Method updatePosition

qcustomplot/qcustomplot.cpp:29903–29951

! If the tracer is connected with a graph (\ref setGraph), this function updates the tracer's \a position to reside on the graph data, depending on the configured key (\ref setGraphKey). It is called automatically on every redraw and normally doesn't need to be called manually. One exception is when you want to read the tracer coordinates via \a position and are not sure that the grap

  If there is no graph set on this tracer, this function does nothing.
