  \brief Set the drawing canvas of the plot widget

  QwtPlot invokes methods of the canvas as meta methods ( see QMetaObject ).

  they allow to use canvas implementations that are derived from
  QWidget or QGLWidget.

  The following meta methods could be implemented:

  - replot()
    When the canvas doesn't offer a replot method, QwtPlot calls
    update() instead.

  - borderPath()
    The border path is necessary to clip the content of the canvas
    When the canvas doesn't have any special border ( f.e rounded corners )
    it is o.k. not to implement this method.

  \brief Insert a legend

  If the position legend is \c QwtPlot::LeftLegend or \c QwtPlot::RightLegend
  the legend will be organized in one column from top to down.
  Otherwise the legend items will be placed in a table
  with a best fit number of columns from left to right.

  insertLegend() will set the plot widget as parent for the legend.
  The legend will be deleted in the destructor of the plot or when
  another legend is inserted.

  Legends, that are not inserted into the layout of the plot widget
  need to connect to the legendDataChanged() signal. Calling updateLegend()
  initiates this signal for an initial update. When the application code
  wants to implement its own layout this also needs to be done for
  rendering plots to a document ( see QwtPlotRenderer ).

  \param legend Legend
  \param pos The legend's position. For top/left position the number
             of columns will be limited to 1, otherwise it will be set to
             unlimited.

  \param ratio Ratio between legend and the bounding rectangle
               of title, canvas and axes. The legend will be shrunk
               if it would need more space than the given ratio.
               The ratio is limited to ]0.0 .. 1.0]. In case of <= 0.0
               it will be reset to the default ratio.
               The default vertical/horizontal ratio is 0.33/0.5.
