virtual void | setValue (double value)
| Sets the current value to `value`, cubject to the constraints that `value` is frist rounded to the current precision and then clipped to the interval [`minvalue()`,`maxValue()`].

## Detailed Description

This class provides a spin box for fractional numbers. A spin box for fractional numbers.

Parameters

There are a number of interdependent parameters whose relation to each other you need to understand in order to make successful use of the spin box.

- precision: The number of decimals after the decimal point.
- maxValue/minValue: upper and lower bound of the valid range
- lineStep: the size of the step that is taken 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 relations 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 step are rounded to the current precision, you may experience that the order of setting above parameters matters. E.g. the following are not equivalent (try it!):

       // sets precision,
       // then min/max value (rounded to precison 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...
       KDpubleSpinBox * 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 912 of file knuminput.cpp. References QSpinBox::editor(), and KStdAccel::name().

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 920 of file knuminput.cpp. References QSpinBox::editor(), KStdAccel::name(), setRange(), setValue(), and valueChanged().

## Member Function Documentation

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

| Returns: whether the spinbox uses localized numbers Definition at line 936 of file knuminput.cpp.

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

| Sets whether to use and accept localized numbers as returned by KLocale::formatNumber(). Definition at line 942 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 947 of file knuminput.cpp. References setLineStep(), setMaxValue(), setMinValue(), and setPrecision(). Referenced by KDoubleSpinBox().

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

| Returns: the current number of decimal points displayed. Definition at line 957 of file knuminput.cpp.

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

| Equivalent to setPrecsion( `precison`, `false` ); Needed since Qt's moc doesn't ignore trailing parameters with default args when searching for a property setter method. Definition at line 961 of file knuminput.cpp. Referenced by setRange().

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

  | Sets the number of decimal points to use. Note that there is a tradeoff between the precision used and the available range of values. See the class docs for more. Parameters:
  precision | the new number of decimal points to use
  force | disables checking of bound 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 don't want to keep the current min and max values anyway. This is what e.g. setRange() does.
