  \brief A class which draws a scale inside the plot canvas

  QwtPlotScaleItem can be used to draw an axis inside the plot canvas.
  It might by synchronized to one of the axis of the plot, but can
  also display its own ticks and labels.

  It is allowed to synchronize the scale item with a disabled axis.
  In plots with vertical and horizontal scale items, it might be
  necessary to remove ticks at the intersections, by overloading
  updateScaleDiv().

  The scale might be at a specific position (f.e 0.0) or it might be
  aligned to a canvas border.

  \par Example
  The following example shows how to replace the left axis, by a scale item
  at the x position 0.0.
  \verbatim
QwtPlotScaleItem *scaleItem =
    new QwtPlotScaleItem(QwtScaleDraw::RightScale, 0.0);
scaleItem->setFont(plot->axisWidget(QwtPlot::yLeft)->font());
scaleItem->attach(plot);

plot->enableAxis(QwtPlot::yLeft, false);
\endverbatim
