  \mainpage Qwt - Qt Widgets for Technical Applications

The Qwt library contains GUI Components and utility classes which are primarily
useful for programs with a technical background. Beside a 2D plot widget
it provides scales, sliders, dials, compasses, thermometers, wheels and knobs 
to control or display values, arrays, or ranges of type double.

  \section installonmainpage Installation
 
  Have a look at the qwt.pro project file. It is prepared for building
  dynamic libraries in Win32 and Unix/X11 environments. 
  If you don't know what to do with it, read the file \ref qwtinstall and/or 
  Trolltechs 
  <a href="http://www.trolltech.com/developer/documentation/index.html">tmake/qmake</a> documentation. Once you have build the library you have to install 
  all files from the lib, include and doc directories.

  On RPM based systems you can adjust \ref qwtspec and build your own
  RPM package. Read the comments in qwt.spec for the details.
