    Default QwtPlotCurve/QwtPlotIntervalCurve and auto scale

    Consider the following code:

    Qt Code:
    1. // Generate data
    2. QVector<QPointF> points{ QPointF(0, 25), QPointF(10, 12), QPointF(20, 20), QPointF(30, 31), QPointF(40, 20), QPointF(50, 15) };
    3. QVector<QwtIntervalSample> intervalData{ QwtIntervalSample(0, 22, 28), QwtIntervalSample(10, 9, 15), QwtIntervalSample(20, 18, 22),
    4. QwtIntervalSample(30, 29, 33), QwtIntervalSample(40, 15, 25), QwtIntervalSample(50, 9, 21) };
    5.  
    6. // Create curve
    7. auto curve = new QwtPlotCurve();
    8. curve->setSamples(points);
    9. curve->setSymbol(new QwtSymbol(QwtSymbol::Ellipse, QBrush(Qt::darkGreen), QPen(Qt::green), QSize(10, 10)));
    10. curve->setPen(QPen(Qt::darkGreen));
    11. curve->attach(m_plot);
    12.  
    13. // Create interval curve
    14. auto errorCurve = new QwtPlotIntervalCurve();
    15. errorCurve->setSamples(intervalData);
    16. errorCurve->setStyle(QwtPlotIntervalCurve::NoCurve);
    17. QwtIntervalSymbol* errorBar = new QwtIntervalSymbol(QwtIntervalSymbol::Bar);
    18. errorBar->setWidth(8);
    19. errorBar->setPen(QPen(Qt::black));
    20. errorCurve->setSymbol(errorBar);
    21. errorCurve->setRenderHint(QwtPlotItem::RenderAntialiased, false);
    22. errorCurve->attach(m_plot);
    23.  
    24. // Apply auto scale
    25. m_plot->setAxisAutoScale(QwtPlot::xBottom, true);
    26. m_plot->setAxisAutoScale(QwtPlot::yLeft, true);
    27. m_plot->replot();

    When you run that code and look at the plot you will see that the y axis's scaling is not correct. Or at least it is not what I expect it to be. The lower end is set to 5 and the upper end is set to 35, but the minimum of the data is 9 and the maximum is 33. It seems as if the axes try to set their minimum and maximum to "nice" values instead of the real minimum and maximum values of the data.

    If I comment the line errorCurve->attach(m_plot) and show the data curve only, the effect is the same. The y axis auto scales to the "nice" values of 10/35 instead of the real values 12/31.

    Is this some setting for the auto scale that I am missing or is this a bug?
