Sidebar in QwtLegend

[itzwich]

Hallo,

ich have a QwtPlot and would like to have a QwtLegend which discripe the curves in my Plot.
If I insert the legend to my plot I get a scrollbar. How kann ich avoid this Scrollbar. I would like to have my legend in one Line without scrollbar.

My code:
QwtLegend* legend = new QwtLegend;
legend->setDefaultItemMode(QwtLegendData::Checkable);
legend->setFrameStyle(QFrame::Box | QFrame::Sunken);
QPalette pal = legend->palette();
pal.setColor(QPalette::Window, Qt::white);
legend->setPalette(pal);
legend->setAutoFillBackground(true);
ui->plot0->insertLegend(legend, QwtPlot::LeftLegend);

I hope erveryone can help me.

What happens when you increase the space the legend can take in your layout? AFAIK the scrollBar only appears when the legend exeeds the available space.

How can I increase the space?

Does the scrollBar always appear? Just realized that the legend it attached to the plot and no separate widget in a layout.
It seems that it's a known issue. As soon as the legend text is larger than a given size, the scrollBar appears, even if it makes the plot look a bit ugly.

Maybe this will help:

It works but now it cuts a part of the legend text
