Overloading drawTracker is the correct idea. Start with this code:

Qt Code:
  1. void YourPicker::drawTracker( QPainter *painter ) const
  2. {
  3. const QRect textRect = trackerRect( painter->font() );
  4. if ( !textRect.isEmpty() )
  5. {
  6. QwtText label = trackerText( trackerPosition() );
  7. if ( !label.isEmpty() )
  8. label.draw( painter, textRect );
  9. }
  10. }
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

PS: QwtPicker::trackerRect is changed to virtual in SVN trunk
