.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP 
Abstract base class for legend widgets\&. 

Legends, that need to be under control of the \fBQwtPlot\fP layout system need to be derived from \fBQwtAbstractLegend\fP\&.
.PP
\fBNote:\fP
.RS 4
Other type of legends can be implemented by connecting to the \fBQwtPlot::legendDataChanged()\fP signal\&. But as these legends are unknown to the plot layout system the layout code ( on screen and for \fBQwtPlotRenderer\fP ) need to be organized in application code\&.
