Detailed Description

A class which draws a legend inside the plot canvas.

QwtPlotLegendItem can be used to draw a inside the plot canvas. It can be used together with a QwtLegend or instead of it to have more space for the plot canvas.

In opposite to QwtLegend the legend item is not interactive. To identify mouse clicks on a legend item an event filter needs to be installed catching mouse events ob the plot canvas. The geometries of the legend items are available using legendGeometries().

The legend item is aligned to plot canvas according to its alignment() flags. It might have a background for the complete legend ( usually semi transparent ) or for each legend item.

Note: An external QwtLegend with a transparent background on top the plot canvas might be another option with a similar effect.
