looks ok. better still have the different fields not just left positioned. the real problem in qt that they float around.
I created something like this often in j6. There are two example in wiki (or used to be) for this in j6. Should be (probably is) possible in jhs. I have not done the plot parts there. In qt it is difficult to get the fields to stay in the right place.
