class QwtDialScaleDraw
Detailed DescriptionQwtDial class provides a rounded range control.
QwtDial is intended as base class for dial widgets like speedometers,
compass widgets, clocks ...
A dial contains a scale and a needle indicating the current value of
the dial. Depending on Mode one of them is fixed and the other is
rotating. If not isReadOnly() the dial can be rotated by dragging the
mouse or using keyboard inputs (see keyPressEvent()). A dial might be
wrapping, what means a rotation below/above one limit continues on the
other limit (f.e compass). The scale might cover any arc of the dial,
its values are related to the origin() of the dial.
Qwt is missing a set of good looking needles (QwtDialNeedle).
Contributions are very welcome.

Note:
The examples/dials example shows different types of dials.
Member Enumeration Documentation
enum QwtDial::Direction Direction of the dial
enum QwtDial::Mode In case of RotateNeedle the needle is rotating, in case
of RotateScale, the needle points to origin() and the scale is
rotating.
enum QwtDial::ScaleOptions
see QwtDial::setScaleOptions
enum QwtAbstractSlider::ScrollMode [inherited] Scroll mode
See also:
getScrollMode()
enum QwtDial::Shadow
Frame shadow. Unfortunately it is not possible to use QFrame::Shadow as
a property of a widget that is not derived from QFrame. The following
enum is made for the designer only. It is safe to use QFrame::Shadow
instead.
Constructor & Destructor Documentation
QwtDial::QwtDial (QWidget *parent = NULL) [explicit]
Constructor. Parameters:
parent Parent widget
Create a dial widget with no scale and no needle. The default origin is
90.0 with no valid value. It accepts mouse and keyboard inputs and has
no step size. The default mode is QwtDial::RotateNeedle.
QwtDial::~QwtDial () [virtual]
Destructor.

Make the range periodic. When the range is periodic, the value will be
set to a point inside the interval such that

emit signals if necessary.

Warning:
· A change of the range changes the value if it lies outside the
new range. The current value will *not* be adjusted to the new
step raster.
· vmax < vmin is allowed.
· If the step size is left out or set to zero, it will be set to
1/100 of the interval length.
· If the step size has an absurd value, it will be corrected to a
better one.

a valueChanged() signal whenever its value changes (the default
behaviour). If tracking is disabled, the value changed() signal will
