 2, 3,
4, 5/S, 6, 7, 8, 9/g, minus, decimal point, A, B, C, D, E,
F, h, H, L, o, P, r, u, U, Y, colon, degree sign (which is
specified as single quote in the string) and space.
QLCDNumber substitutes spaces for illegal characters.
void QLCDNumber::display ( double num ) [slot]
This is an overloaded member function, provided for
convenience. It differs from the above function only in
what argument(s) it accepts.
void QLCDNumber::drawContents ( QPainter * p ) [virtual
protected]
Draws the LCD number using painter p. This function is
called from QFrame::paintEvent().
Reimplemented from QFrame.
int QLCDNumber::intValue () const
Returns the last value set by one of the display() slots
rounded to the nearest integer.
If display(QString ) was the last called, 0 is returned.
See also value() and display().
QLCDNumber::Mode QLCDNumber::mode() const
Returns the current display mode, which is one of BIN,
OCT, DEC and HEX.
See also setMode() and smallDecimalPoint().
int QLCDNumber::numDigits () const
Returns the current number of digits. If
smallDecimalPoint() is FALSE, the decimal point occupies
one digit position.
See also setNumDigits() and smallDecimalPoint().
void QLCDNumber::overflow () [signal]
This signal is emitted whenever the QLCDNumber is asked to
display a too large number or a too long string.
QLCDNumber::SegmentStyle QLCDNumber::segmentStyle() const
Returns the style of the QLCDNumber.
See also setSegmentStyle().
void QLCDNumber::setBinMode () [virtual slot]
Calls setMode( BIN ). Provided for convenience (e.g. for
connecting buttons to this).
See also setMode(), setHexMode(), setDecMode(),
setOctMode() and mode().
void QLCDNumber::setDecMode () [virtual slot]
Calls setMode( DEC ). Provided for convenience (e.g. for
connecting buttons to this).
See also setMode(), setHexMode(), setOctMode(),
setBinMode() and mode().
void QLCDNumber::setHexMode () [virtual slot]
Calls setMode( HEX ). Provided for convenience (e.g. for
connecting buttons to this).
See also setMode(), setDecMode(), setOctMode(),
setBinMode() and mode().
void QLCDNumber::setMode ( Mode m )
Sets the display mode to m, which must be one of BIN, OCT,
DEC and HEX. All four modes can display both integers,
floating-point numbers and strings (subject to character
set limitations).
Example:
myLcd.setMode( QLCDNumber::HEX );
See also mode(), setHexMode(), setDecMode(), setOctMode(),
setBinMode(), setSmallDecimalPoint() and display().
void QLCDNumber::setNumDigits ( int numDigits ) [virtual]
Sets the number of digits shown to numDigits, which is
forced into the [0-99] range.
If smallDecimalPoint() is TRUE, numDigits can be shown. If
it is FALSE, only numDigits-1 digits can be shown.
See also numDigits(), setMode(), setSmallDecimalPoint()
and overflow().
void QLCDNumber::setOctMode () [virtual slot]
Calls setMode( OCT ). Provided for convenience (e.g. for
connecting buttons to this).
setBinMode() and mode().
void QLCDNumber::setSegmentStyle ( SegmentStyle s )
Sets the style of the QLCDNumber to s.
Outline gives raised segments filled with the background
color.
Filled gives raised segments filled with the foreground
color.
Flat gives flat segments filled with the foreground color.
Outline and Filled will additionally use
QColorGroup::light() and QColorGroup::dark() for shadow
effects.
See also segmentStyle().
void QLCDNumber::setSmallDecimalPoint ( bool b ) [virtual slot]
If b is TRUE, the decimal point is drawn between two
digits. If b is FALSE, the decimal point is drawn in a
digit position.
The inter-digit space is made slightly wider when the
decimal point is drawn between the digits.
See also smallDecimalPoint() and setMode().
QSize QLCDNumber::sizeHint () const [virtual]
Reimplemented for internal reasons; the API is not
affected.
Reimplemented from QWidget.
QSizePolicy QLCDNumber::sizePolicy () const [virtual]
Reimplemented for internal reasons; the API is not
affected.
Reimplemented from QWidget.
bool QLCDNumber::smallDecimalPoint () const
Returns TRUE if the decimal point is currently drawn
between two digit positions, and FALSE if it is drawn in a
digit position.
See also setSmallDecimalPoint() and mode().
double QLCDNumber::value () const
Returns the last value set by one of the display() slots.
If display(QString ) was the last called, 0 is returned.
