Hi António:

I am glad the present test_memqt_example and memqt_example targets
that I implemented work well for you, and I look forward to your
planned future "interesting" changes to memqt_example, and any other
help you can give to keep the Qt-related parts of PLplot up to date
with Qt5.

My Qt skills are limited so my own plans for the Qt-related parts of
PLplot are simple, and I think I have mentioned them on list before.
But just to remind you (and the list), my plan is to deprecate our Qt4
support (likely for the forthcoming release) and remove it altogether
for the release after that which should very much simplify the
Qt-related part of our build system (since for Qt4 all the CMake logic
is hand-generated, while Qt5 CMake support is much better automated).
And, of course, I am quite happy to support with any CMake logic (as I
have just done) anything new for the Qt5-related parts of PLplot that
you want to implement.

Best wishes,

Alan
