/*! \class QCPScatterStyle
  \brief Represents the visual appearance of scatter points

  This class holds information about shape, color and size of scatter points. In plottables like
  QCPGraph it is used to store how scatter points shall be drawn. For example, \ref
  QCPGraph::setScatterStyle takes a QCPScatterStyle instance.

  A scatter style consists of a shape (\ref setShape), a line color (\ref setPen) and possibly a
  fill (\ref setBrush), if the shape provides a fillable area. Further, the size of the shape can
  be controlled with \ref setSize.

  \section QCPScatterStyle-defining Specifying a scatter style

  You can set all these configurations either by calling the respective functions on an instance:
  \code
  QCPScatterStyle myScatter;
  myScatter.setShape(QCPScatterStyle::ssCircle);
  myScatter.setPen(Qt::blue);
  myScatter.setBrush(Qt::white);
  myScatter.setSize(5);
  customPlot->graph(0)->setScatterStyle(myScatter);
  \endcode

  Or you can use one of the various constructors that take different parameter combinations, making
  it easy to specify a scatter style in a single call, like so:
  \code
  customPlot->graph(0)->setScatterStyle(QCPScatterStyle(QCPScatterStyle::ssCircle, Qt::blue, Qt::white, 5));
  \endcode

  \section QCPScatterStyle-undefinedpen Leaving the color/pen up to the plottable

  There are two constructors which leave the pen undefined: \ref QCPScatterStyle() and \ref
  QCPScatterStyle(ScatterShape shape, double size). If those constructors are used, a call to \ref
  isPenDefined will return false. It leads to scatter points that inherit the pen from the
  plottable that uses the scatter style. Thus, if such a scatter style is passed to QCPGraph, the line
  color of the graph (\ref QCPGraph::setPen) will be used by the scatter points. This makes
  it very convenient to set up typical scatter settings:

  \code
  customPlot->graph(0)->setScatterStyle(QCPScatterStyle::ssPlus);
  \endcode

  Notice that it wasn't even necessary to explicitly call a QCPScatterStyle constructor. This works
  because QCPScatterStyle provides a constructor that can transform a \ref ScatterShape directly
  into a QCPScatterStyle instance (that's the \ref QCPScatterStyle(ScatterShape shape, double size)
  constructor with a default for \a size). In those cases, C++ allows directly supplying a \ref
  ScatterShape, where actually a QCPScatterStyle is expected.

  \section QCPScatterStyle-custompath-and-pixmap Custom shapes and pixmaps

  QCPScatterStyle supports drawing custom shapes and arbitrary pixmaps as scatter points.

  For custom shapes, you can provide a QPainterPath with the desired shape to the \ref
  setCustomPath function or call the constructor that takes a painter path. The scatter shape will
  automatically be set to \ref ssCustom.

  For pixmaps, you call \ref setPixmap with the desired QPixmap. Alternatively you can use the
  constructor that takes a QPixmap. The scatter shape will automatically be set to \ref ssPixmap.
  Note that \ref setSize does not influence the appearance of the pixmap.
*/

/* start documentation of inline functions */

/*! \fn bool QCPScatterStyle::isNone() const

  Returns whether the scatter shape is \ref ssNone.

  \see setShape
*/

/*! \fn bool QCPScatterStyle::isPenDefined() const

  Returns whether a pen has been defined for this scatter style.

  The pen is undefined if a constructor is called that does not carry \a pen as parameter. Those are
  \ref QCPScatterStyle() and \ref QCPScatterStyle(ScatterShape shape, double size). If the pen is
  left undefined, the scatter color will be inherited from the plottable that uses this scatter
  style.

/*! \class QCPLayer
  \brief A layer that may contain objects, to control the rendering order
  
  The Layering system of QCustomPlot is the mechanism to control the rendering order of the
  elements inside the plot.
  
  It is based on the two classes QCPLayer and QCPLayerable. QCustomPlot holds an ordered list of
  one or more instances of QCPLayer (see QCustomPlot::addLayer, QCustomPlot::layer,
  QCustomPlot::moveLayer, etc.). When replotting, QCustomPlot goes through the list of layers
  bottom to top and successively draws the layerables of the layers.
  
  A QCPLayer contains an ordered list of QCPLayerable instances. QCPLayerable is an abstract base
  class from which almost all visible objects derive, like axes, grids, graphs, items, etc.
  
  Initially, QCustomPlot has five layers: "background", "grid", "main", "axes" and "legend" (in
  that order). The top two layers "axes" and "legend" contain the default axes and legend, so they
  will be drawn on top. In the middle, there is the "main" layer. It is initially empty and set as
  the current layer (see QCustomPlot::setCurrentLayer). This means, all new plottables, items etc.
  are created on this layer by default. Then comes the "grid" layer which contains the QCPGrid
  instances (which belong tightly to QCPAxis, see \ref QCPAxis::grid). The Axis rect background
  shall be drawn behind everything else, thus the default QCPAxisRect instance is placed on the
  "background" layer. Of course, the layer affiliation of the individual objects can be changed as
  required (\ref QCPLayerable::setLayer).
  
  Controlling the ordering of objects is easy: Create a new layer in the position you want it to
  be, e.g. above "main", with QCustomPlot::addLayer. Then set the current layer with
  QCustomPlot::setCurrentLayer to that new layer and finally create the objects normally. They will
  be placed on the new layer automatically, due to the current layer setting. Alternatively you
  could have also ignored the current layer setting and just moved the objects with
  QCPLayerable::setLayer to the desired layer after creating them.
  
  It is also possible to move whole layers. For example, If you want the grid to be shown in front
  of all plottables/items on the "main" layer, just move it above "main" with
  QCustomPlot::moveLayer.
  
  The rendering order within one layer is simply by order of creation or insertion. The item
  created last (or added last to the layer), is drawn on top of all other objects on that layer.
  
  When a layer is deleted, the objects on it are not deleted with it, but fall on the layer below
  the deleted layer, see QCustomPlot::removeLayer.

  This function applies the default antialiasing setting to the specified \a painter, using the
  function \ref applyAntialiasingHint. It is the antialiasing state the painter is put in, when
  \ref draw is called on the layerable. If the layerable has multiple entities whose antialiasing
  setting may be specified individually, this function should set the antialiasing state of the
  most prominent entity. In this case however, the \ref draw function usually calls the specialized
  versions of this function before drawing each entity, effectively overriding the setting of the
  default antialiasing hint.
  
  <b>First example:</b> QCPGraph has multiple entities that have an antialiasing setting: The graph
  line, fills, scatters and error bars. Those can be configured via QCPGraph::setAntialiased,
  QCPGraph::setAntialiasedFill, QCPGraph::setAntialiasedScatters etc. Consequently, there isn't
  only the QCPGraph::applyDefaultAntialiasingHint function (which corresponds to the graph line's
  antialiasing), but specialized ones like QCPGraph::applyFillAntialiasingHint and
  QCPGraph::applyScattersAntialiasingHint. So before drawing one of those entities, QCPGraph::draw
  calls the respective specialized applyAntialiasingHint function.
  
  <b>Second example:</b> QCPItemLine consists only of a line so there is only one antialiasing
  setting which can be controlled with QCPItemLine::setAntialiased. (This function is inherited by
  all layerables. The specialized functions, as seen on QCPGraph, must be added explicitly to the
  respective layerable subclass.) Consequently it only has the normal
  QCPItemLine::applyDefaultAntialiasingHint. The \ref QCPItemLine::draw function doesn't need to
  care about setting any antialiasing states, because the default antialiasing hint is already set
  on the painter when the \ref draw function is called, and that's the state it wants to draw the
  line with.

  This function is used to decide whether a click hits a layerable object or not.

  \a pos is a point in pixel coordinates on the QCustomPlot surface. This function returns the
  shortest pixel distance of this point to the object. If the object is either invisible or the
  distance couldn't be determined, -1.0 is returned. Further, if \a onlySelectable is true and the
  object is not selectable, -1.0 is returned, too.

  If the item is represented not by single lines but by an area like QCPItemRect or QCPItemText, a
  click inside the area returns a constant value greater zero (typically the selectionTolerance of
  the parent QCustomPlot multiplied by 0.99). If the click lies outside the area, this function
  returns -1.0.
  
  Providing a constant value for area objects allows selecting line objects even when they are
  obscured by such area objects, by clicking close to the lines (i.e. closer than
  0.99*selectionTolerance).
  
  The actual setting of the selection state is not done by this function. This is handled by the
  parent QCustomPlot when the mouseReleaseEvent occurs, and the finally selected object is notified
  via the selectEvent/deselectEvent methods.
  
  \a details is an optional output parameter. Every layerable subclass may place any information
  in \a details. This information will be passed to \ref selectEvent when the parent QCustomPlot
  decides on the basis of this selectTest call, that the object was successfully selected. The
  subsequent call to \ref selectEvent will carry the \a details. This is useful for multi-part
  objects (like QCPAxis). This way, a possibly complex calculation to decide which part was clicked
  is only done once in \ref selectTest. The result (i.e. the actually clicked part) can then be
  placed in \a details. So in the subsequent \ref selectEvent, the decision which part was
  selected doesn't have to be done a second time for a single selection operation.

/*! \page thelayoutsystem The Layout System
 
  The layout system is responsible for positioning and scaling layout elements such as axis rects,
  legends and plot titles in a QCustomPlot.

  \section layoutsystem-classesandmechanisms Classes and mechanisms
  
  The layout system is based on the abstract base class \ref QCPLayoutElement. All objects that
  take part in the layout system derive from this class, either directly or indirectly.
  
  Since QCPLayoutElement itself derives from \ref QCPLayerable, a layout element may draw its own
  content. However, it is perfectly possible for a layout element to only serve as a structuring
  and/or positioning element, not drawing anything on its own.
  
  \subsection layoutsystem-rects Rects of a layout element
  
  A layout element is a rectangular object described by two rects: the inner rect (\ref
  QCPLayoutElement::rect) and the outer rect (\ref QCPLayoutElement::setOuterRect). The inner rect
  is calculated automatically by applying the margin (\ref QCPLayoutElement::setMargins) inward
  from the outer rect. The inner rect is meant for main content while the margin area may either be
  left blank or serve for displaying peripheral graphics. For example, \ref QCPAxisRect positions
  the four main axes at the sides of the inner rect, so graphs end up inside it and the axis labels
  and tick labels are in the margin area.
  
  \subsection layoutsystem-margins Margins
  
  Each layout element may provide a mechanism to automatically determine its margins. Internally,
  this is realized with the \ref QCPLayoutElement::calculateAutoMargin function which takes a \ref
  QCP::MarginSide and returns an integer value which represents the ideal margin for the specified
  side. The automatic margin will be used on the sides specified in \ref
  QCPLayoutElement::setAutoMargins. By default, it is set to \ref QCP::msAll meaning automatic
  margin calculation is enabled for all four sides. In this case, a minimum margin may be set with
  \ref QCPLayoutElement::setMinimumMargins, to prevent the automatic margin mechanism from setting
  margins smaller than desired for a specific situation. If automatic margin calculation is unset
  for a specific side, the margin of that side can be controlled directy via \ref
  QCPLayoutElement::setMargins.
  
  If multiple layout ements are arranged next to or beneath each other, it may be desirable to
  align their inner rects on certain sides. Since they all might have different automatic margins,
  this usually isn't the case. The class \ref QCPMarginGroup and \ref
  QCPLayoutElement::setMarginGroup fix this by allowing to synchronize multiple margins. See the
  documentation there for details.
  
  \subsection layoutsystem-layout Layouts
  
  As mentioned, a QCPLayoutElement may have an arbitrary number of child layout elements and in
  princple can have the only purpose to manage/arrange those child elements. This is what the
  subclass \ref QCPLayout specializes on. It is a QCPLayoutElement itself but has no visual
  representation. It defines an interface to add, remove and manage child layout elements.
  QCPLayout isn't a usable layout though, it's an abstract base class that concrete layouts derive
  from, like \ref QCPLayoutGrid which arranges its child elements in a grid and \ref QCPLayoutInset
  which allows placing child elements freely inside its rect.
  
  Since a QCPLayout is a layout element itself, it may be placed inside other layouts. This way,
  complex hierarchies may be created, offering very flexible arrangements.

  child layout elements are placed inside the grid layout next to each other in cells (0, 0) and
  (0, 1).
  </div>
  </div>
  
  \subsection layoutsystem-plotlayout The top level plot layout
  
  Every QCustomPlot has one top level layout of type \ref QCPLayoutGrid. It is accessible via \ref
  QCustomPlot::plotLayout and contains (directly or indirectly via other sub-layouts) all layout
  elements in the QCustomPlot. By default, this top level grid layout contains a single cell which
  holds the main axis rect.
 
  \subsection layoutsystem-examples Examples
  
  <b>Adding a plot title</b> is a typical and simple case to demonstrate basic workings of the layout system.
  \code
  // first we create and prepare a plot title layout element:
  QCPPlotTitle *title = new QCPPlotTitle(customPlot);
  title->setText("Plot Title Example");
  title->setFont(QFont("sans", 12, QFont::Bold));
  // then we add it to the main plot layout:
  customPlot->plotLayout()->insertRow(0); // insert an empty row above the axis rect
  customPlot->plotLayout()->addElement(0, 0, title); // insert the title in the empty cell we just created
  \endcode
  \image html layoutsystem-addingplottitle.png

  <b>Arranging multiple axis rects</b> actually is the central purpose of the layout system.
  \code
  customPlot->plotLayout()->clear(); // let's start from scratch and remove the default axis rect
  // add the first axis rect in second row (row index 1):
  customPlot->plotLayout()->addElement(1, 0, new QCPAxisRect(customPlot));
  // create a sub layout that we'll place in first row:
  QCPLayoutGrid *subLayout = new QCPLayoutGrid;
  customPlot->plotLayout()->addElement(0, 0, subLayout);
  // add two axis rects in the sub layout next to eachother:
  subLayout->addElement(0, 0, new QCPAxisRect(customPlot));
  subLayout->addElement(0, 1, new QCPAxisRect(customPlot));
  subLayout->setColumnStretchFactor(0, 3); // left axis rect shall have 60% of width
  subLayout->setColumnStretchFactor(1, 2); // right one only 40% (3:2 = 60:40)
  \endcode

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//////////////////// QCPMarginGroup
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

/*! \class QCPMarginGroup
  \brief A margin group allows synchronization of margin sides if working with multiple layout elements.
  
  QCPMarginGroup allows you to tie a margin side of two or more layout elements together, such that
  they will all have the same size, based on the largest required margin in the group.
  
  \n
  \image html QCPMarginGroup.png "Demonstration of QCPMarginGroup"
  \n
  
  In certain situations it is desirable that margins at specific sides are synchronized across
  layout elements. For example, if one QCPAxisRect is below another one in a grid layout, it will
  provide a cleaner look to the user if the left and right margins of the two axis rects are of the
  same size. The left axis of the top axis rect will then be at the same horizontal position as the
  left axis of the lower axis rect, making them appear aligned. The same applies for the right
  axes. This is what QCPMarginGroup makes possible.
  
  To add/remove a specific side of a layout element to/from a margin group, use the \ref
  QCPLayoutElement::setMarginGroup method. To completely break apart the margin group, either call
  \ref clear, or just delete the margin group.
  
  \section QCPMarginGroup-example Example
  
  First create a margin group:
  \code 
  QCPMarginGroup *group = new QCPMarginGroup(customPlot);
  \endcode
  Then set this group on the layout element sides:
  \code
  customPlot->axisRect(0)->setMarginGroup(QCP::msLeft|QCP::msRight, group);
  customPlot->axisRect(1)->setMarginGroup(QCP::msLeft|QCP::msRight, group);
  \endcode
  Here, we've used the first two axis rects of the plot and synchronized their left margins with
  each other and their right margins with each other.

/*! \class QCPLayoutElement
  \brief The abstract base class for all objects that form \ref thelayoutsystem "the layout system".
  
  This is an abstract base class. As such, it can't be instantiated directly, rather use one of its subclasses.
  
  A Layout element is a rectangular object which can be placed in layouts. It has an outer rect
  (QCPLayoutElement::outerRect) and an inner rect (\ref QCPLayoutElement::rect). The difference
  between outer and inner rect is called its margin. The margin can either be set to automatic or
  manual (\ref setAutoMargins) on a per-side basis. If a side is set to manual, that margin can be
  set explicitly with \ref setMargins and will stay fixed at that value. If it's set to automatic,
  the layout element subclass will control the value itself (via \ref calculateAutoMargin).
  
  Layout elements can be placed in layouts (base class QCPLayout) like QCPLayoutGrid. The top level
  layout is reachable via \ref QCustomPlot::plotLayout, and is a \ref QCPLayoutGrid. Since \ref
  QCPLayout itself derives from \ref QCPLayoutElement, layouts can be nested.
  
  Thus in QCustomPlot one can divide layout elements into two categories: The ones that are
  invisible by themselves, because they don't draw anything. Their only purpose is to manage the
  position and size of other layout elements. This category of layout elements usually use
  QCPLayout as base class. Then there is the category of layout elements which actually draw
  something. For example, QCPAxisRect, QCPLegend and QCPPlotTitle are of this category. This does
  not necessarily mean that the latter category can't have child layout elements. QCPLegend for
  instance, actually derives from QCPLayoutGrid and the individual legend items are child layout
  elements in the grid layout.

/*! \fn QRect QCPLayoutElement::rect() const
  
  Returns the inner rect of this layout element. The inner rect is the outer rect (\ref
  setOuterRect) shrinked by the margins (\ref setMargins, \ref setAutoMargins).
  
  In some cases, the area between outer and inner rect is left blank. In other cases the margin
  area is used to display peripheral graphics while the main content is in the inner rect. This is
  where automatic margin calculation becomes interesting because it allows the layout element to
  adapt the margins to the peripheral graphics it wants to draw. For example, \ref QCPAxisRect
  draws the axis labels and tick labels in the margin area, thus needs to adjust the margins (if
  \ref setAutoMargins is enabled) according to the space required by the labels of the axes.

/*! \class QCPLayout
  \brief The abstract base class for layouts
  
  This is an abstract base class for layout elements whose main purpose is to define the position
  and size of other child layout elements. In most cases, layouts don't draw anything themselves
  (but there are exceptions to this, e.g. QCPLegend).
  
  QCPLayout derives from QCPLayoutElement, and thus can itself be nested in other layouts.
  
  QCPLayout introduces a common interface for accessing and manipulating the child elements. Those
  functions are most notably \ref elementCount, \ref elementAt, \ref takeAt, \ref take, \ref
  simplify, \ref removeAt, \ref remove and \ref clear. Individual subclasses may add more functions
  to this interface which are more specialized to the form of the layout. For example, \ref
  QCPLayoutGrid adds functions that take row and column indices to access cells of the layout grid
  more conveniently.
  
  Since this is an abstract base class, you can't instantiate it directly. Rather use one of its
  subclasses like QCPLayoutGrid or QCPLayoutInset.
  
  For a general introduction to the layout system, see the dedicated documentation page \ref
  thelayoutsystem "The Layout System".

  This is a helper function for the implementation of \ref updateLayout in subclasses.
  
  It calculates the sizes of one-dimensional sections with provided constraints on maximum section
  sizes, minimum section sizes, relative stretch factors and the final total size of all sections.
  
  The QVector entries refer to the sections. Thus all QVectors must have the same size.
  
  \a maxSizes gives the maximum allowed size of each section. If there shall be no maximum size
  imposed, set all vector values to Qt's QWIDGETSIZE_MAX.
  
  \a minSizes gives the minimum allowed size of each section. If there shall be no minimum size
  imposed, set all vector values to zero. If the \a minSizes entries add up to a value greater than
  \a totalSize, sections will be scaled smaller than the proposed minimum sizes. (In other words,
  not exceeding the allowed total size is taken to be more important than not going below minimum
  section sizes.)
  
  \a stretchFactors give the relative proportions of the sections to each other. If all sections
  shall be scaled equally, set all values equal. If the first section shall be double the size of
  each individual other section, set the first number of \a stretchFactors to double the value of
  the other individual values (e.g. {2, 1, 1, 1}).
  
  \a totalSize is the value that the final section sizes will add up to. Due to rounding, the
  actual sum may differ slightly. If you want the section sizes to sum up to exactly that value,
  you could distribute the remaining difference on the sections.
  
  The return value is a QVector containing the section sizes.

  Elements are laid out in a grid with configurable stretch factors (\ref setColumnStretchFactor,

  Elements can be added to cells via \ref addElement. The grid is expanded if the specified row or

/*! \class QCPLayoutInset
  \brief A layout that places child elements aligned to the border or arbitrarily positioned
  
  Elements are placed either aligned to the border or at arbitrary position in the area of the
  layout. Which placement applies is controlled with the \ref InsetPlacement (\ref
  setInsetPlacement).

  Elements are added via \ref addElement(QCPLayoutElement *element, Qt::Alignment alignment) or
  addElement(QCPLayoutElement *element, const QRectF &rect). If the first method is used, the inset
  placement will default to \ref ipBorderAligned and the element will be aligned according to the
  \a alignment parameter. The second method defaults to \ref ipFree and allows placing elements at
  arbitrary position and size, defined by \a rect.
  
  The alignment or rect can be set via \ref setInsetAlignment or \ref setInsetRect, respectively.
  
  This is the layout that every QCPAxisRect has as \ref QCPAxisRect::insetLayout.

/*! \class QCPLineEnding
  \brief Handles the different ending decorations for line-like items
  
  \image html QCPLineEnding.png "The various ending styles currently supported"
  
  For every ending a line-like item has, an instance of this class exists. For example, QCPItemLine
  has two endings which can be set with QCPItemLine::setHead and QCPItemLine::setTail.
 
  The styles themselves are defined via the enum QCPLineEnding::EndingStyle. Most decorations can
  be modified regarding width and length, see \ref setWidth and \ref setLength. The direction of
  the ending decoration (e.g. direction an arrow is pointing) is controlled by the line-like item.
  For example, when both endings of a QCPItemLine are set to be arrows, they will point to opposite
  directions, e.g. "outward". This can be changed by \ref setInverted, which would make the
  respective arrow point inward.
  
  Note that due to the overloaded QCPLineEnding constructor, you may directly specify a
  QCPLineEnding::EndingStyle where actually a QCPLineEnding is expected, e.g. \code
  myItemLine->setHead(QCPLineEnding::esSpikeArrow) \endcode

  QString::number() and QLocale::toString(). For reference about that, see the "Argument Formats"
  section in the detailed description of the QString class. \a formatCode is a string of one, two
  or three characters. The first character is identical to the normal format code used by Qt. In
  short, this means: 'e'/'E' scientific format, 'f' fixed format, 'g'/'G' scientific or fixed,
  whichever is shorter.
  
  The second and third characters are optional and specific to QCustomPlot:\n
  If the first char was 'e' or 'g', numbers are/might be displayed in the scientific format, e.g.
  "5.5e9", which is ugly in a plot. So when the second char of \a formatCode is set to 'b' (for
  "beautiful"), those exponential numbers are formatted in a more natural way, i.e. "5.5
  [multiplication sign] 10 [superscript] 9". By default, the multiplication sign is a centered dot.
  If instead a cross should be shown (as is usual in the USA), the third char of \a formatCode can
  be set to 'c'. The inserted multiplication signs are the UTF-8 characters 215 (0xD7) for the
  cross and 183 (0xB7) for the dot.
  
  If the scale type (\ref setScaleType) is \ref stLogarithmic and the \a formatCode uses the 'b'
  option (beautifully typeset decimal powers), the display usually is "1 [multiplication sign] 10
  [superscript] n", which looks unnatural for logarithmic scaling (the "1 [multiplication sign]"
  part). To only display the decimal power, set the number precision to zero with \ref
  setNumberPrecision.
  
  Examples for \a formatCode:
  \li \c g normal format code behaviour. If number is small, fixed format is used, if number is large,
  normal scientific format is used
  \li \c gb If number is small, fixed format is used, if number is large, scientific format is used with
  beautifully typeset decimal powers and a dot as multiplication sign
  \li \c ebc All numbers are in scientific format with beautifully typeset decimal power and a cross as
  multiplication sign
  \li \c fb illegal format code, since fixed format doesn't support (or need) beautifully typeset decimal
  powers. Format code will be reduced to 'f'.
  \li \c hello illegal format code, since first char is not 'e', 'E', 'f', 'g' or 'G'. Current format
  code will not be changed.

  Draws a single tick label with the provided \a painter, utilizing the internal label cache to
  significantly speed up drawing of labels that were drawn in previous calls. The tick label is
  always bound to an axis, the distance to the axis is controllable via \a distanceToAxis in
  pixels. The pixel position in the axis direction is passed in the \a position parameter. Hence
  for the bottom axis, \a position would indicate the horizontal pixel position (not coordinate),
  at which the label should be drawn.
  
  In order to later draw the axis label in a place that doesn't overlap with the tick labels, the
  largest tick label size is needed. This is acquired by passing a \a tickLabelsSize to the \ref
  drawTickLabel calls during the process of drawing all tick labels of one axis. In every call, \a
  tickLabelsSize is expanded, if the drawn label exceeds the value \a tickLabelsSize currently
  holds.
  
  The label is drawn with the font and pen that are currently set on the \a painter. To draw
  superscripted powers, the font is temporarily made smaller by a fixed factor (see \ref
  getTickLabelData).

/*! \class QCPAbstractPlottable
  \brief The abstract base class for all data representing objects in a plot.

  It defines a very basic interface like name, pen, brush, visibility etc. Since this class is
  abstract, it can't be instantiated. Use one of the subclasses or create a subclass yourself to
  create new ways of displaying data (see "Creating own plottables" below).
  
  All further specifics are in the subclasses, for example:
  \li A normal graph with possibly a line, scatter points and error bars is displayed by \ref QCPGraph
  (typically created with \ref QCustomPlot::addGraph).
  \li A parametric curve can be displayed with \ref QCPCurve.
  \li A stackable bar chart can be achieved with \ref QCPBars.
  \li A box of a statistical box plot is created with \ref QCPStatisticalBox.
  
  \section plottables-subclassing Creating own plottables
  
  To create an own plottable, you implement a subclass of QCPAbstractPlottable. These are the pure
  virtual functions, you must implement:
  \li \ref clearData
  \li \ref selectTest
  \li \ref draw
  \li \ref drawLegendIcon
  \li \ref getKeyRange
  \li \ref getValueRange
  
  See the documentation of those functions for what they need to do.
  
  For drawing your plot, you can use the \ref coordsToPixels functions to translate a point in plot
  coordinates to pixel coordinates. This function is quite convenient, because it takes the
  orientation of the key and value axes into account for you (x and y are swapped when the key axis
  is vertical and the value axis horizontal). If you are worried about performance (i.e. you need
  to translate many points in a loop like QCPGraph), you can directly use \ref
  QCPAxis::coordToPixel. However, you must then take care about the orientation of the axis
  yourself.
  
  Here are some important members you inherit from QCPAbstractPlottable:
  <table>
  <tr>
    <td>QCustomPlot *\b mParentPlot</td>
    <td>A pointer to the parent QCustomPlot instance. The parent plot is inferred from the axes that are passed in the constructor.</td>
  </tr><tr>
    <td>QString \b mName</td>
    <td>The name of the plottable.</td>
  </tr><tr>
    <td>QPen \b mPen</td>
    <td>The generic pen of the plottable. You should use this pen for the most prominent data representing lines in the plottable (e.g QCPGraph uses this pen for its graph lines and scatters)</td>
  </tr><tr>
    <td>QPen \b mSelectedPen</td>
    <td>The generic pen that should be used when the plottable is selected (hint: \ref mainPen gives you the right pen, depending on selection state).</td>
  </tr><tr>
    <td>QBrush \b mBrush</td>
    <td>The generic brush of the plottable. You should use this brush for the most prominent fillable structures in the plottable (e.g. QCPGraph uses this brush to control filling under the graph)</td>
  </tr><tr>
    <td>QBrush \b mSelectedBrush</td>
    <td>The generic brush that should be used when the plottable is selected (hint: \ref mainBrush gives you the right brush, depending on selection state).</td>
  </tr><tr>
    <td>QPointer<QCPAxis>\b mKeyAxis, \b mValueAxis</td>
    <td>The key and value axes this plottable is attached to. Call their QCPAxis::coordToPixel functions to translate coordinates to pixels in either the key or value dimension.
        Make sure to check whether the pointer is null before using it. If one of the axes is null, don't draw the plottable.</td>
  </tr><tr>
    <td>bool \b mSelected</td>
    <td>indicates whether the plottable is selected or not.</td>
  </tr>

/*! \class QCPItemAnchor
  \brief An anchor of an item to which positions can be attached to.
  
  An item (QCPAbstractItem) may have one or more anchors. Unlike QCPItemPosition, an anchor doesn't
  control anything on its item, but provides a way to tie other items via their positions to the
  anchor.

  For example, a QCPItemRect is defined by its positions \a topLeft and \a bottomRight.
  Additionally it has various anchors like \a top, \a topRight or \a bottomLeft etc. So you can
  attach the \a start (which is a QCPItemPosition) of a QCPItemLine to one of the anchors by
  calling QCPItemPosition::setParentAnchor on \a start, passing the wanted anchor of the
  QCPItemRect. This way the start of the line will now always follow the respective anchor location
  on the rect item.
  
  Note that QCPItemPosition derives from QCPItemAnchor, so every position can also serve as an
  anchor to other positions.
  
  To learn how to provide anchors in your own item subclasses, see the subclassing section of the
  QCPAbstractItem documentation.

/*! \class QCPItemPosition
  \brief Manages the position of an item.
  
  Every item has at least one public QCPItemPosition member pointer which provides ways to position the
  item on the QCustomPlot surface. Some items have multiple positions, for example QCPItemRect has two:
  \a topLeft and \a bottomRight.

  QCPItemPosition has a type (\ref PositionType) that can be set with \ref setType. This type defines
  how coordinates passed to \ref setCoords are to be interpreted, e.g. as absolute pixel coordinates, as
  plot coordinates of certain axes, etc.

  Further, QCPItemPosition may have a parent QCPItemAnchor, see \ref setParentAnchor. (Note that every
  QCPItemPosition inherits from QCPItemAnchor and thus can itself be used as parent anchor for other
  positions.) This way you can tie multiple items together. If the QCPItemPosition has a parent, the
  coordinates set with \ref setCoords are considered to be absolute values in the reference frame of the

  the \a start position of a QCPItemLine to the \a bottom anchor of a QCPItemText to make the starting
  point of the line always be centered under the text label, no matter where the text is moved to, or is
  itself tied to.

  To set the apparent pixel position on the QCustomPlot surface directly, use \ref setPixelPoint. This
  works no matter what type this QCPItemPosition is or what parent-child situation it is in, as \ref
  setPixelPoint transforms the coordinates appropriately, to make the position appear at the specified
  pixel values.

/*! \class QCPAbstractItem
  \brief The abstract base class for all items in a plot.
  
  In QCustomPlot, items are supplemental graphical elements that are neither plottables
  (QCPAbstractPlottable) nor axes (QCPAxis). While plottables are always tied to two axes and thus
  plot coordinates, items can also be placed in absolute coordinates independent of any axes. Each
  specific item has at least one QCPItemPosition member which controls the positioning. Some items
  are defined by more than one coordinate and thus have two or more QCPItemPosition members (For
  example, QCPItemRect has \a topLeft and \a bottomRight).
  
  This abstract base class defines a very basic interface like visibility and clipping. Since this
  class is abstract, it can't be instantiated. Use one of the subclasses or create a subclass
  yourself to create new items.
  
  The built-in items are:
  <table>
  <tr><td>QCPItemLine</td><td>A line defined by a start and an end point. May have different ending styles on each side (e.g. arrows).</td></tr>
  <tr><td>QCPItemStraightLine</td><td>A straight line defined by a start and a direction point. Unlike QCPItemLine, the straight line is infinitely long and has no endings.</td></tr>
  <tr><td>QCPItemCurve</td><td>A curve defined by start, end and two intermediate control points. May have different ending styles on each side (e.g. arrows).</td></tr>
  <tr><td>QCPItemRect</td><td>A rectangle</td></tr>
  <tr><td>QCPItemEllipse</td><td>An ellipse</td></tr>
  <tr><td>QCPItemPixmap</td><td>An arbitrary pixmap</td></tr>
  <tr><td>QCPItemText</td><td>A text label</td></tr>
  <tr><td>QCPItemBracket</td><td>A bracket which may be used to reference/highlight certain parts in the plot.</td></tr>
  <tr><td>QCPItemTracer</td><td>An item that can be attached to a QCPGraph and sticks to its data points, given a key coordinate.</td></tr>
  </table>
  
  Items are by default clipped to the main axis rect. To make an item visible outside that axis
  rect, disable clipping via \ref setClipToAxisRect.
  
  \section items-using Using items
  
  First you instantiate the item you want to use and add it to the plot:
  \code
  QCPItemLine *line = new QCPItemLine(customPlot);
  customPlot->addItem(line);
  \endcode
  by default, the positions of the item are bound to the x- and y-Axis of the plot. So we can just
  set the plot coordinates where the line should start/end:
  \code
  line->start->setCoords(-0.1, 0.8);
  line->end->setCoords(1.1, 0.2);
  \endcode
  If we don't want the line to be positioned in plot coordinates but a different coordinate system,
  e.g. absolute pixel positions on the QCustomPlot surface, we need to change the position type like this:
  \code
  line->start->setType(QCPItemPosition::ptAbsolute);
  line->end->setType(QCPItemPosition::ptAbsolute);
  \endcode
  Then we can set the coordinates, this time in pixels:
  \code
  line->start->setCoords(100, 200);
  line->end->setCoords(450, 320);
  \endcode
  
  \section items-subclassing Creating own items
  
  To create an own item, you implement a subclass of QCPAbstractItem. These are the pure
  virtual functions, you must implement:
  \li \ref selectTest
  \li \ref draw
  
  See the documentation of those functions for what they need to do.
  
  \subsection items-positioning Allowing the item to be positioned
  
  As mentioned, item positions are represented by QCPItemPosition members. Let's assume the new item shall
  have only one point as its position (as opposed to two like a rect or multiple like a polygon). You then add
  a public member of type QCPItemPosition like so:
  
  \code QCPItemPosition * const myPosition;\endcode
  
  the const makes sure the pointer itself can't be modified from the user of your new item (the QCPItemPosition
  instance it points to, can be modified, of course).
  The initialization of this pointer is made easy with the \ref createPosition function. Just assign
  the return value of this function to each QCPItemPosition in the constructor of your item. \ref createPosition
  takes a string which is the name of the position, typically this is identical to the variable name.
  For example, the constructor of QCPItemExample could look like this:
  
  \code
  QCPItemExample::QCPItemExample(QCustomPlot *parentPlot) :
    QCPAbstractItem(parentPlot),
    myPosition(createPosition("myPosition"))
  {
    // other constructor code
  }
  \endcode
  
  \subsection items-drawing The draw function
  
  To give your item a visual representation, reimplement the \ref draw function and use the passed
  QCPPainter to draw the item. You can retrieve the item position in pixel coordinates from the
  position member(s) via \ref QCPItemPosition::pixelPoint.

  To optimize performance you should calculate a bounding rect first (don't forget to take the pen
  width into account), check whether it intersects the \ref clipRect, and only draw the item at all
  if this is the case.
  
  \subsection items-selection The selectTest function
  
  Your implementation of the \ref selectTest function may use the helpers \ref distSqrToLine and
  \ref rectSelectTest. With these, the implementation of the selection test becomes significantly
  simpler for most items. See the documentation of \ref selectTest for what the function parameters
  mean and what the function should return.
  
  \subsection anchors Providing anchors
  
  Providing anchors (QCPItemAnchor) starts off like adding a position. First you create a public
  member, e.g.
  
  \code QCPItemAnchor * const bottom;\endcode

  and create it in the constructor with the \ref createAnchor function, assigning it a name and an
  anchor id (an integer enumerating all anchors on the item, you may create an own enum for this).
  Since anchors can be placed anywhere, relative to the item's position(s), your item needs to
  provide the position of every anchor with the reimplementation of the \ref anchorPixelPoint(int
  anchorId) function.
  
  In essence the QCPItemAnchor is merely an intermediary that itself asks your item for the pixel
  position when anything attached to the anchor needs to know the coordinates.

/*! \mainpage %QCustomPlot 1.1.1 Documentation

  \image html qcp-doc-logo.png
  
  Below is a brief overview of and guide to the classes and their relations. If you are new to
  QCustomPlot and just want to start using it, it's recommended to look at the tutorials and
  examples at
 
  http://www.qcustomplot.com/
 
  This documentation is especially helpful as a reference, when you're familiar with the basic
  concept of how to use %QCustomPlot and you wish to learn more about specific functionality.
  See the \ref classoverview "class overview" for diagrams explaining the relationships between
  the most important classes of the QCustomPlot library.
  
  The central widget which displays the plottables and axes on its surface is QCustomPlot. Every
  QCustomPlot contains four axes by default. They can be accessed via the members \ref
  QCustomPlot::xAxis "xAxis", \ref QCustomPlot::yAxis "yAxis", \ref QCustomPlot::xAxis2 "xAxis2"
  and \ref QCustomPlot::yAxis2 "yAxis2", and are of type QCPAxis. QCustomPlot supports an arbitrary
  number of axes and axis rects, see the documentation of QCPAxisRect for details.

  \section mainpage-plottables Plottables
  
  \a Plottables are classes that display any kind of data inside the QCustomPlot. They all derive
  from QCPAbstractPlottable. For example, the QCPGraph class is a plottable that displays a graph
  inside the plot with different line styles, scatter styles, filling etc.
  
  Since plotting graphs is such a dominant use case, QCustomPlot has a special interface for working
  with QCPGraph plottables, that makes it very easy to handle them:\n
  You create a new graph with QCustomPlot::addGraph and access them with QCustomPlot::graph.
  
  For all other plottables, you need to use the normal plottable interface:\n
  First, you create an instance of the plottable you want, e.g.
  \code
  QCPCurve *newCurve = new QCPCurve(customPlot->xAxis, customPlot->yAxis);\endcode
  add it to the customPlot:
  \code
  customPlot->addPlottable(newCurve);\endcode
  and then modify the properties of the newly created plottable via the <tt>newCurve</tt> pointer.
  
  Plottables (including graphs) can be retrieved via QCustomPlot::plottable. Since the return type
  of that function is the abstract base class of all plottables, QCPAbstractPlottable, you will
  probably want to qobject_cast the returned pointer to the respective plottable subclass. (As
  usual, if the cast returns zero, the plottable wasn't of that specific subclass.)
  
  All further interfacing with plottables (e.g how to set data) is specific to the plottable type.
  See the documentations of the subclasses: QCPGraph, QCPCurve, QCPBars, QCPStatisticalBox.

  \section mainpage-axes Controlling the Axes
  
  As mentioned, QCustomPlot has four axes by default: \a xAxis (bottom), \a yAxis (left), \a xAxis2
  (top), \a yAxis2 (right).
  
  Their range is handled by the simple QCPRange class. You can set the range with the
  QCPAxis::setRange function. By default, the axes represent a linear scale. To set a logarithmic
  scale, set \ref QCPAxis::setScaleType to \ref QCPAxis::stLogarithmic. The logarithm base can be set freely
  with \ref QCPAxis::setScaleLogBase.
  
  By default, an axis automatically creates and labels ticks in a sensible manner. See the
  following functions for tick manipulation:\n QCPAxis::setTicks, QCPAxis::setAutoTicks,
  QCPAxis::setAutoTickCount, QCPAxis::setAutoTickStep, QCPAxis::setTickLabels,
  QCPAxis::setTickLabelType, QCPAxis::setTickLabelRotation, QCPAxis::setTickStep,
  QCPAxis::setTickLength,...
  
  Each axis can be given an axis label (e.g. "Voltage (mV)") with QCPAxis::setLabel.
  
  The distance of an axis backbone to the respective viewport border is called its margin.
  Normally, the margins are calculated automatically. To change this, set
  \ref QCPAxisRect::setAutoMargins to exclude the respective margin sides, set the margins manually with
  \ref QCPAxisRect::setMargins. The main axis rect can be reached with \ref QCustomPlot::axisRect().
  
  \section mainpage-legend Plot Legend
  
  Every QCustomPlot owns one QCPLegend (as \a legend) by default. A legend is a small layout
  element inside the plot which lists the plottables with an icon of the plottable line/symbol and
  a description. The Description is retrieved from the plottable name
  (QCPAbstractPlottable::setName). Plottables can be added and removed from the legend via \ref
  QCPAbstractPlottable::addToLegend and \ref QCPAbstractPlottable::removeFromLegend. By default,
  adding a plottable to QCustomPlot automatically adds it to the legend, too. This behaviour can be
  modified with the QCustomPlot::setAutoAddPlottableToLegend property.
  
  The QCPLegend provides an interface to access, add and remove legend items directly, too. See
  QCPLegend::item, QCPLegend::itemWithPlottable, QCPLegend::addItem, QCPLegend::removeItem for
  example.
  
  Multiple legends are supported via the layout system (as a QCPLegend simply is a normal layout
  element).
  
  \section mainpage-userinteraction User Interactions
  
  QCustomPlot supports dragging axis ranges with the mouse (\ref
  QCPAxisRect::setRangeDrag), zooming axis ranges with the mouse wheel (\ref
  QCPAxisRect::setRangeZoom) and a complete selection mechanism.
  
  The availability of these interactions is controlled with \ref QCustomPlot::setInteractions. For
  details about the interaction system, see the documentation there.
  
  Further, QCustomPlot always emits corresponding signals, when objects are clicked or
  doubleClicked. See \ref QCustomPlot::plottableClick, \ref QCustomPlot::plottableDoubleClick
  and \ref QCustomPlot::axisClick for example.
  
  \section mainpage-items Items
  
  Apart from plottables there is another category of plot objects that are important: Items. The
  base class of all items is QCPAbstractItem. An item sets itself apart from plottables in that
  it's not necessarily bound to any axes. This means it may also be positioned in absolute pixel
  coordinates or placed at a relative position on an axis rect. Further, it usually doesn't
  represent data directly, but acts as decoration, emphasis, description etc.
  
  Multiple items can be arranged in a parent-child-hierarchy allowing for dynamical behaviour. For
  example, you could place the head of an arrow at a fixed plot coordinate, so it always points to
  some important area in the plot. The tail of the arrow can be anchored to a text item which
  always resides in the top center of the axis rect, independent of where the user drags the axis
  ranges. This way the arrow stretches and turns so it always points from the label to the
  specified plot coordinate, without any further code necessary.
  
  For a more detailed introduction, see the QCPAbstractItem documentation, and from there the
  documentations of the individual built-in items, to find out how to use them.
  
  \section mainpage-layoutelements Layout elements and layouts
  
  QCustomPlot uses an internal layout system to provide dynamic sizing and positioning of objects like
  the axis rect(s), legends and the plot title. They are all based on \ref QCPLayoutElement and are arranged by
  placing them inside a \ref QCPLayout.
  
  Details on this topic are given on the dedicated page about \link thelayoutsystem the layout system\endlink.
  
  \section mainpage-performancetweaks Performance Tweaks
  
  Although QCustomPlot is quite fast, some features like translucent fills, antialiasing and thick
  lines can cause a significant slow down. If you notice this in your application, here are some
  thoughts on how to increase performance. By far the most time is spent in the drawing functions,
  specifically the drawing of graphs. For maximum performance, consider the following (most
  recommended/effective measures first):
  
  \li use Qt 4.8.0 and up. Performance has doubled or tripled with respect to Qt 4.7.4. However
  QPainter was broken and drawing pixel precise things, e.g. scatters, isn't possible with Qt >=
  4.8.0. So it's a performance vs. plot quality tradeoff when switching to Qt 4.8.
  \li To increase responsiveness during dragging, consider setting \ref QCustomPlot::setNoAntialiasingOnDrag to true.
  \li On X11 (GNU/Linux), avoid the slow native drawing system, use raster by supplying
  "-graphicssystem raster" as command line argument or calling QApplication::setGraphicsSystem("raster")
  before creating the QApplication object. (Only available for Qt versions before 5.0)
  \li On all operating systems, use OpenGL hardware acceleration by supplying "-graphicssystem
  opengl" as command line argument or calling QApplication::setGraphicsSystem("opengl") (Only
  available for Qt versions before 5.0). If OpenGL is available, this will slightly decrease the
  quality of antialiasing, but extremely increase performance especially with alpha
  (semi-transparent) fills, much antialiasing and a large QCustomPlot drawing surface. Note
  however, that the maximum frame rate might be constrained by the vertical sync frequency of your
  monitor (VSync can be disabled in the graphics card driver configuration). So for simple plots
  (where the potential framerate is far above 60 frames per second), OpenGL acceleration might
  achieve numerically lower frame rates than the other graphics systems, because they are not
  capped at the VSync frequency.
  \li Avoid any kind of alpha (transparency), especially in fills
  \li Avoid lines with a pen width greater than one
  \li Avoid any kind of antialiasing, especially in graph lines (see \ref QCustomPlot::setNotAntialiasedElements)
  \li Avoid repeatedly setting the complete data set with \ref QCPGraph::setData. Use \ref QCPGraph::addData instead, if most
  data points stay unchanged, e.g. in a running measurement.
  \li Set the \a copy parameter of the setData functions to false, so only pointers get
  transferred. (Relevant only if preparing data maps with a large number of points, i.e. over 10000)
  
  \section mainpage-flags Preprocessor Define Flags
  
  QCustomPlot understands some preprocessor defines that are useful for debugging and compilation:
  <dl>
  <dt>\c QCUSTOMPLOT_COMPILE_LIBRARY
  <dd>Define this flag when you compile QCustomPlot as a shared library (.so/.dll)
  <dt>\c QCUSTOMPLOT_USE_LIBRARY
  <dd>Define this flag before including the header, when using QCustomPlot as a shared library
  <dt>\c QCUSTOMPLOT_CHECK_DATA
  <dd>If this flag is defined, the QCustomPlot plottables will perform data validity checks on every redraw.
      This means they will give qDebug output when you plot \e inf or \e nan values, they will not
      fix your data.
  </dl>

  enums. There are the following types of interactions:
  
  <b>Axis range manipulation</b> is controlled via \ref QCP::iRangeDrag and \ref QCP::iRangeZoom. When the
  respective interaction is enabled, the user may drag axes ranges and zoom with the mouse wheel.
  For details how to control which axes the user may drag/zoom and in what orientations, see \ref
  QCPAxisRect::setRangeDrag, \ref QCPAxisRect::setRangeZoom, \ref QCPAxisRect::setRangeDragAxes,
  \ref QCPAxisRect::setRangeZoomAxes.
  
  <b>Plottable selection</b> is controlled by \ref QCP::iSelectPlottables. If \ref QCP::iSelectPlottables is
  set, the user may select plottables (graphs, curves, bars,...) by clicking on them or in their
  vicinity (\ref setSelectionTolerance). Whether the user can actually select a plottable can
  further be restricted with the \ref QCPAbstractPlottable::setSelectable function on the specific
  plottable. To find out whether a specific plottable is selected, call
  QCPAbstractPlottable::selected(). To retrieve a list of all currently selected plottables, call
  \ref selectedPlottables. If you're only interested in QCPGraphs, you may use the convenience
  function \ref selectedGraphs.
  
  <b>Item selection</b> is controlled by \ref QCP::iSelectItems. If \ref QCP::iSelectItems is set, the user
  may select items (QCPItemLine, QCPItemText,...) by clicking on them or in their vicinity. To find
  out whether a specific item is selected, call QCPAbstractItem::selected(). To retrieve a list of
  all currently selected items, call \ref selectedItems.
  
  <b>Axis selection</b> is controlled with \ref QCP::iSelectAxes. If \ref QCP::iSelectAxes is set, the user
  may select parts of the axes by clicking on them. What parts exactly (e.g. Axis base line, tick
  labels, axis label) are selectable can be controlled via \ref QCPAxis::setSelectableParts for
  each axis. To retrieve a list of all axes that currently contain selected parts, call \ref
  selectedAxes. Which parts of an axis are selected, can be retrieved with QCPAxis::selectedParts().
  
  <b>Legend selection</b> is controlled with \ref QCP::iSelectLegend. If this is set, the user may
  select the legend itself or individual items by clicking on them. What parts exactly are
  selectable can be controlled via \ref QCPLegend::setSelectableParts. To find out whether the
  legend or any of its child items are selected, check the value of QCPLegend::selectedParts. To
  find out which child items are selected, call \ref QCPLegend::selectedItems.
  
  <b>All other selectable elements</b> The selection of all other selectable objects (e.g.
  QCPPlotTitle, or your own layerable subclasses) is controlled with \ref QCP::iSelectOther. If set, the
  user may select those objects by clicking on them. To find out which are currently selected, you
  need to check their selected state explicitly.
  
  If the selection state has changed by user interaction, the \ref selectionChangedByUser signal is
  emitted. Each selectable object additionally emits an individual selectionChanged signal whenever
  their selection state has changed, i.e. not only by user interaction.
  
  To allow multiple objects to be selected by holding the selection modifier (\ref
  setMultiSelectModifier), set the flag \ref QCP::iMultiSelect.
  
  \note In addition to the selection mechanism presented here, QCustomPlot always emits
  corresponding signals, when an object is clicked or double clicked. see \ref plottableClick and
  \ref plottableDoubleClick for example.

/*! \class QCPGraph
  \brief A plottable representing a graph in a plot.

  \image html QCPGraph.png
  
  Usually QCustomPlot creates graphs internally via QCustomPlot::addGraph and the resulting
  instance is accessed via QCustomPlot::graph.

  To plot data, assign it with the \ref setData or \ref addData functions.
  
  Graphs are used to display single-valued data. Single-valued means that there should only be one
  data point per unique key coordinate. In other words, the graph can't have \a loops. If you do
  want to plot non-single-valued curves, rather use the QCPCurve plottable.
  
  \section appearance Changing the appearance
  
  The appearance of the graph is mainly determined by the line style, scatter style, brush and pen
  of the graph (\ref setLineStyle, \ref setScatterStyle, \ref setBrush, \ref setPen).
  
  \subsection filling Filling under or between graphs
  
  QCPGraph knows two types of fills: Normal graph fills towards the zero-value-line parallel to
  the key axis of the graph, and fills between two graphs, called channel fills. To enable a fill,
  just set a brush with \ref setBrush which is neither Qt::NoBrush nor fully transparent.
  
  By default, a normal fill towards the zero-value-line will be drawn. To set up a channel fill
  between this graph and another one, call \ref setChannelFillGraph with the other graph as
  parameter.

  \see QCustomPlot::addGraph, QCustomPlot::graph, QCPLegend::addGraph
*/

/*!
  Constructs a graph which uses \a keyAxis as its key axis ("x") and \a valueAxis as its value
  axis ("y"). \a keyAxis and \a valueAxis must reside in the same QCustomPlot instance and not have
  the same orientation. If either of these restrictions is violated, a corresponding message is
  printed to the debug output (qDebug), the construction is not aborted, though.
  
  The constructed QCPGraph can be added to the plot with QCustomPlot::addPlottable, QCustomPlot
  then takes ownership of the graph.
  
  To directly create a graph inside a plot, you can also use the simpler QCustomPlot::addGraph function.

/*! \class QCPCurve
  \brief A plottable representing a parametric curve in a plot.
  
  \image html QCPCurve.png
  
  Unlike QCPGraph, plottables of this type may have multiple points with the same key coordinate,
  so their visual representation can have \a loops. This is realized by introducing a third
  coordinate \a t, which defines the order of the points described by the other two coordinates \a
  x and \a y.

  To plot data, assign it with the \ref setData or \ref addData functions.
  
  \section appearance Changing the appearance
  
  The appearance of the curve is determined by the pen and the brush (\ref setPen, \ref setBrush).
  \section usage Usage
  
  Like all data representing objects in QCustomPlot, the QCPCurve is a plottable (QCPAbstractPlottable). So
  the plottable-interface of QCustomPlot applies (QCustomPlot::plottable, QCustomPlot::addPlottable, QCustomPlot::removePlottable, etc.) 
  
  Usually, you first create an instance:
  \code
  QCPCurve *newCurve = new QCPCurve(customPlot->xAxis, customPlot->yAxis);\endcode
  add it to the customPlot with QCustomPlot::addPlottable:
  \code
  customPlot->addPlottable(newCurve);\endcode
  and then modify the properties of the newly created plottable, e.g.:
  \code
  newCurve->setName("Fermat's Spiral");
  newCurve->setData(tData, xData, yData);\endcode
*/

/*!
  Constructs a curve which uses \a keyAxis as its key axis ("x") and \a valueAxis as its value
  axis ("y"). \a keyAxis and \a valueAxis must reside in the same QCustomPlot instance and not have
  the same orientation. If either of these restrictions is violated, a corresponding message is
  printed to the debug output (qDebug), the construction is not aborted, though.
  
  The constructed QCPCurve can be added to the plot with QCustomPlot::addPlottable, QCustomPlot
  then takes ownership of the graph.

/*! \class QCPBars
  \brief A plottable representing a bar chart in a plot.

  \image html QCPBars.png
  
  To plot data, assign it with the \ref setData or \ref addData functions.
  
  \section appearance Changing the appearance
  
  The appearance of the bars is determined by the pen and the brush (\ref setPen, \ref setBrush).
  
  Bar charts are stackable. This means, Two QCPBars plottables can be placed on top of each other
  (see \ref QCPBars::moveAbove). Then, when two bars are at the same key position, they will appear
  stacked.
  
  \section usage Usage
  
  Like all data representing objects in QCustomPlot, the QCPBars is a plottable
  (QCPAbstractPlottable). So the plottable-interface of QCustomPlot applies
  (QCustomPlot::plottable, QCustomPlot::addPlottable, QCustomPlot::removePlottable, etc.)
  
  Usually, you first create an instance:
  \code
  QCPBars *newBars = new QCPBars(customPlot->xAxis, customPlot->yAxis);\endcode
  add it to the customPlot with QCustomPlot::addPlottable:
  \code
  customPlot->addPlottable(newBars);\endcode
  and then modify the properties of the newly created plottable, e.g.:
  \code
  newBars->setName("Country population");
  newBars->setData(xData, yData);\endcode

  \brief A plottable representing a single statistical box in a plot.

  \image html QCPStatisticalBox.png
  
  To plot data, assign it with the individual parameter functions or use \ref setData to set all
  parameters at once. The individual funcions are:
  \li \ref setMinimum
  \li \ref setLowerQuartile
  \li \ref setMedian
  \li \ref setUpperQuartile
  \li \ref setMaximum
  
  Additionally you can define a list of outliers, drawn as circle datapoints:
  \li \ref setOutliers
  
  \section appearance Changing the appearance
  
  The appearance of the box itself is controlled via \ref setPen and \ref setBrush. You may change
  the width of the box with \ref setWidth in plot coordinates (not pixels).

  Analog functions exist for the minimum/maximum-whiskers: \ref setWhiskerPen, \ref
  setWhiskerBarPen, \ref setWhiskerWidth. The whisker width is the width of the bar at the top
  (maximum) and bottom (minimum).
  
  The median indicator line has its own pen, \ref setMedianPen.
  
  If the whisker backbone pen is changed, make sure to set the capStyle to Qt::FlatCap. Else, the
  backbone line might exceed the whisker bars by a few pixels due to the pen cap being not
  perfectly flat.
  
  The Outlier data points are drawn as normal scatter points. Their look can be controlled with
  \ref setOutlierStyle

  \brief A curved line from one point to another

  \image html QCPItemCurve.png "Curve example. Blue dotted circles are anchors, solid blue discs are positions."

  It has four positions, \a start and \a end, which define the end points of the line, and two
  control points which define the direction the line exits from the start and the direction from
  which it approaches the end: \a startDir and \a endDir.
  
  With \ref setHead and \ref setTail you may set different line ending styles, e.g. to create an
  arrow.
  
  Often it is desirable for the control points to stay at fixed relative positions to the start/end
  point. This can be achieved by setting the parent anchor e.g. of \a startDir simply to \a start,
  and then specify the desired pixel offset with QCPItemPosition::setCoords on \a startDir.

  \brief Item that sticks to QCPGraph data points

  \image html QCPItemTracer.png "Tracer example. Blue dotted circles are anchors, solid blue discs are positions."

  The tracer can be connected with a QCPGraph via \ref setGraph. Then it will automatically adopt
  the coordinate axes of the graph and update its \a position to be on the graph's data. This means
  the key stays controllable via \ref setGraphKey, but the value will follow the graph data. If a
  QCPGraph is connected, note that setting the coordinates of the tracer item directly via \a
  position will have no effect because they will be overriden in the next redraw (this is when the
  coordinate update happens).
  
  If the specified key in \ref setGraphKey is outside the key bounds of the graph, the tracer will
  stay at the corresponding end of the graph.
  
  With \ref setInterpolating you may specify whether the tracer may only stay exactly on data
  points or whether it interpolates data points linearly, if given a key that lies between two data
  points of the graph.
  
  The tracer has different visual styles, see \ref setStyle. It is also possible to make the tracer
  have no own visual appearance (set the style to \ref tsNone), and just connect other item
  positions to the tracer \a position (used as an anchor) via \ref
  QCPItemPosition::setParentAnchor.
  
  \note The tracer position is only automatically updated upon redraws. So when the data of the
  graph changes and immediately afterwards (without a redraw) the a position coordinates of the
  tracer are retrieved, they will not reflect the updated data of the graph. In this case \ref
  updatePosition must be called manually, prior to reading the tracer coordinates.

/*! \class QCPItemBracket
  \brief A bracket for referencing/highlighting certain parts in the plot.

  \image html QCPItemBracket.png "Bracket example. Blue dotted circles are anchors, solid blue discs are positions."

  It has two positions, \a left and \a right, which define the span of the bracket. If \a left is
  actually farther to the left than \a right, the bracket is opened to the bottom, as shown in the
  example image.
  
  The bracket supports multiple styles via \ref setStyle. The length, i.e. how far the bracket
  stretches away from the embraced span, can be controlled with \ref setLength.

//////////////////// QCPAxisRect
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

/*! \class QCPAxisRect
  \brief Holds multiple axes and arranges them in a rectangular shape.
  
  This class represents an axis rect, a rectangular area that is bounded on all sides with an
  arbitrary number of axes.
  
  Initially QCustomPlot has one axis rect, accessible via QCustomPlot::axisRect(). However, the
  layout system allows to have multiple axis rects, e.g. arranged in a grid layout
  (QCustomPlot::plotLayout).
  
  By default, QCPAxisRect comes with four axes, at bottom, top, left and right. They can be
  accessed via \ref axis by providing the respective axis type (\ref QCPAxis::AxisType) and index.
  If you need all axes in the axis rect, use \ref axes. The top and right axes are set to be
  invisible initially (QCPAxis::setVisible). To add more axes to a side, use \ref addAxis or \ref
  addAxes. To remove an axis, use \ref removeAxis.
  
  The axis rect layerable itself only draws a background pixmap or color, if specified (\ref
  setBackground). It is placed on the "background" layer initially (see \ref QCPLayer for an
  explanation of the QCustomPlot layer system). The axes that are held by the axis rect can be
  placed on other layers, independently of the axis rect.
  
  Every axis rect has a child layout of type \ref QCPLayoutInset. It is accessible via \ref
  insetLayout and can be used to have other layout elements (or even other layouts with multiple
  elements) hovering inside the axis rect.
  
  If an axis rect is clicked and dragged, it processes this by moving certain axis ranges. The
  behaviour can be controlled with \ref setRangeDrag and \ref setRangeDragAxes. If the mouse wheel
  is scrolled while the cursor is on the axis rect, certain axes are scaled. This is controllable
  via \ref setRangeZoom, \ref setRangeZoomAxes and \ref setRangeZoomFactor. These interactions are
  only enabled if \ref QCustomPlot::setInteractions contains \ref QCP::iRangeDrag and \ref
  QCP::iRangeZoom.

/*! \class QCPPlottableLegendItem
  \brief A legend item representing a plottable with an icon and the plottable name.
  
  This is the standard legend item for plottables. It displays an icon of the plottable next to the
  plottable name. The icon is drawn by the respective plottable itself (\ref
  QCPAbstractPlottable::drawLegendIcon), and tries to give an intuitive symbol for the plottable.
  For example, the QCPGraph draws a centered horizontal line and/or a single scatter point in the
  middle.
  
  Legend items of this type are always associated with one plottable (retrievable via the
  plottable() function and settable with the constructor). You may change the font of the plottable
  name with \ref setFont. Icon padding and border pen is taken from the parent QCPLegend, see \ref
  QCPLegend::setIconBorderPen and \ref QCPLegend::setIconTextPadding.

  The function \ref QCPAbstractPlottable::addToLegend/\ref QCPAbstractPlottable::removeFromLegend
  creates/removes legend items of this type in the default implementation. However, these functions
  may be reimplemented such that a different kind of legend item (e.g a direct subclass of
  QCPAbstractLegendItem) is used for that plottable.
  
  Since QCPLegend is based on QCPLayoutGrid, a legend item itself is just a subclass of
  QCPLayoutElement. While it could be added to a legend (or any other layout) via the normal layout
  interface, QCPLegend has specialized functions for handling legend items conveniently, see the
  documentation of \ref QCPLegend.
*/

/*!

/*! \class QCPLegend
  \brief Manages a legend inside a QCustomPlot.

  A legend is a small box somewhere in the plot which lists plottables with their name and icon.
  
  Normally, the legend is populated by calling \ref QCPAbstractPlottable::addToLegend. The
  respective legend item can be removed with \ref QCPAbstractPlottable::removeFromLegend. However,
  QCPLegend also offers an interface to add and manipulate legend items directly: \ref item, \ref
  itemWithPlottable, \ref itemCount, \ref addItem, \ref removeItem, etc.
  
  The QCPLegend derives from QCPLayoutGrid and as such can be placed in any position a
  QCPLayoutElement may be positioned. The legend items are themselves QCPLayoutElements which are
  placed in the grid layout of the legend. QCPLegend only adds an interface specialized for
  handling child elements of type QCPAbstractLegendItem, as mentioned above. In principle, any
  other layout elements may also be added to a legend via the normal \ref QCPLayoutGrid interface.
  However, the QCPAbstractLegendItem-Interface will ignore those elements (e.g. \ref itemCount will
  only return the number of items with QCPAbstractLegendItems type).

  By default, every QCustomPlot has one legend (QCustomPlot::legend) which is placed in the inset
  layout of the main axis rect (\ref QCPAxisRect::insetLayout). To move the legend to another
  position inside the axis rect, use the methods of the \ref QCPLayoutInset. To move the legend
  outside of the axis rect, place it anywhere else with the QCPLayout/QCPLayoutElement interface.
