Something like this:

Qt Code:
  1. class TextItem: public QwtPlotItem
  2. {
  3. public:
  4. void setText( const QString &text )
  5. {
  6. m_text = text;
  7. }
  8.  
  9. virtual void draw( QPainter *painter,
  10. const QwtScaleMap &, const QwtScaleMap &,
  11. const QRectF &canvasRect ) const
  12. {
  13. painter->drawText( canvasRect, Qt::AlignCenter, m_text );
  14. }
  15.  
  16. private:
  17. QString m_text;
  18. };
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Attach this item to your plot like a curve and the draw method will be part of the plot image composition.
