/**
 *@class KPlotWidget
 *
 *@short Generic data plotting widget.
 *
 *Widget for drawing plots. The basic idea behind KPlotWidget is that 
 *you don't have to worry about any transformation from your data's 
 *natural units to screen pixel coordinates; this is handled internally
 *by the widget.  
 *
 *Data to be plotted are represented by one or more instances of 
 *KPlotObject.  KPlotObject contains a list of QPointFs to be plotted 
 *(again, in the data's natural units), as well as information about how 
 *the data are to be rendered in the plot (i.e., as separate points or 
 *connected by lines?  With what color and point style? etc).  See 
 *KPlotObject for more information.
 *
 *KPlotWidget automatically adds axis labels with tickmarks and tick 
 *labels.  These are encapsulated in the KPlotAxis class.  All you have 
 *to do is set the limits of the plotting area in data units, and 
 *KPlotWidget wil figure out the optimal positions and labels for the 
 *tickmarks on the axes.
 *
 *Example of usage:
 *
 * @code
KPlotWidget *kpw = new KPlotWidget( parent );
// setting our limits for the plot
kpw->setLimits( 1.0, 5.0, 1.0, 25.0 );

// creating a plot object whose points are connected by red lines ...
KPlotObject *kpo = new KPlotObject( Qt::red, KPlotObject::Lines );
// ... adding some points to it ...
for ( float x = 1.0; x <= 5.0; x += 0.1 )
    kpo->addPoint( x, x*x );

// ... and adding the object to the plot widget
kpw->addPlotObject( kpo );
 * @endcode
 *
 *@note KPlotWidget will take care of the objects added to it, so when
 *clearing the objects list (eg with removeAllPlotObjects()) any previous 
 *reference to a KPlotObject already added to a KPlotWidget will be invalid.
 *
