QwtPlotPanner makes plot look jumpy due to tick labels.

Youal ready got the answer im my previous mail.

The only thing that the previous mail answered is that to use minimumExtent. I don't understand how to make that work.

The difference is that I don't know if the tick label is going to be 5 pixels long or 50 pixels long and I don't want to set the minimumExtent to be 50 pixels all of the time. It seems like having the ability to make one of the methods above have a virtual function is the way to go.

Since you, Uwe, designed and wrote it, why didn't you make some of the functions virtual like the QwtScaleDraw::getBorderDistHint() function?
