Two separate QwtLegend objects in one QwtPlot

Hello all,

I'm new to programming with Qwt in C++. I have a plot with some curves and markers in it. Currently, I have one QwtLegend for the curves and markers, however, I want to have two separate QwtLegends, one for the curves and one for the markers. Is this possible? If yes, how can I do that?

What I would also be satisfied with would be to have one QwtLegend with curves and markers in separate rows. I have found the function QwtLegend::setMaxColumns(uint columns), but unfortunately, the legend shows more than three items in one row. My code for that looks as follows:

QwtLegend *legend = new QwtLegend();
legend->setFrameStyle(QFrame::Box);
legend->setMaxColumns(3);
plot->insertLegend(legend, QwtPlot::TopLegend, 1.0);

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you very much in advance.

In theory you could have several legends, but the plot layout is only capable of having one. So you would have to write the layout code to tie plot and additional legends yourself.
QwtPlot::insertLegend(() changes the max columns attribute, so you would have to set it to 3 after the statement.
