 \brief QmitkChartWidget is a widget to display various charts based on the javascript chart library plotly.
 * \details Data is added via AddData1D() or AddData2D().\n
 * There can be multiple charts (of different types with different properties) created by calling AddData1D or AddData2D multiple times.\n\n
 * The following chart types are supported:
 * * line chart
 * * bar chart
 * * spline chart
 * * pie chart
 * * scatter chart
 * * area chart
 * * area spline chart.
 *
 * Technical details: The javascript code is embedded in a QWebEngineView. The actual js code is implemented in resource\Chart.js.
 * \sa https://plot.ly/javascript/ for further information about the used javaScript library.
