draw ticks pointing inwards while labels stay outside the plot area

[SimonSchmeisser]

Hi there,

I would like to have (or rather my boss wants it) a QwtPlot where the ticks of the scales point inwards while the labels stay outside like normal. So for the left yAxis it would be (left to right): label backbone ticks.

If I use

plot.axisScaleDraw(QwtPlot::yLeft)->setAlignment(QwtScaleDraw::RightScale);

plot.axisScaleDraw(QwtPlot::yLeft)->setAlignment(QwtScaleDraw::RightScale);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

the labels will end up inside the plot area (ie. backbone ticks labels).

I have been thinking about using

QwtPlotScaleItem *yLeft = new QwtPlotScaleItem(QwtScaleDraw::RightScale);
yLeft->attach(&plot);
yLeft->setPosition(-1);

QwtPlotScaleItem *yLeft = new QwtPlotScaleItem(QwtScaleDraw::RightScale);
yLeft->attach(&plot);
yLeft->setPosition(-1);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and having basically two scales, but I dont understand how to "attach" it to the left border of the plotarea.

Thanks a lot
Simon
