Problems with SetMajPen after upgrading QT to 4.8.4 and QWT6.1

[KenJustKen]

I just reinstalled OSX to the latest and upgraded QT(4.74->4.8.4) and QWT(6.01->6.1). After getting my project to compile I can finally run my code if I comment out a couple of qwt calls that I don't understand. Below is my code. I am getting the following compile errors

/Users/KenS/QT_Projects/ep1/plot.cpp:127: error: 'setMajPen' was not declared in this scope
/Users/KenS/QT_Projects/ep1/plot.cpp:128: error: 'setMinPen' was not declared in this scope

I did not get these errors before the upgrade. Does anyone have an idea of what I am doing wrong or what I could have not configured correctly when I rebuilt my machine?

What about spending 5 seconds on reading the 6.1 class documentation of QwtPlotGrid ?

I don't see anything different for this version. There are two methods for this call. One with a pen and one with all of the pen parameters. Here is a screen shot of the docs.

OK,
I see the difference now after looking at the code and docs. Very subtle changes in the names for 6.1 compared to previous version. in 6.1 SetMajPen now is called SetMajorPen Will fix on my side and try tonight when I get home.

[KenJustKen]

The SetMajorPen fixed this issue. I am now running into another difference between 6.01 and 6.1. canvas()->setBorderRadius( 10.0 ); is giving a compile error. However, canvas()->setPalette( Qt::darkGray ); is not. I have looked at the 6.1 docs and it says it is supported. The error I am getting is

In Qwt 6.1 QwtPlot::canvas() returns a QWidget - not a QwtPlotCanvas. The reason for this change is, that it is possible to have a QwtPlotGLCanvas or a QwtPlotCanvas.

You can use a cast, but I would expect that application code for Qwt 6.1 will be written like this:

QwtPlotCanvas canvas = new QwtPlotCanvas();
canvas->setXY( ... );
...
 
plot->setCanvas( canvas );

QwtPlotCanvas canvas = new QwtPlotCanvas();
canvas->setXY( ... );
...

plot->setCanvas( canvas );

Note that this modification makes it possible to overload virtual methods of the canvas, f.e all kind of event handlers - what had to be done with event filtering before.

Thanks for the information. I would not have figured this out myself.


I was able to get this to work. This is what I had to modify to make my code work. I tried to limit any change to my code to the bare minimum as I have a deadline to meet.

Add
#include <qwt_plot_canvas.h>

QwtPlotCanvas *pPlotCanvas;

Add/Change the code to this.
pPlotCanvas=(QwtPlotCanvas*)canvas();
pPlotCanvas->setBorderRadius( 10 );
