Hello Uwe!

As you may remember, I'm using QwtPlotTradingCurve to display a chart graph. I noticed that one must use setSymbolExtent() in order to define the width of the candlestick, and that such width is kind of a parameter that changes when the Qwt::xBottom changes (if everything is right...). Now the problem is that I noticed that putting the setSymbolExtent() value to the one presented in the stockchart example (12 * 3600 * 1000.0) is only good when the stock is quite zoomed out; but when we zoom in, one can begin to noticed that the candles are too far away from each other.

So I guess I should change the setSymbolExtent() value each time a zoom movement is performed. The problem is that I need to know if the zoom event was a zoom in or a zoom out (so to know if a must call
Qt Code: 
  1. graphCandleCurve->setSymbolExtent( graphCandleCurve->symbolExtent() * 1.1f );
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
or
Qt Code: 
  1. graphCandleCurve->setSymbolExtent( graphCandleCurve->symbolExtent() * 0.9f );
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
for example. My question is: is there a way to know if the zoom event is a zoom in or a zoom out with the Qwt library alone?

Thanks,

Obs.: consider QwtPlotZoomer and QwtPlotMagnifier at least.
