  \brief Base class for items on the plot canvas

  A plot item is "something", that can be painted on the plot canvas,
  or only affects the scales of the plot widget. They can be categorized as:

  - Representator\n
    A "Representator" is an item that represents some sort of data
    on the plot canvas. The different representator classes are organized
    according to the characteristics of the data:
    - QwtPlotMarker
      Represents a point or a horizontal/vertical coordinate
    - QwtPlotCurve
      Represents a series of points
    - QwtPlotSpectrogram ( QwtPlotRasterItem )
      Represents raster data
    - ...

  - Decorators\n
    A "Decorator" is an item, that displays additional information, that
    is not related to any data:
    - QwtPlotGrid
    - QwtPlotScaleItem
    - QwtPlotSvgItem
    - ...

  Depending on the QwtPlotItem::ItemAttribute flags, an item is included
  into autoscaling or has an entry on the legend.

  Before misusing the existing item classes it might be better to
  implement a new type of plot item
  ( don't implement a watermark as spectrogram ).
  Deriving a new type of QwtPlotItem primarily means to implement
  the YourPlotItem::draw() method.

  \sa The cpuplot example shows the implementation of additional plot items.
