Switching Log and Linear scale, determine which is active

[Lovec47]

Beginner question, I want to make button to switch between Log and Linear axis. How to determine which transformation is active without declaring new variable ?

void HistPlot::switchLogLin()
{
  if(plot->axisScaleDraw(QwtPlot::yLeft)-> ?....== ? )    
    plot->setAxisScaleEngine(QwtPlot::yLeft, new QwtLogScaleEngine);   
  else plot->setAxisScaleEngine(QwtPlot::yLeft, new QwtLinearScaleEngine);
}

void HistPlot::switchLogLin()
{
  if(plot->axisScaleDraw(QwtPlot::yLeft)-> ?....== ? )    
    plot->setAxisScaleEngine(QwtPlot::yLeft, new QwtLogScaleEngine);   
  else plot->setAxisScaleEngine(QwtPlot::yLeft, new QwtLinearScaleEngine);
}

As long as you have not RTTI disabled:

if ( dynamic_cast<const QwtLogScaleEngine *>(  plot->axisScaleEngine( QwtPlot::yLeft ) ) )
   ...

if ( dynamic_cast<const QwtLogScaleEngine *>(  plot->axisScaleEngine( QwtPlot::yLeft ) ) )
   ...
