Detailed Description

       QwtPlotHistogram represents a series of samples, where an interval is associated with a
       value ( $y = f([x1,x2])$ ).

       The representation depends on the style() and an optional symbol() that is displayed for
       each interval.

       Note:
           The term 'histogram' is used in a different way in the areas of digital image
           processing and statistics. Wikipedia introduces the terms 'image histogram' and 'color
           histogram' to avoid confusions. While 'image histograms' can be displayed by a
           QwtPlotCurve there is no applicable plot item for a 'color histogram' yet.

Member Enumeration Documentation

   enum QwtPlotHistogram::HistogramStyle Histogram styles. The default style is
       QwtPlotHistogram::Columns.
       See also:
           setStyle(), style(), setSymbol(), symbol(), setBaseline()

       Enumerator:

       Outline
              Draw an outline around the area, that is build by all intervals using the pen() and
              fill it with the brush(). The outline style requires, that the intervals are in
              increasing order and not overlapping.

       Columns
              Draw a column for each interval. When a symbol() has been set the symbol is used
              otherwise the column is displayed as plain rectangle using pen() and brush().

       Lines  Draw a simple line using the pen() for each interval.

       UserStyle
              Styles >= UserStyle are reserved for derived classes that overload drawSeries()
              with additional application specific ways to display a histogram.
