Indeed, when wrapping() is FALSE (the default) there is no real difference between a slider and a dial. They have the same signals, slots and member functions, all of which do the same things. Which one you use depends only on your taste and on the application. +.PP +The dial initially emits valueChanged() signals continuously while the slider is being moved; you can make it emit the signal less often by calling setTracking(FALSE). dialMoved() is emitted continuously even when tracking() is FALSE. +.PP +The slider also emits dialPressed() and dialReleased() signals when the mouse button is pressed and released. But note that the dial's value can change without these signals being emitted; the keyboard and wheel can be used to change the value. +.PP +Unlike the slider, QDial attempts to draw a "nice" number of notches rather than one per lineStep(). If possible, the number of notches drawn is one per lineStep(), but if there aren't enough pixels to draw every one, QDial will draw every second, third etc., notch. notchSize() returns the number of units per notch, hopefully a multiple of lineStep(); setNotchTarget() sets the target distance between neighbouring notches in pixels. The default is 3.75 pixels. +.PP +Like the slider, the dial makes the QRangeControl functions setValue(), addLine(), subtractLine(), addPage() and subtractPage() available as slots. +.PP +The dial's keyboard interface is fairly simple: The left/up and right/down arrow keys move by lineStep(), page up and page down by pageStep() and Home and End to minValue() and maxValue(). +.PP +.ce 1 +.B "[Image Omitted]" +.PP + +.ce 1 +.B "[Image Omitted]" +.PP +See also QScrollBar, QSpinBox, GUI Design Handbook: Slider, and Basic Widgets. +.SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION +.SH "QDial::QDial ( QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0, WFlags f = 0 )" +Constructs a dial called \fIname\fR with parent \fIparent\fR. \fIf\fR is propagated to the QWidget constructor. It has the default range of a QRangeControl. +.SH "QDial::QDial ( int minValue, int maxValue, int pageStep, int value, QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )" +Constructs a dial called \fIname\fR with parent \fIparent\fR.
