    Smile 2D Line Plot with Colored Vertical Lines combined

    I am planning on using Qwt to plot 2D line plots, which will
    consist of real time floating point data as a function of time.
    I anticipate having two data streams, with separate Y axis
    content and a common x axis representing time.
    This requirement seems to be fulfilled with Qwt line plots.

    However, I have one sort of unique requirement. I need to
    have plotted colored vertical lines for the entire range of
    Y as various points in the x-axis timeline. These vertical
    lines demarcate segments in time. The number of vertical
    lines representing the maximum number of segments is no more
    than 10 over the entire range of x (time).

    Anyone ever attempt this? Any recommendations on the best
    way to implement such a thing? Can I achieve this with a separate
    data set at a particular value of x?

    Implement a new type of plot item for your vertical lines.

    I am a newbie on Qwt, can you be more specific? I would need a sequence of vertical lines, which would have full vertical height, but these data points could not be content that drives autoscaling vertically.
    How could a singular XY data point represent a range of Y for a single X.?

    What about a QwtPlotMarker(). I would need a value that would be created dynamically, and the content of the marker spanning the entire range of Y would not be involved in autoscaling Y calculations.

    I didn't get 100% what you need, but have a look at QwtPlotIntervalCurve. Check the friedberg example and enable the bars mode.
