Right, now I understand. :o) You need to create yourself a QPixmap which 
allows you to use a QPainter object to draw out the graph and coordinates 
which you want to display. You can then convert the QPixmap to something like 
a BMP or JPG which you can display on screen in a window.

The interface for doing this sort of thing from Qt is low level, which means 
complicated and fiddly! If it's possible for your application, you might do 
better to draw your BMP image using Perl (the GD package comes to mind, but 
there might be others) then show the image file on screen using Qt.
