Problems with vanishing ticks

[mwh]

Hello,

the following images describe the problem better than I could with words. In the first image, there is some data displayed. The last data point has an x value of 20.

The second image shows the same data, just shifted one pixel to the right.

As you can see, the tick with the "20" disappeared completly and leaves a blank space, although there is more than enough space apparently.

I am aware of the method QwtScaleEngine::setAttribute and we set the "Floating" attribute to true. Still the tick at the end disappears. I also checked the methods QwtScaleWidget::setMinBorderDist and QwtScaleWidget::setBorderDist and set all values to 0 (I tried even negative numbers), but it did not help at all.

We are using Qt 5.12 and Qwt 6.1.3.

Has anyone a solution for the problem?

QwtPlot does not offer scales, where the ticks go inwards - so this is probably custom code.

While it is true, that we customized some parts of the QwtPlot, the inside ticks are created with means from the qwt library only. We simply created a QwtPlotScaleItem with the opposite alignment for each axis (e.g. QwtScaleDraw::RightScale for QwtPlot::yLeft). Other features (like QwtScaleEngine) were not customized. So the positioning and visibility of the ticks are still calculated by the qwt engine.

And how is your scale item connected to which scale engine ?

Like this:

// This code is taken from your example code in the documention of QwtPlotScaleItem
auto scaleItem = new QwtPlotScaleItem(QwtScaleDraw::TopScale, 0.0);
scaleItem->setFont(plot->axisWidget(QwtPlot::xBottom)->font());
// This is the customized part
scaleItem->setXAxis(QwtPlot::xBottom);
scaleItem->setScaleDivFromAxis(true);
// This is from your documentation again
scaleItem->attach(plot);

// This code is taken from your example code in the documention of QwtPlotScaleItem
auto scaleItem = new QwtPlotScaleItem(QwtScaleDraw::TopScale, 0.0);
scaleItem->setFont(plot->axisWidget(QwtPlot::xBottom)->font());
// This is the customized part
scaleItem->setXAxis(QwtPlot::xBottom);
scaleItem->setScaleDivFromAxis(true);
// This is from your documentation again
scaleItem->attach(plot);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

According to your documentation the setSCaleDivFromAxis method synchronizes the scale item with the corresponding axis. Am I missing anything?

O.k. so you are using a scale item, that is fed by the scale engine of the bottom scale, but you gave no information about how this one is set up.
Maybe it makes more sense, that you upload a small compilable tarball demonstrating the problem.
