    You can use QwtPlotPicker with QwtPicker::AlwaysOn to display text as you traverse the graph. See examples too.

    i need to see coordinates not all the time, i need to see it if mouse moved near some point
    I know, that i can redefine mouse move event in qwt symbolm but there no more easy way?

    No you can't - QwtSymbol is no QWidget.

    Instead you can follow the hint of pkj using a customized picker:

    Qt Code:
    1. class YourPlotPicker:: public QwtPlotPicker
    2. {
    3. ....
    4.  
    5. virtual QwtText trackerTextF( const QPointF &pos ) const
    6. {
    7. QwtPlotCurve *curve = NULL;
    8. double dist = 10e10;
    9. int index = -1;
    10.  
    11. const QwtPlotItemList& itmList = plot()->itemList();
    12. for ( QwtPlotItemIterator it = itmList.begin();
    13. it != itmList.end(); ++it )
    14. {
    15. if ( ( *it )->rtti() == QwtPlotItem::Rtti_PlotCurve )
    16. {
    17. QwtPlotCurve *c = static_cast<QwtPlotCurve *>( *it );
    18.  
    19. double d;
    20. int idx = c->closestPoint( pos, &d );
    21. if ( d < dist )
    22. {
    23. curve = c;
    24. index = idx;
    25. dist = d;
    26. }
    27. }
    28. }
    29.  
    30. QString text;
    31.  
    32. const int maxPixels = 10;
    33. if ( dist < maxPixels )
    34. {
    35. const QPointF pos = curve->sample( index );
    36. text.sprintf( "%.4f, %.4f", pos.x(), pos.y() );
    37. }
    38.  
    39. return QwtText( text );
    40. }
    41. };
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    QwtPlotCurve::closestPoint() iterates over all points what might be too slow for many points. If can implement something faster using the characteristics of your samples ( f.e when they have increasing x values ) better implement it. In the worst case you need to introduce some spatial organized index like a quadtree.

    For example look at this

    I checked: in the higher point distance is bigger, even if the cursor directly on the chart
