HOWTO: limit title in QwtPlotCurve?

[Astronomy]

Hello,

How can i limit the length of a title of instances of QwtPlotCurve's? (in a QwtPot..)
I have long file names so the title needs > 50% of the window -size. (see Atachement)
Or maybe it is possible to limit the horizontal scrollbar of the text?

i already tried a bit of:
http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/3196...itle-word-wrap
but without success,

like

...   
  QwtText Filename2(PlotFileName2);
    Filename2.setRenderFlags(Filename2.renderFlags() | Qt::TextWordWrap);
    Curve3->setTitle(Filename2);
    Curve3->title().renderFlags();
    Curve3->title().MinimumLayout;

...   
  QwtText Filename2(PlotFileName2);
    Filename2.setRenderFlags(Filename2.renderFlags() | Qt::TextWordWrap);
    Curve3->setTitle(Filename2);
    Curve3->title().renderFlags();
    Curve3->title().MinimumLayout;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

thanx in Advance Astronomy

Info:
until now i found
QwtLegend* legend = new QwtLegend(this);

and i'm trying with:
legend->setDisplayPolicy(..);
legend->setBaseSize(..)

I fixed it with:
http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/3121...-inconsistency.

QwtLegend* legend = new QwtLegend(this);
    legend->setMaximumWidth(100);
    legend->setMinimumWidth(100);
    legend->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Ignored, QSizePolicy::Ignored);
    insertLegend(legend, QwtPlot::RightLegend );

QwtLegend* legend = new QwtLegend(this);
    legend->setMaximumWidth(100);
    legend->setMinimumWidth(100);
    legend->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Ignored, QSizePolicy::Ignored);
    insertLegend(legend, QwtPlot::RightLegend );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but the legend uses always too much window-space
i'm searching again.. (-:

As I can see scrollbar below legend items a suggest to investigate your layout managment (QHBox, QSpaceritem and so on).

Thanx for the sugesstion,

The problem is: you could not edit QwtPlot with the Designer or it does not have a user interface - ui variable..

but i will look in that direction,
maybe in qwtplot.h , qwtplot.cpp are some public member functions which will fit in.
thanx Astronomy

The simples way to limit the title is to limit the title. It' s your application, that sets the title to the curve.

If this is not possible you have to derive from QwtPlotLegendItem and reimplement sizeHint(). Then overload QwtPlotCurve::legendItem(), where you return your derived item.

Thank you Uwe,

i'll try that.

(It's not possible to limit the title for me, because i'll calculate > 300 Models, and the settings are in the title for finding the right one again )
