Remove all canvas margins & spacing in Qwt

I have a QwtPlot which consists in a single horizontal QwtPlotMultiBarChart. I would like to have the canvas height, the y axis length and the barchart height to be all the same. I tried settings all margins/spacing to zero and switch layout policies.

seriesPlot = new QwtPlot(this);
seriesPlot->plotLayout()->setCanvasMargin(0);
seriesPlot->plotLayout()->setSpacing(0);

seriesPlot->canvas()->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Minimum, QSizePolicy::Minimum);
seriesPlot->canvas()->setContentsMargins(0,0,0,0);

d_barChartItem = new QwtPlotMultiBarChart();
d_barChartItem->setLayoutPolicy( QwtPlotMultiBarChart::ScaleSampleToCanvas );
d_barChartItem->setStyle( QwtPlotMultiBarChart::Stacked );
d_barChartItem->attach( seriesPlot );

populate();
d_barChartItem->setSpacing(0);
d_barChartItem->setMargin( 0 );

QwtPlot::Axis axis2 = QwtPlot::xBottom;
QwtPlot::Axis axis1 = QwtPlot::yLeft;
d_barChartItem->setOrientation( Qt::Horizontal );

seriesPlot->setAxisScale( axis1,-0.2,0.2 );
seriesPlot->setAxisAutoScale( axis2 );

QwtScaleDraw *scaleDraw1 = seriesPlot->axisScaleDraw( axis1 );
scaleDraw1->enableComponent( QwtScaleDraw::Backbone, false );
scaleDraw1->setSpacing(0);
scaleDraw1->enableComponent( QwtScaleDraw::Ticks, false );
scaleDraw1->enableComponent( QwtScaleDraw::Labels, false );

QwtScaleDraw *scaleDraw2 = seriesPlot->axisScaleDraw( axis2 );
scaleDraw2->enableComponent( QwtScaleDraw::Backbone, false );
scaleDraw2->enableComponent( QwtScaleDraw::Ticks, true );

seriesPlot->plotLayout()->setAlignCanvasToScale( axis1, true);
seriesPlot->updateAxes();

seriesPlot->plotLayout()->setCanvasMargin( 0 );
seriesPlot->updateCanvasMargins();
seriesPlot->updateLayout();

seriesPlot->replot();
seriesPlot->setAutoReplot( true );

And here is a picture of the two margins that i would like to remove:

Solution

  • I found the solution:

    d_barChartItem->setLayoutHint(0.75);
