      \brief Paint attributes
 
      - PaintCached\n
        Paint double buffered and reuse the content of the pixmap buffer 
        for some spontaneous repaints that happen when a plot gets unhidden, 
        deiconified or changes the focus.
        Disabling the cache will improve the performance for
        incremental paints (using QwtPlotCurve::draw). 

      - PaintPacked\n
        Suppress system background repaints and paint it together with 
        the canvas contents.
        Painting packed might avoid flickering for expensive repaints,
        when there is a notable gap between painting the background
        and the plot contents.

      The default setting enables PaintCached and PaintPacked

      \brief Focus indicator

      - NoFocusIndicator\n
        Don't paint a focus indicator

      - CanvasFocusIndicator\n
        The focus is related to the complete canvas.
        Paint the focus indicator using paintFocus()

      - ItemFocusIndicator\n
        The focus is related to an item (curve, point, ...) on
        the canvas. It is up to the application to display a
        focus indication using f.e. highlighting.
