digits.</p>
<p>It can display a number in just about any size. It can display
decimal, hexadecimal, octal or binary numbers. It is easy to
connect to data sources using the <a href="qlcdnumber.html#intValue-prop">display</a>() slot, which is
overloaded to take any of five argument types.</p>
<p>There are also slots to change the base with <a href="qlcdnumber.html#mode-prop">setMode</a>() and the decimal point
with <a href="qlcdnumber.html#smallDecimalPoint-prop">setSmallDecimalPoint</a>().</p>
<p>QLCDNumber emits the <a href="qlcdnumber.html#overflow">overflow</a>() signal when it is asked
to display something beyond its range. The range is set by <a href="qlcdnumber.html#digitCount-prop">setDigitCount</a>(), but <a href="qlcdnumber.html#smallDecimalPoint-prop">setSmallDecimalPoint</a>()
also influences it. If the display is set to hexadecimal, octal or
binary, the integer equivalent of the value is displayed.</p>
<p>These digits and other symbols can be shown: 0/O, 1, 2, 3, 4,
5/S, 6, 7, 8, 9/g, minus, decimal point, A, B, C, D, E, F, h, H, L,
o, P, r, u, U, Y, colon, degree sign (which is specified as single
quote in the string) and space. QLCDNumber substitutes spaces for
illegal characters.</p>
<p>It is not possible to retrieve the contents of a QLCDNumber
object, although you can retrieve the numeric value with <a href="qlcdnumber.html#value-prop">value</a>(). If you really need the
text, we recommend that you connect the signals that feed the
<a href="qlcdnumber.html#intValue-prop">display</a>() slot to
another slot as well and store the value there.</p>
<p>Incidentally, QLCDNumber is the very oldest part of Qt, tracing
its roots back to a BASIC program on the <a href="http://www.nvg.ntnu.no/sinclair/computers/zxspectrum/zxspectrum.htm">
Sinclair Spectrum</a>.</p>
