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

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

      // copy the data into the curves
      curve1->setData(...);
      curve2->setData(...);

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

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

## Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QwtPlot::Axis

Axis index

- yLeft
- yRight
- xBottom
- xTop

enum QwtPlot::LegendPosition

Position of the legend, relative to the canvas.

- LeftLegend
  The legend will be left from the yLeft axis.
- RightLegend
  The legend will be right from the yLeft axis.
- BottomLegend
  The legend will be right below the xBottom axis.
- TopLegend
  The legend will be between xTop axis and the title.
- ExternalLegend
  External 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 ( or on the canvas ).

Note:
  In case of ExternalLegend, the legend is not printed by print().
