    Default QwtPlotSpectroCurve: how to use triangles, squares, etc. instead of dot?

    Hi,

    this is my first message in this forum, and firstly - Uwe, great work (Qwt), many thanks!

    And now the question - it is in the thread title. For instance, I want two QwtPlotSpectroCurve on a plot: first with dots and second with triangles to distinguish them.

    Thanks

    Maybe subclass QwtPlotSpectroCurve and overload drawDots()...

    Thanks for your interest.

    drawPoints() can be used. After some preparation work, it calls QwtPainter::drawPoint() that may be replaced with something that draws what I need (triangle, rect, etc.).

    QwtPainter::drawPoint() is a wrapper for QPainter::drawPoint().
    QPainter::drawPoint() is non virtual.

    QwtPlotSpectroCurve is a plot item for 3d points where the z value is mapped to color. As this is obviously not what you need consider to derive from its base class ( = displaying 3d points somehow ) instead.

    In case of deriving from QwtPlotSpectroCurve you would have to overload QwtPlotSpectroCurve::drawDots() accepting that parts of the class API are left pointless.

    Uwe
