About:
Qwt is a library for technical applications, offering a rich set of widgets for plotting, metering, and tracking. It provides components like 2D plots, dials, and thermometers that integrate seamlessly with the Qt5 framework. This library is designed to help developers build complex user interfaces for scientific and engineering software.
Key Features:
  • Rich set of 2D plotting widgets
  • Components for metering and controls (dials, sliders)
  • High-performance canvas for real-time data
  • Extensible architecture for custom components
Use Cases:
  • Building scientific data visualization tools
  • Creating control panels for engineering simulations
  • Developing real-time signal processing applications
Alternatives:
  • QtCharts – QtCharts is part of the official Qt framework, whereas Qwt is a third-party library often preferred for its extensive range of technical widgets and customization.
  • QCustomPlot – QCustomPlot is a single-header widget focused primarily on plotting, offering a simpler API but fewer overall UI components than Qwt.
