In my zoomer class I also set the tracker:
Qt Code:
  1. virtual QwtText trackerText( const QwtDoublePoint& p ) const
  2. {
  3. QwtText t( QwtPlotPicker::trackerText( p ));
  4.  
  5. QColor c(Qt::white);
  6. c.setAlpha(180);
  7. t.setBackgroundBrush( QBrush(c) );
  8.  
  9. return t;
  10. }
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
This returns the axis coordinates.

I would also like to display the vlaue at the current point. However I do not know how to access this value at this point. The qwtPlot istself is known as the pointer 'plot' within the Zoomer class.
