    Default Hide QwtLegend after inserting it???

    Hi there...

    I am trying to hide the legend in my plot AFTER the insertion of it.
    I tried the hide() or setVisible() methods but they don't work with the legend!
    Is it somehow possible? Is there a method that helps on that?

    Using Qwt 6.0.1!!!

    Thanks in advance...

    Qt Code:
    1. plot->insertLegend( NULL );
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    HTH,

    Unfortunately it doesn't help Uwe...
    Program can't even start.
    Is there any possibility that this kind of functionality will get implemented in the future???

    It is implemented - whatever the reason of your crash is, you are the only one who can fix it.

    Correction

    It helps:
    Qt Code:
    1. plot->insertLegend( NULL );
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    I probably didn't compile the project clean.

    Thanks for the help...

    But what is a reason to not support show()/hide()? QwtAbstractLegend inherits QWidget, where show()/hide() are public methods. Ignoring show()/hide() breaks expected behavior. I am assuming this is due to QwtPlotLayout, which is not a QLayout.

    Qwt looks designed very well with high level of customization/flexibility. And there is so-called "naked" interface, where a component provides direct access to its subcomponents, rather then expose only subcomponents properties (and so have full cotrol over side effects). Being "naked", a component must fully observe its subcomponents (via signals, eventFilter(), weak pointers, etc.).

    So, one would expect
    Qt Code:
    1. legend->setParent(NULL)
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    acts the same as
    Qt Code:
    1. plot->insertLegend( NULL );
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    Is it OK, or breaks the code?

    Note: In the first case QwtPlot must observe its legend (e.g. via handling ChildRemoved events).

    Does Qwt have such observation everywhere in its code?
    Thanks, Alex
