Qwt is an extension to the Qt GUI library from Troll Tech AS. The Qwt library contains widgets and components which are primarily useful for technical and scientifical purposes. It includes a 2-D plotting widget, different kinds of sliders, and much more. Optional dependency: qt4. If installed, the package will include qt4 support. Since the default SBo build of qt4 does not include support for designer, no qwt designer plugin is installed for qt4. If you're interested in developing software that uses qwt, you might want to build this with EXAMPLES=yes in the environment. This will compile the example and playground programs and install them in the doc dir. Some users have experienced problems when Playground component is enabled, so is now turned off by default. It may be reenabled by setting the environment variable PLAYGROUND=yes Some users have experienced problems when Tests component is enabled, so is now turned off by default. It may be reenabled by setting the environment variable TESTS=yes
