    Uwe v6.0.2 is out - if this tutorial exists, please post the location. It is sorely needed by Qwt newbies - as are working practical examples.

    Qwt 6.1-rc1 is out too and all I have done so far is buying a book about DocBook.
    Concerning the examples: what topics would you like to see that are not covered by the existing ( 6.1 ) examples already ?

    Reviewing v6.1 examples now.

    In general generic examples that do nothing are not useful in practice for newbies to Qwt. On topic, an example of using Qwt to make a waterfall widget that displays sound captured (from say a jack audio input client) would be an outstandingly practical example for anyone as long as it works.

    I completely disagree, examples like simpleplot are exactly what a newbie needs. The complete example has 42 lines of code and shows how easy it is to set up an application with a curve chart. This is the relevant information a user needs to know to get a project started.

    On topic, an example of using Qwt to make a waterfall widget that displays sound captured (from say a jack audio input client) would be an outstandingly practical example for anyone as long as it works.
    Nothing could be more off topic than this. A waterfall plot qualifies as a demo like the oscilloscope - a cool application showing the power of Qwt, but leaving a newbie completely clueless, when reading the code.

    But don't get me wrong: I would like to have a demo for a waterfall plot too, but the problem is the generation of the data:


    • examples have to run on all target platforms without external dependencies - nobody installs and runs jack only to see how Qwt works.
    • you can't blow up the size of a Qwt tarball with recorded data ( like the cpuplot example does for systems without a proc file system )


    That's why in the end examples often end with synthetic data.

    So if you have a specification for a waterfall plot and an idea how to generate the data I would be willing to implement such a demo. Also I could imagine to offer a more high level set of widgets - if I would have reasonable specifications - like:


    • QwtOscilloscope
    • QwtWaterfallPlot
    • ...


    This is not the first thread about a waterfall example, but unfortunately ideas like this usually die as soon as I'm asking for any type of contribution ...
