QwtPlotLayout¶
- class qwt.plot_layout.QwtPlotLayout[source]¶
Layout engine for QwtPlot.
It is used by the QwtPlot widget to organize its internal widgets or by QwtPlot.print() to render its content to a QPaintDevice like a QPrinter, QPixmap/QImage or QSvgRenderer.

Valid options:
QwtPlotLayout.AlignScales: Unused
QwtPlotLayout.IgnoreScrollbars: Ignore the dimension of the scrollbars. There are no scrollbars, when the plot is not rendered to widgets.
QwtPlotLayout.IgnoreFrames: Ignore all frames.
QwtPlotLayout.IgnoreLegend: Ignore the legend.
QwtPlotLayout.IgnoreTitle: Ignore the title.
QwtPlotLayout.IgnoreFooter: Ignore the footer.
- setCanvasMargin(margin, axis=-1)[source]¶
Change a margin of the canvas. The margin is the space above/below the scale ticks. A negative margin will be set to -1, excluding the borders of the scales.
- Parameters:
margin (int) – New margin
axisId (int) – Axis index
See also
Warning
The margin will have no effect when alignCanvasToScale() is True
- canvasMargin(axisId)[source]¶
- Parameters:
axisId (int) – Axis index
- Returns:
Margin around the scale tick borders

- setAlignCanvasToScales(*args)[source]¶
Change the align-canvas-to-axis-scales setting.
- setAlignCanvasToScales(on):
Set the align-canvas-to-axis-scales flag for all axes
- Parameters:
on (bool) – True/False
- setAlignCanvasToScales(axisId, on):
Change the align-canvas-to-axis-scales setting. The canvas may:
extend beyond the axis scale ends to maximize its size,
align with the axis scale ends to control its size.
The axisId parameter is somehow confusing as it identifies a border of the plot and not the axes, that are aligned. F.e when QwtPlot.yLeft is set, the left end of the the x-axes (QwtPlot.xTop, QwtPlot.xBottom) is aligned.
- Parameters:
axisId (int) – Axis index
on (bool) – True/False

- alignCanvasToScale(axisId)[source]¶
Return the align-canvas-to-axis-scales setting. The canvas may:
extend beyond the axis scale ends to maximize its size
align with the axis scale ends to control its size.
- Parameters:
axisId (int) – Axis index
- Returns:
align-canvas-to-axis-scales setting

,setCanvasMargin()
- setSpacing(spacing)[source]¶
Change the spacing of the plot. The spacing is the distance between the plot components.
- Parameters:
spacing (int) – New spacing
See also
- spacing()[source]¶
- Returns:
Spacing

margin()
,setSpacing()
- setLegendPosition(*args)[source]¶
Specify the position of the legend
- setLegendPosition(pos, [ratio=0.]):
Specify the position of the legend
- Parameters:
pos (QwtPlot.LegendPosition) – Legend position
ratio (float) – Ratio between legend and the bounding rectangle of title, footer, canvas and axes
The legend will be shrunk if it would need more space than the given ratio. The ratio is limited to ]0.0 .. 1.0]. In case of <= 0.0 it will be reset to the default ratio. The default vertical/horizontal ratio is 0.33/0.5.
Valid position values:
QwtPlot.LeftLegend,
QwtPlot.RightLegend,
QwtPlot.TopLegend,
QwtPlot.BottomLegend
See also
- setLegendRatio(ratio)[source]¶
Specify the relative size of the legend in the plot
- Parameters:
ratio (float) – Ratio between legend and the bounding rectangle of title, footer, canvas and axes
The legend will be shrunk if it would need more space than the given ratio. The ratio is limited to ]0.0 .. 1.0]. In case of <= 0.0 it will be reset to the default ratio. The default vertical/horizontal ratio is 0.33/0.5.
