.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP 
A plot item, which displays any graphical shape, that can be defined by a QPainterPath\&. 

A QPainterPath is a shape composed from intersecting and uniting regions, rectangles, ellipses or irregular areas defined by lines, and curves\&. \fBQwtPlotShapeItem\fP displays a shape with a pen and brush\&.
.PP
\fBQwtPlotShapeItem\fP offers a couple of optimizations like clipping or weeding\&. These algorithms need to convert the painter path into polygons that might be less performant for paths built from curves and ellipses\&.

\fB\fIClipPolygons \fP\fP
Clip polygons before painting them\&. In situations, where points are far outside the visible area (f\&.e when zooming deep) this might be a substantial improvement for the painting performance
.PP
But polygon clipping will convert the painter path into polygons what might introduce a negative impact on the performance of paths composed from curves or ellipses\&.

Set the tolerance for the weeding optimization\&. After translating the shape into target device coordinate ( usually widget geometries ) the painter path can be simplified by a point weeding algorithm ( Douglas-Peucker )\&.

For shapes built from curves and ellipses weeding might have the opposite effect because they have to be expanded to polygons\&.
