Updating QwtPlot colors

[DBoosalis]

I am trying to change the color of a QwtPlot through a user selection from a QColorDialog. The first time I change the color I see it in the Plot's canvas, but after that I do not see it. I know the code is getting executed but the color only changes for the first time. Any ideas on how to work around this.

I do something like this from my plot widget:

setCanvasBackground(bgColor);

Any info very much appreicated.

Have you checkout the qwt docs:
http://qwt.sourceforge.net/class_qwt_plot.html#adb0b2e68d86039f86e3240fb399fa0fe

Using canvas()->setPalette() is a more powerful way to set these colors.

or you can make a test with stylesheet technik, like:
QwtPlot::setStyleSheet(" QwtPlot {background-color: #FF0000}");
