/** \brief this virtual base class describes one of the graphs, which are part of a JKQtPlotter object
 * \ingroup jkqtplotter_plots
 *
 * Each possible graph is represented by a subgraph of this. So additional plots may be created by
 * deriving new JKQTPgraph classes. To do so implement/overwrite these functions:
 *   - void draw(JKQTPEnhancedPainter& painter);
 *   - void drawKeyMarker(JKQTPEnhancedPainter& painter, QRectF& rect);
 *   - bool getXMinMax(double& minx, double& maxx, double& smallestGreaterZero);
 *   - void getGraphsYMinMax(double& miny, double& maxy);
 *   - QColor getKeyLabelColor()=0;
 * .
 *
 * There are two properties datarange_start and datarange_end. By default they are -1 and therefore ignored.
 * if they are != -1 the plotter only displays the datapoints with the indexes [datarange_start .. datarange_end]
 * although there might be more data points available (range [0 .. maxDataPoints]). The datarange is cut at the
 * full range, i.e. if datarange_end>maxDataPoints the plotter displays [datarange_start .. maxDataPoints].

/*! \brief This implements line plots where the data is taken from a user supplied function \f$ y=f(x) \f$
    \ingroup jkqtplotter_plots

    This class implements an intelligent plotting algorithm for functions. It starts by sampling
    the function at minSamples positions. Then each function interval is bisected recursively if
    necessary. To do so the function is evaluated at the mid point and the slopes \f$ \alpha_{\mbox{left}} \f$
    and \f$ \alpha_{\mbox{right}} \f$ of the two linear segments are compared. the midpoint is added
    to the graph if \f[ \left|\alpha_{\mbox{right}}-\alpha_{\mbox{left}}\right|>\mbox{slopeTolerance} \f]
    In addition all sampling points except minimum and maximum are beeing shifted by a random fraction their
    distance to the other points. This helps to prevent beats when sampling periodic functions.

    By default the sift parameter is, so the bar is centered at the x-value. The width is 0.9,
    so adjacent bars are plotted with a small distance between them. It is possible to use these two parameters
    to plot multiple bars for every x-value, by having on JKQTPstepHorizontalGraph object per
    set of bars that belong together. For example for three bars per x-value one would set:
    \verbatim
          width=0.3
          shift=-0.3 / 0 / +0.3
    \endverbatim
    This results in a bargraph, as shown here:

    \image html plot_bargraphhorplot.png
