How to export the QWT Plot as png file with preserve the plot aspect raio??

[mammaiap]

Hi Friends,

i am facing the problem while export the qwt plot as the png image....

the problem is : in the saved "export.png" image...it is not preserving the aspect ratio(i.e if we check the 0 to 0.1 in x & y direction it is not same)... but i want to maintain the same distance in x & y direction.

it is correctly maintaining in the widget..please refer "plotwidget.png"...

my code snippet for export the qwt plot into png file:

const double scaleFactor = 2.0;
const QSize sz(800,640);
QString saveFileName="airfoilgeom.png";
QwtPlotRenderer renderer;
QString windirpath = dirpath.replace("/","\\");

QImage image0(sz, QImage::Format_ARGB32);
image0.fill( QColor( Qt::white ).rgb() );
QPainter painter0(&image0);
painter0.scale(scaleFactor, scaleFactor);

renderer.setDiscardFlag(QwtPlotRenderer:iscardBackground, false);
renderer.setLayoutFlag(QwtPlotRenderer::KeepMargin s, true);
renderer.setLayoutFlag(QwtPlotRenderer::KeepFrames , true);
renderer.render(airfoilgeomplots.at(j), &painter0, QRectF(QPointF(0, 0),sz / scaleFactor));
image0.save(windirpath+"\\LSWT_Report\\Report\\Plo ts\\"+saveFileName);

can anyone help me to solve the problem?????

Thanks & Regards,

There is no satisfying solution for this problem - the reason is the layout engine of QwtPlot and how it works.
But maybe you can render a pdf document ( vector graphics ! ) and scale the result in a second step to have the aspect ratio you need.
