I find that they work well if you're just trying to have one plot, but I'm struggling to get them to work the way I need them to for our requirements: We have a working application that currently uses Qwt for plotting, but I'd like to see if I can swap out Qwt (http://qwt.sourceforge.net) for QtCharts. The sticking point I'm having is this combination of requirements: 1. We're sampling a variety of sensors periodically. The value ranges of the individual sensors span very different ranges. For example, one sensor ranges from 0 - 65535, and a different sensor may only go from 0 - 1. 2. Because all of the sensors are sampled at the same time, the x-axis of the plot is just time, and the y values are the sensor readings at that given moment in time 3. Since (I think?) you can only reasonably have two y-axis scales (one on the left, one on the right) per plot, and our sensor value ranges are so varied, we can't reasonably put all the sensors on one plot and set the y-axes scales to the largest range because then you can't see the details of sensor(s) whose values don't range very far. 4. So because of requirements 1-3, we stack multiple plots vertically - aligning them so that I can overlay a vertical cursor line over all plots so the user can see where events from one plot line up with events on the other plots. All plots have the exact same x-axis range. 5. Because all of the plots have the exact same x-axis, there's no need to display it on each plot, chewing up valuable vertical pixels. So to save pixels in the y dimension, in Qwt we hide the x-axis widget on all the individual plots and we instantiate a stand-alone one and placed it above the stack of plots, aligning it to the plots (I’ve attached a pic showing it). I don’t see how to do this with QtCharts since it doesn’t seem like the axes are widgets/graphicswidgets. They only inherit from QObject, so I don’t know how to get a standalone one instantiated. I also don’t see any transform functions that allow you to get from chart x,y coordinates to pixel coordinates so that I could even manually paint my own scale.
