    Default qwtWidgetOverlay going into left axis scale

    I'm trying to use a QwtWidgetOverlay for a rectangle that I'm using to highlight a plot region. The issue I'm having is that the overlay is not disappearing at the left edge of the plot, but being allowed to go all the way to the left edge of the y-axis scale / label.

    On the right edge of the plot, the overlay disappears properly at the plot's edge.



    My code puts a QwtPlotItem (the rectangle) inside of a QwtWidgetOverlay, and I'm using plot->canvas()->contentsRect() to get the canvas boundaries.

    Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

    Qt Code:
    1. class RectangleOverlay: public QwtPlotItem
    2. {
    3.  
    4. public:
    5. RectangleOverlay(QwtPlot *plot, const QwtText &title = QwtText());
    6. virtual ~RectangleOverlay();
    7.  
    8. virtual void draw (QPainter *painter,
    9. const QwtScaleMap &xMap,
    10. const QwtScaleMap &yMap,
    11. const QRectF &canvasRect) const override
    12. {
    13. int x1 = qRound(xMap.transform(m_interval.minValue()));
    14. int x2 = qRound(xMap.transform(m_interval.maxValue()));
    15.  
    16. // Fill color
    17. QColor blue("RoyalBlue");
    18. blue.setAlpha(125);
    19. QBrush brush(blue);
    20.  
    21. // Rectangle
    22. QPen pen("RoyalBlue");
    23. pen.setColor(pen.color().lighter());
    24. pen.setWidth(m_edgeWidth);
    25. painter->setPen(pen);
    26.  
    27. // Add penWidth's pixels to the top and bottom of the rectangle
    28. // so only the side lines are visible
    29. QRect overlayRect(x1, canvasRect.top()-m_edgeWidth, x2 - x1, canvasRect.height()+m_edgeWidth);
    30. painter->drawRect(overlayRect);
    31. painter->fillRect(overlayRect, brush);
    32. }
    33.  
    34. virtual QRectF boundingRect() const override
    35. {
    36. const QwtScaleMap xMap = m_plot->canvasMap(xAxis());
    37.  
    38. int x1 = qRound(xMap.transform(m_interval.minValue()));
    39. int x2 = qRound(xMap.transform(m_interval.maxValue()));
    40.  
    41. QRectF overlayRect(x1 - m_edgeWidth,
    42. m_plot->canvas()->contentsRect().top(),
    43. x2 - x1 + (2*m_edgeWidth),
    44. m_plot->canvas()->contentsRect().height());
    45.

    Use the plot canvas as parent.

    HTH,

    Thanks, Uwe, that fixed the bounding issue!

    However, a quick use-model question on QwtWidgetOverlay.

    I notice that in your Editor example you're attaching the QwtPlotItem directly to the canvas and then creating and destroying a temporary QwtWidgetOverlay when the item is moved.

    Is this the intended use-model?

    In my implementation, I never attach() the QwtPlotItem to the plot. I just manually call updateOverlay() whenever the overlay is dragged or moved or replot() is called.

    This seems to work fine but I'm wondering if I'm doing it wrong.

    Well, an overlay is not part of what is seen by QwtPlotRenderer.
