.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP 
A class for drawing scales\&. 

\fBQwtScaleDraw\fP can be used to draw linear or logarithmic scales\&. A scale has a position, an alignment and a length, which can be specified \&. The labels can be rotated and aligned to the ticks using \fBsetLabelRotation()\fP and \fBsetLabelAlignment()\fP\&.
.PP
After a scale division has been specified as a \fBQwtScaleDiv\fP object using \fBQwtAbstractScaleDraw::setScaleDiv(const QwtScaleDiv &s)\fP, the scale can be drawn with the \fBQwtAbstractScaleDraw::draw()\fP member\&.
