Detailed Description

Abstract base class for legend widgets. Legends, that need to be under control of the QwtPlot layout system need to be derived from QwtAbstractLegend.

Note
    Other type of legends can be implemented by connecting to the QwtPlot::legendDataChanged() signal. But as these legends are unknown to the plot layout system the layout code ( on screen and for QwtPlotRenderer ) need to be organized in application code.
