[Development] Qt Charts poor dynamic/resolution with OpenGL

[Miikka Heikkinen]

Hi.

I wasn't involved with Charts at its inception, so I don't really know the original motivations. I suspect the aim was to provide easy to use module for simple charting use cases without needing 3rd party libraries, but not be the be-all-end-all charting solution for all users. That's how I see it these days, at any rate. There certainly isn't enough development resources put towards it to aspire to much else at the moment.

Maybe you could shed some light on the future of this module:

what has happened is, that Qt project has started a new module, that 
naturally was/is behind 3rd party projects, that exist since many years.
AFAIK the motivation to start this project was more a commercial driven 
decision than, that the existing solutions were not good enough.

I'm doing the Qwt project for almost 18 years now and I'm fine if at some 
point it can be replaced by an official package. But to me Qt Charts 
looks like something that didn't work as a commercial idea and now rests 
more or less idle in the repositories ?

Or if you don't intend to make it the best solution: what is the 
motivation of the Qt project in having this module at all, when there are 
several free and actively maintained chart packages around ?

ciao,
Uwe
