    plot->addGraph(graph1);
    plot->addGraph(graph2);
    plot->addGraph(graph3);

    // 6. now we set the graphs, so they are plotted side-by-side
    //    This function searches all JKQTPBarHorizontalGraph in the current
    //    plot and sets their shift/scale so they form a nice plot with
    //    side-by-side groups

        //    labels for these groups (stored in L). In order to display these labels,
        //    we have to tell the x-Axis to use these special labels:
        plot->getXAxis()->addAxisTickLabels(X, L, Ndata);
        //    also we can rotate the labels a bit (by 45 degree), so they fit better
        plot->getXAxis()->setTickLabelAngle(45);

    }

    // 8. finally we move the plot key/legend to the outside, top-right
    //    and lay it out as a single row
    //    NOTE: plot is a descendent of QWidget, which uses an internal object of
    //          type JKQTBasePlotter, which does the actual plotting.
    //          So many properties of the plot are only available in this internal
    //          object, which you can access by plot->getPlotter().
