use a QWT layout with QCustomPlot

[bandito]

I am a little lost as to how to use a layout manager with QCP. I understand how to add rows and columns in QCP but I need to add a QListView to list come text to the right of my QCP graph. Since QCP can't add QWT elements (at least not to my knowledge) I need to use a QWT layout manager. I would like to add a QVBoxLayout to this code with. Thanks.

(mainwindow.cpp)

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow){
    ui->setupUi(this);
    MainWindow::makePlot();
}
 
...............
 
 
 
void MainWindow::makePlot(QString stock){
    // set the title
    ui->customPlot->plotLayout()->insertRow(0);
    QCPPlotTitle *plotTitle = new QCPPlotTitle(ui->customPlot);
    plotTitle->setMargins(QMargins(0,0,0,0));
    plotTitle->setTextColor(QColor(255,255,255));
    plotTitle->setFont(QFont(QFont().family(), 12));
    plotTitle->setText("hello world");
    ui->customPlot->plotLayout()->addElement(0, 0, plotTitle);
    ui->customPlot->setBackground(QBrush(QColor(70,70,70)));
 
    QCPFinancial *candlesticks = new QCPFinancial(ui->customPlot->xAxis, ui->customPlot->yAxis);

I don't know that this has to do with QWT, but if you want a QListView side by side with the QCustomPlot widget, you add both to a QHBoxLayout.
