  \brief A class, which displays raster data

  Raster data is a grid of pixel values, that can be represented
  as a QImage. It is used for many types of information like
  spectrograms, cartograms, geographical maps ...

  Often a plot has several types of raster data organized in layers.
  ( f.e a geographical map, with weather statistics ).
  Using setAlpha() raster items can be stacked easily.

  QwtPlotRasterItem is only implemented for images of the following formats:
  QImage::Format_Indexed8, QImage::Format_ARGB32.

        renderImage() is called, whenever the image cache is not valid,
        or the scales, or the size of the canvas has changed. This type
        of cache is only useful for improving the performance of hide/show
        operations. All other situations are already handled by the
        plot canvas cache.

          The expansion algorithm rounds the pixel borders in the same 
          way as the axis ticks, what is usually better than the
          scaling algorithm implemented in Qt.

          document/file. If this is possible for a document format
          depends on the implementation of the specific QPaintEngine.
