\fB\fINoFocusIndicator \fP\fP
Don't paint a focus indicator\&. 
.TP
\fB\fICanvasFocusIndicator \fP\fP
The focus is related to the complete canvas\&. Paint the focus indicator using paintFocus() 
.TP
\fB\fIItemFocusIndicator \fP\fP
The focus is related to an item (curve, point, \&.\&.\&.) on the canvas\&. It is up to the application to display a focus indication using f\&.e\&. highlighting\&. 
.SS "enum \fBQwtPlotCanvas::PaintAttribute\fP"

\fB\fIBackingStore \fP\fP
Paint double buffered reusing the content of the pixmap buffer when possible\&. Using a backing store might improve the performance significantly, when working with widget overlays ( like rubber bands )\&. Disabling the cache might improve the performance for incremental paints (using \fBQwtPlotDirectPainter\fP )\&.

.RE

.TP
\fB\fIOpaque \fP\fP
Try to fill the complete contents rectangle of the plot canvas\&. When using styled backgrounds Qt assumes, that the canvas doesn't fill its area completely ( f\&.e because of rounded borders ) and fills the area below the canvas\&. When this is done with gradients it might result in a serious performance bottleneck - depending on the size\&.
.PP
When the Opaque attribute is enabled the canvas tries to identify the gaps with some heuristics and to fill those only\&.
.PP
\fBWarning:\fP
.RS 4
Will not work for semitransparent backgrounds 
.RE
.PP

.TP
\fB\fIHackStyledBackground \fP\fP
Try to improve painting of styled backgrounds\&. \fBQwtPlotCanvas\fP supports the box model attributes for customizing the layout with style sheets\&. Unfortunately the design of Qt style sheets has no concept how to handle backgrounds with rounded corners - beside of padding\&.
.PP
When HackStyledBackground is enabled the plot canvas tries to separate the background from the background border by reverse engineering to paint the background before and the border after the plot items\&. In this order the border gets perfectly antialiased and you can avoid some pixel artifacts in the corners\&. 
.TP
\fB\fIImmediatePaint \fP\fP
When ImmediatePaint is set \fBreplot()\fP calls repaint() instead of update()\&.
