Detailed Description

A 2-D plotting widget.

QwtPlot is a widget for plotting two-dimensional graphs. An unlimited number of plot items can be displayed on its canvas. Plot items might be curves (QwtPlotCurve), markers (QwtPlotMarker), the grid (QwtPlotGrid), or anything else derived from QwtPlotItem. A plot can have up to four axes, with each plot item attached to an x- and a y axis. The scales at the axes can be explicitely set (QwtScaleDiv), or are calculated from the plot items, using algorithms (QwtScaleEngine) which can be configured separately for each axis.

Example
The following example shows (schematically) the most simple way to use QwtPlot. By default, only the left and bottom axes are visible and their scales are computed automatically.
#include <qwt_plot.h>
#include <qwt_plot_curve.h>

QwtPlot *myPlot;
double x[100], y1[100], y2[100];        // x and y values

myPlot = new QwtPlot("Two Curves", parent);

// add curves
QwtPlotCurve *curve1 = new QwtPlotCurve("Curve 1");
QwtPlotCurve *curve2 = new QwtPlotCurve("Curve 2");

getSomeValues(x, y1, y2);

// copy the data into the curves
curve1->setData(x, y1, 100);
curve2->setData(x, y2, 100);

curve1->attach(myPlot);
curve2->attach(myPlot);

// finally, refresh the plot
myPlot->replot();

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QwtPlot::Axis
 

Axis index.

Definition at line 87 of file qwt_plot.h.

enum QwtPlot::LegendPosition
 

Position of the legend, relative to the canvas.

ExternalLegend means that only the content of the legend will be handled by QwtPlot, but not its geometry. This might be interesting if an application wants to have a legend in an external window.

void QwtPlot::insertLegend QwtLegend legend,
QwtPlot::LegendPosition  pos = QwtPlot::RightLegend,
double  ratio = -1.0
 

Insert a legend.

If the position legend is QwtPlot::LeftLegend or QwtPlot::RightLegend the legend will be organized in one column from top to down. Otherwise the legend items will be placed be placed in a table with a best fit number of columns from left to right.

If pos != QwtPlot::ExternalLegend the plot widget will become parent of the legend. It will be deleted when the plot is deleted, or another legend is set with insertLegend().

Parameters:
legend Legend
pos The legend's position. For top/left position the number of colums will be limited to 1, otherwise it will be set to unlimited.
ratio Ratio between legend and the bounding rect of title, canvas and axes. The legend will be shrinked if it would need more space than the given ratio. The ratio is limited to ]0.0 .. 1.0]. In case of <= 0.0 it will be reset to the default ratio. The default vertical/horizontal ratio is 0.33/0.5.
