adding generic text to a legend

[flok]

Ok I succeeded in adding entries by:

void addToLegend(const QString & key, const QStringList & what, QwtAbstractLegend *const legend)
{
QList<QwtLegendData> list;

for(QStringList::const_iterator it = what.begin(); it != what.end(); it++) {
QwtLegendData data;
data.setValue(QwtLegendData::Role::TitleRole, QVariant(*it));

list << data;
}

legend->updateLegend(QVariant(key), list);
}

then I do:
QStringList le;
le.append("hello");
le.append("bicycle");
le.append("1");

addToLegend("key", le, graph -> legend());

Unfortunately when calling this, say, two times, the layout gets messed up: the order of the items becomes seemingly random.
Is there a way in which I can either sort them or keep them in the same order as added?
I also tried adding items individually and them giving them a key-in-order (a, b, c, etc) but that did not help.

Qwt is open source - you can check/debug what is going on in your case easily.
Maybe also have a look at the stockchart example, that shows how to implement a totally different type of legend.

HTH,
