    You can add a marker ( without a symbol ) at the center ( or wherever you want to align your title ) of the line. To avoid that the marker text intersects the line you have to feed QwtPlotMarker::setLabelAlignment() depending on the gradient of your line.

    You can't attach a marker to a curve, but you can set the position of the marker to something that is related to the coordinates of the curve points. Instead you can use the legend what is the usual concept for showing a textual information about a curve.

    If you want to "attach" some text according to a line ( rotated in direction of this line with some pixels distance ) you have to derive from QwtPlotCurve overloading the draw method. But please don't ask for an algorithm how to align a text label to a polygon ( not only a line ) - I don't have one.

    I tried to set the position of the marker using

    [CODE] mymarker->setAxes(4000,1000); [CODE/]

    but the marker keep showing in the (0,0) coordinates. so how can i set the position of the marker ?

    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    This associates X and Y axes (as in xBottom and yLeft) with the marker, it doesn't set its position.

    Thanks,

    I was using the wrong method and wondering, there is not much explanation in the qwt documents so we end up asking too many simple questions.

    marker->setValue was the right method to set the marker position.

    Sorry, what is the difference between the x,y Axes and the position ?? I'm kinda confused , or if you could point me the place where i can read about this and under stand this more.

    f.e in the documentation the

    " setAxis method : The item will painted according to the coordinates its Axes. "

    so what is the x and y Axis if it is not the x and y position ??

    Thank you so much,

    Jesse.

    Axes are "top", "bottom", "left", "right" and value/position is the value of a respective axis a particular item has. It's classic cartesian math, you know...

    Well you are the first one in 15 years who was running in this misunderstanding.

    The reason for it is that the axes parameters are not declared as QwtPlot::Axis. Qwt 0.1 had a lot of C type code - probably because of the personal background of the author - and I always hesitated to clean it up, because it is a modification for so many APis and I would have to fix all code that loops from i to QwtPlot::axisCnt.

    At least I have extended the documentation.
