## Detailed Description

A spin box for fractional numbers.

This class provides a spin box for fractional numbers.

KDE Fractional Number Spinbox

See below for code examples on how to use this class.

Parameters

To make successful use of KDoubleSpinBox, you need to understand the relationship between precision and available range.

- precision: The number of digits after the decimal point.
- maxValue/minValue: upper and lower bounds of the valid range
- lineStep: the size of the step that is made when the user hits the up or down buttons

Since we work with fixed-point numbers internally, the maximum precision is a function of the valid range and vice versa. More precisely, the following relationships hold:

       max( abs(minValue()), abs(maxValue() ) <= INT_MAX/10^precision
       maxPrecision = floor( log10( INT_MAX/max(abs(minValue()),abs(maxValue())) ) )

Since the value, bounds and lineStep are rounded to the current precision, you may find that the order of setting these parameters matters. As an example, the following are not equivalent (try it!):

       // sets precision,
       // then min/max value (rounded to precision and clipped to obtainable range if needed)
       // then value and lineStep
       KDoubleSpinBox * spin = new KDoubleSpinBox( 0, 9.999, 0.001, 4.321, 3, this );

       // sets minValue to 0; maxValue to 10.00(!); value to 4.32(!) and only then
       // increases the precision - too late, since e.g. value has already been rounded...
       KDoubleSpinBox * spin = new KDoubleSpinBox( this );
       spin->setMinValue( 0 );
       spin->setMaxValue( 9.999 );
       spin->setValue( 4.321 );
       spin->setPrecision( 3 );

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KDoubleSpinBox::KDoubleSpinBox | ( | QWidget * | parent = `0`,
|  | const char * | name = `0`
| ) |

| Constructs a KDoubleSpinBox with parent `parent` and default values for range and value (whatever QRangeControl uses) and precision (2). Definition at line 996 of file knuminput.cpp. References QSpinBox::editor(), and valueChanged().

KDoubleSpinBox::KDoubleSpinBox | ( | double | lower,
|  | double | upper,
|  | double | step,
|  | double | value,
|  | int | precision = `2`,
|  | QWidget * | parent = `0`,
|  | const char * | name = `0`
| ) |

| Constructs a KDoubleSpinBox with parent `parent`, range [ `lower`, `upper` ], lineStep `step`, precision `precision` and initial value `value`. Definition at line 1005 of file knuminput.cpp. References QSpinBox::editor(), setRange(), setValue(), and valueChanged().

## Member Function Documentation

bool KDoubleSpinBox::acceptLocalizedNumbers | ( |  | ) | const

| Returns: whether the spinbox uses localized numbers

void KDoubleSpinBox::setAcceptLocalizedNumbers | ( | bool | accept | ) | `[virtual]`

| Sets whether to use and accept localized numbers as returned by KLocale::formatNumber(). Definition at line 1027 of file knuminput.cpp.

void KDoubleSpinBox::setRange | ( | double | lower,
|  | double | upper,
|  | double | step = `0.01`,
|  | int | precision = `2`
| ) |

| Sets a new range for the spin box values. Note that `lower`, `upper` and `step` are rounded to `precision` decimal points first. Definition at line 1032 of file knuminput.cpp. References setLineStep(), setMaxValue(), setMinValue(), and setPrecision(). Referenced by KDoubleSpinBox().

int KDoubleSpinBox::precision | ( |  | ) | const

| Returns: the current number of digits displayed to the right of the decimal point.

void KDoubleSpinBox::setPrecision | ( | int | precision | ) |

| Equivalent to setPrecision( `precision`, `false` ); Needed since Qt's moc doesn't ignore trailing parameters with default args when searching for a property setter method. Definition at line 1046 of file knuminput.cpp. Referenced by setRange().

void KDoubleSpinBox::setPrecision | ( | int | precision,
|  | bool | force
| ) | `[virtual]`

  | Sets the precision (number of digits to the right of the decimal point). Note that there is a tradeoff between the precision used and the available range of values. See the class documentation above for more information on this. Parameters:
  | precision | the new precision to use
  | force | if true, disables checking of bounds violations that can arise if you increase the precision so much that the minimum and maximum values can't be represented anymore. Disabling is useful if you were going to disable range control in any case.
Definition at line 1050 of file knuminput.cpp.

double KDoubleSpinBox::value | ( |  | ) | const

| Returns: the current value Reimplemented from QSpinBox. Definition at line 1072 of file knuminput.cpp. Referenced by KInputDialog::getDouble().

double KDoubleSpinBox::minValue | ( |  | ) | const

| Returns: the current lower bound Reimplemented from QSpinBox. Definition at line 1089 of file knuminput.cpp. Referenced by setLineStep(), and setValue().

void KDoubleSpinBox::setMinValue | ( | double | value | ) |

| Sets the lower bound of the range to `value`, subject to the contraints that `value` is first rounded to the current precision and then clipped to the maximum range interval that can be handled at that precision. See also: maxValue, minValue, setMaxValue, setRange Definition at line 1093 of file knuminput.cpp. Referenced by setRange().

double KDoubleSpinBox::maxValue | ( |  | ) | const

| Returns: the current upper bound Reimplemented from QSpinBox. Definition at line 1102 of file knuminput.cpp. Referenced by setLineStep(), and setValue().

void KDoubleSpinBox::setMaxValue | ( | double | value | ) |

| Sets the upper bound of the range to `value`, subject to the contraints that `value` is first rounded to the current precision and then clipped to the maximum range interval that can be handled at that precision. See also: minValue, maxValue, setMinValue, setRange Definition at line 1106 of file knuminput.cpp. Referenced by setRange().

double KDoubleSpinBox::lineStep | ( |  | ) | const

| Returns: the current step size Reimplemented from QSpinBox. Definition at line 1114 of file knuminput.cpp.

void KDoubleSpinBox::setLineStep | ( | double | step | ) |

| Sets the step size for clicking the up/down buttons to `step`, subject to the constraints that `step` is first rounded to the current precision and then clipped to the meaningful interval [ 1, `maxValue()` - `minValue()` ]. Definition at line 1118 of file knuminput.cpp. References maxValue(), and minValue(). Referenced by setRange().

void KDoubleSpinBox::setValidator | ( | const QValidator * |  | ) |

| Overridden to ignore any setValidator() calls. Reimplemented from QSpinBox. Definition at line 1148 of file knuminput.cpp.

void KDoubleSpinBox::valueChanged | ( | double | value | ) | `[signal]`

| Emitted whenever QSpinBox::valueChanged( int ) is emitted. Referenced by KDoubleSpinBox().

void KDoubleSpinBox::setValue | ( | double | value | ) | `[virtual, slot]`

| Sets the current value to `value`, subject to the constraints that `value` is first rounded to the current precision and then clipped to the interval [ `minValue()` , `maxValue()` ]. Definition at line 1076 of file knuminput.cpp. References maxValue(), and minValue(). Referenced by KDoubleSpinBox().
