Qwt: How to create legends inside plots ?

[Comer352l]

Hi,

I'm trying to make my first steps with the Qwt library. Really nice library, but how can I create legends inside plots ?
AFAICS, the only options for QwtLegend are LeftLegend, RightLegend, BottomLegend, TopLegend, and ExternalLegend.
Do I have to use QLabels or QwtPlotMarkers ?
The result should look like the 2D-Line-Plot-legends in QtiPlot:
- a (transparent) box with a black line border
- one line for each curve inside
- each line looks like the the lines in QwtLegend (a short color horizontal line followed by the curves' title)
- the box should be movable with the mouse

I tried to "get into" QtiPlots' source code, but I'm still a C++ newbie and that's still to much for me...

Damn, I missed the Qwt sub-forum, sorry !
Could someone move this thread, please ? I don't want to create a duplicate...

Insert your legend as ExternalLegend and move it somewhere on top of your canvas.

I'm very busy these days and can't find some time to continue working on my application...
I just want to say thank you for your reply, I will try it as soon as possible.

How does one "move it" on top of the canvas? For example, if I wanted to modify the bode example to have the legend inside the canvas, how might I do that?

it is as normal as adding handling fram so make ExtendedLegend parent as plot and set geometry
