/** \brief base class for 2D plotter classes (used by the plotter widget JKQTPlotter)
 * \ingroup jkqtpplotterclasses
 *
 * This class implements basic functionalities for the plotter classes. Those are:
 *   -# data storage using a JKQTPDatastore object
 *   -# coordinate transforms
 *   -# a set of properties for the graphs (colors, widthes ...) and also a system (see getNextStyle() to automatically
 *     choose a drawing style for different graphs.
 *   -# drawing the coordinate axes, grids ... (logarithmic and linear)
 *   -# saveing and printing the resulting plots
 * .
 *
 * This class is NOT a widget, if you need a plotting widget, use JKQTPlotter. This class may be used to
 * plot using a JKQTPEnhancedPainter.
 *
 * \see JKQTPlotter a QWidget class that displays a JKQTBasePlotter plot on a Qt Window.
 *
 *
 * \tableofcontents
 *
 *
 * \section jkqtplotter_base_datastore Data Storage
 * As already mentioned this class does not provide means to draw graphs, but it contains a basic mechanism to associate
 * data with it. This is imeplemented, using a JKQTPDatastore object together with some convenience access methods. No further
 * data access is implemented and child classes are NOT forced to use this datastore. Hide it if you want. JKQTPlotter shows
 * how to use it. This class implement a graph management, where graphs simply point to a set of columns inside the datastore
 * that contain the actual plot data!
 *
 * If you call the \link JKQTBasePlotter::JKQTBasePlotter() constructor \endlink with no arguments, it will create an internal
 * datastore object and you can start adding data by using getDatastore(). If you have an external JKQTPDatastore object you can
 * give it as parameter to the constructor or use one of the other methods:
 *  - useExternalDatastore(): \copybrief JKQTBasePlotter::useExternalDatastore()
 *  - useAsInternalDatastore(): \copybrief JKQTBasePlotter::useAsInternalDatastore()
 *  - useInternalDatastore(): \copybrief JKQTBasePlotter::useInternalDatastore()
 *  - forceInternalDatastore(): \copybrief JKQTBasePlotter::forceInternalDatastore()
 *.
 *
 *
 *
 * \section jkqtplotter_base_systems_baseplotter Coordinate Systems and Transformations
 * These topics are discussed in the help for JKQTPCoordinateAxis. There is a set of coordinate transform
 * methods (x2p(), y2p(), p2x(), p2y() which only call the respective methods in xAxis and yAxis objects.
 *
 *
 * \section jkqtplotter_base_grids_baseplotter Axis Ticks and Grids
 *    - The plotting of coordinate axes and grids, as well as coordinate transforms is done by
 *      JKQTPCoordinateAxis descendents (see documentation there)
 *  .
 *  If you want to set the axis properties, use getXAxis() or getYAxis() to get a pointer to the axis objects which then
 *  may be used to set the axis properties.
 *
 *
 * \section jkqtbaseplotter_appearance_and_style Appearance & Styling of the Graph
 *
 *
 * \subsection jkqtplotter_base_plotsize Plot Sizes & Borders
 *
 * JKQTBasePlotter itself is no QWidget. It is merely tool to represent, manage and draw a graph onto any durface.
 * JKQTPlotter then uses an internal JKQTBasePlotter instance to provide a QWidget.
 *
 * Still the JKQTBasePlotter needs a way to represent the location of the graph, the graph axes etc. inside
 * a drawing rectangle (of size widgetWidth * widgetHeight ). The plot borders are then offsets to the plot
 * indise that rectangele. This image illustrated the principle:
 *
 * \image html plot_widget_orientation.png
 *
 * When the plot is actually drawn, it may happen, that additional elements need to be positioned between the
 * actual coordinate rectangle and the widget worder (e.g. axis labels, ticks, color bars etc.). Therefore
 * this objects manages a set of internally calculated variables that also incorporate those dynamic elements.
 * These are e.g. internalPlotBorderLeft, internalPlotBorderTop, internalPlotBorderRight, ... Their names all
 * start with \c internal... .
 *
 *
 * \subsection jkqtplotter_base_aspectratios Aspect Ratios
 * First note that this functionality is only available and activated if both axes are linear!
 *
 * You can set two different aspect ratios:
 *   - The ratio of plotWidth/plotHeight (setAspectRatio(), setMaintainAspectRatio()) will keep the plots pixel-width and height at a certain value.
 *     \f[ \mbox{aspectRatio}=\frac{\mbox{plotWidth}}{\mbox{plotHeight}} \f]
 *   - The ratio of (xmax-xmin)/(ymax-ymin) (setAxisAspectRatio(), setMaintainAxisAspectRatio()) will keep the displayed axis ranges in a certain ratio.
 *     \f[ \mbox{axisAspectRatio}=\frac{\left|x_\text{max}-x_\text{min}\right|}{\left|y_\text{max}-y_\text{min}\right|} \f]
 * .
 * So to achieve different effects, use these combinations:
 *   - you have a 200x100 range where each 1x1-pixel should have an aspect ratio of 4:
 *     \code
 *        setAspectRatio(200.0/100.0);
 *        setAxisAspectRatio(4.0*getAspectRatio());
 *     \endcode
 * .
 *
 *
 * \subsection jkqtplotter_base_key Graph Keys (Legends)
 * This class provides means to plot a key together with the functions. The plotting is only partially implemented in this base class, and has to be
 * implemented by child classes, as no graph management, that could provide a title for a specific graph, is implemented here. Key Plotting is
 * performed in the plotKey() method. This method basically draws a frame and background and then calls plotKeyContent() to draw the actual contents.
 * The size of the key is determined by a call to getKeyExtent(), while it's position and plotting style is determined by the \c key_... parameters.
 * If getKeyExtent() returns 0 for height or width, no key is plotted. The \c key_... parameters are designed to be rather common for any usual kind
 * of key, so any implementation of key should be able to use them to parametrize the output. Note however that additional parameters might be defined
 * in child classes.
 *
 * \image html plot_key.png
 *
 * As it may be convenient to position the key completely outside the graph this class may change the plotBorders to make the key fit outside
 * SO if you use a keyPosition \b outside the graph you should NOT keep any space for the key in the margins, as the program will change them to
 * accomodate the size of the key. If you select an \b inside key position the key will be plotted OVER the graph, i.e. the margins won't be changed
 * Note that the margin change is internal and not visible in the class interface!
 *
 * There is also a possibility to determine the size of the key automatically, so all text fits in. This is activted by the property keyAutosize ( \copybrief JKQTPKeyStyle::autosize ). If this
 * is \c true the function getKeyExtent() has to check the width of every key item and take it into account when calculating the width and height of the
 * key content. By default this feature is switched ON.
 *
 *
 * \section jkqtbaseplotter_dataexport_print Printing, Saving & Exporting
 *
 * \subsection jkqtplotter_base_saveprint Saving and Printing Graphs
 * This class implement a set of function to save and print the graphs:
 *   - print() prints the graph on a QPrinter object
 *   - saveAsPixelImage() saves the plot into a pixel image file (PNG, TIFF, ... formats, as supported by Qt)
 *   - saveAsPDF() saves the graph as a PDF file (using the Qt printing engine)
 *   - saveAsSVG() saves the graph as a SVG file (using the Qt SVG library)
 *   - saveImage() saves the graph
 * .
 * You can also copy the contents of the plot into the clipboard:
 *   - copyPixelImage()
 * .
 *
 * \subsection jkqtplotter_base_dataexport Exporting Graph Data
 * This class implement a set of function to save the data of the graphs:
 *   - saveData() saves the data of the plot
 *   - saveAsCSV() saves the data of the plot as comma separated values
 *   - saveAsSYLK() saves the data of the plot as SYLK spreadsheet
 *   - saveAsDIF() saves the data of the plot as data interchange format file
 *   - saveAsMatlab() saves the data of the plot as a CSV file suitable for Matlab
 *   - saveAsSemicolonSV() saves the data of the plot as a Semicolon Separated Values (SSV)
 *   - saveAsTabSV() saves the data of the plot as a Tabulator Separated Values (CSV) file
 *   - saveAsGerExcelCSV()  saves the data of the plot as a Text file (SSV) suitable for german excel, i.e. with comma as decimal separator
 * .
 * You can also copy the graphs' data into the clipboard:
 *   - copyData()
 *   - copyDataMatlab()
 * .
 *
 *
 * \section  JKQTBASEPLOTTER_SYNCMULTIPLOT Synchronizing Several Plots
 *
 * Often a single plot is not sufficient, but several plots need to be aligned with respect to each other:
 *
 * \image html test_multiplot.png
 *
 * This can be achieved by putting several JKQTPlotter instances into a
 * <a href="http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/layout.html">Qt Layout</a>. Then you can fill each plot differently and
 * set the x-/y-range of each plot by hand. This method works for simple cases, but has several drawbacks:
 *   - Due to the independent and automatic layouting of each plot, the axes do not need to be aligned properly<br>
 *     \image html jkqtbaseplotter_synchronization_unequalaxes.png
 *   - When you print the plot, the printing does not know about the layout and the other plots in it. Therefor
 *     it will only print the plot itself.<br>
 *     \image html jkqtbaseplotter_synchronization_nogridprint.png "Printing with grid-printing-mode deactivated"<br>
 *     \image html jkqtbaseplotter_synchronization_withgridprint.png "Printing with grid-printing-mode activated"
 *   - when you zoom/pan in one of the plots (e.g. using the mouse), the other plots will not adapt their
 *     axes to match the new area, but especially in cases as in the image above it would be beneficial,
 *     that tha x-axis of the plot at the bottom follows the x-axis of the plot above etc.<br>
 *     \image html jkqtbaseplotter_synchronization_nonsyncedxrange.png
 * .
 *
 *
 * To overcome these limitations, JKQTPlotter (and JKQTBasePlotter) offer an API with which you can declare relations between
 * different plots (one of them is made the master) and you can synchronize the axes of two plots, when
 * zooming (also when calling e.g. zoomToFit() or setXY() ). This API is:
 *   - \ref JKQTBASEPLOTTER_SYNCMULTIPLOT_SYNC
 *   - \ref JKQTBASEPLOTTER_SYNCMULTIPLOT_GRIDPRINT
 * .
 *
 * \subsection JKQTBASEPLOTTER_SYNCMULTIPLOT_SYNC Synchronizing Axis Range & Plot Width
 *
 * You can synchronize the plot width and axis range between two JKQTPlotter instaces using:
 *   - synchronizeToMaster() / JKQTBasePlotter::synchronizeToMaster() synchronizes the parent JKQTPlotter with another JKQTPlotter. With two boolean-parameters
 *         you can specify the axes to be synchronized. E.g. in the case above, you would call:
 *         \code
 *              // synchronize width/x-axis of plotResid to width/x-axis of plotMain
 *              plotResid->synchronizeToMaster(plotMain, JKQTBasePlotter::sdXAxis, true, true, true);
 *
 *              // synchronize y-axis of width/plotResidHist to y-axis of width/plotResid
 *              plotResidHist->synchronizeToMaster(plotResid, JKQTBasePlotter::sdYAxis, true, true, true);
 *         \endcode
 *         This will synchronize the x-axes of the top (\c plotMain ) and bottom-left plot (\c plotResid ),
 *         as well as the y-axes of the bottom-left (\c plotResid ) and bottom-right plot (\c plotResidHist ).
 *         After this call they will have the same size in screen pixels and always span the same range
 *         in plot coordinates.
 *   - synchronizeXToMaster() / JKQTBasePlotter::synchronizeXToMaster() like synchronizeToMaster() / JKQTBasePlotter::synchronizeToMaster(),
 *     but synchronizes only the x-axes
 *   - synchronizeYToMaster() / JKQTBasePlotter::synchronizeYToMaster() like synchronizeToMaster() / JKQTBasePlotter::synchronizeToMaster(),
 *     but synchronizes only the y-axes
 *   - resetMasterSynchronization() / JKQTBasePlotter::resetMasterSynchronization() deletes all synchronizations
 *       from the JKQTPlotter
 * .
 *
 * \see See \ref JKQTPlotterMultiPlotLayout for an extensive example of the functionality.
 *
 *
 * \subsection JKQTBASEPLOTTER_SYNCMULTIPLOT_GRIDPRINT Grid Printing/Desclaring Relations between Plots
 *
 * Usually each JKQTPlotter/JKQTBasePlotter prints or exports only itself. But in many cases you might want to
 * add several plots that form a grid layout and also want to export them as one image/print them on one page.
 * To do this, JKQTPlotter/JKQTBasePlotter offers the <b>"grid printing" mode</b>. In this mode, you can declare
 * relations between different JKQTPlotters/JKQTBasePlotters by putting them in a rectangular grid (like in a
 * <a reh="http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qgridlayout.html">QGridLayout</a>). then any export/print action will draw all (explicitly)
 * decalred graphs.
 *
 * \image html jkqtplotter_gridprint.png
 *
 * The grid printing API is composed of these functions:
 *   - setGridPrinting() enables grid printing for this JKQTPlotter. If set to \c true , and you print afterwards,
 *     the printout (or export) will not only contain the plot itself, but also additional plots that were
 *     declared using addGridPrintingPlotter() (see below).
 *   - addGridPrintingPlotter() add a new plotter \a plotterOther for grid printing mode, at location \a x / \a y
 *     E.g. in the example shown above, you could call:
 *     \code
 *          plotMain->setGridPrinting(true);
 *          plotMain->addGridPrintingPlotter(0,1,plotResid);
 *          plotMain->addGridPrintingPlotter(1,1,plotResidHist);
 *     \endcode
 *   - setGridPrintingCurrentX() / setGridPrintingCurrentY() / setGridPrintingCurrentPos()
 *     sets the location of the calling plot inside the grid. <i>By default each plot assumes to be at (0,0).</i>
 *   - clearGridPrintingPlotters() clear all additional plotters for grid printing mode
 * .
 *
 * \see See \ref JKQTPlotterMultiPlotLayout for an extensive example of the functionality.
 *

 *
 * \section jkqtplotter_base_userprops User Properties
 * There is a subset of options that describe how the user interacted with the plotter (export/print scaling factors etc, save directories,
 * other export settings, ...). These are not stored/loaded using saveSettings() and loadSettings(), but using saveUserSettings() and loadUserSettings().
 * These methods MAY (strictly optional and turned off by default) be called by saveSettings() and loadSettings(), if the property userSettigsFilename ( \copybrief userSettigsFilename )is
 * set (not-empty). In this case the suer settings are stored/loaded also everytime they are changed by the user or programmatically.
