## Detailed Description

The Counter Widget.

A Counter consists of a label displaying a number and one ore more (up to three) push buttons on each side of the label which can be used to increment or decrement the counter's value.

A Counter has a range from a minimum value to a maximum value and a step size. The range can be specified using QwtDblRange::setRange(). The counter's value is an integer multiple of the step size. The number of steps by which a button increments or decrements the value can be specified using QwtCounter::setIncSteps(). The number of buttons can be changed with QwtCounter::setNumButtons().

Holding the space bar down with focus on a button is the fastest method to step through the counter values. When the counter underflows/overflows, the focus is set to the smallest up/down button and counting is disabled. Counting is re-enabled on a button release event (mouse or space bar).

Example:

#include "../include/qwt_counter.h>
QwtCounter *cnt;
cnt = new QwtCounter(parent, name);
cnt->setRange(0.0, 100.0, 1.0); // From 0.0 to 100, step 1.0
cnt->setNumButtons(2); // Two buttons each side
cnt->setIncSteps(QwtCounter::Button1, 1); // Button 1 increments 1 step
cnt->setIncSteps(QwtCounter::Button2, 20); // Button 2 increments 20 steps
connect(cnt, SIGNAL(valueChanged(double)), my_class, SLOT(newValue(double)));
