QChart Class

Member Function Documentation

[explicit] QChart::QChart(QGraphicsItem *parent = nullptr, Qt::WindowFlags wFlags = Qt::WindowFlags())

Constructs a chart object that is a child of parent. The properties specified by wFlags are passed to the QGraphicsWidget constructor.

[virtual] QChart::~QChart()

Deletes the chart object and its children, such as the series and axis objects added to it.

void QChart::addAxis(QAbstractAxis *axis, Qt::Alignment alignment)

Adds the axis axis to the chart aligned as specified by alignment. The chart takes the ownership of the axis.

See also removeAxis(), createDefaultAxes(), and QAbstractSeries::attachAxis().

void QChart::addSeries(QAbstractSeries *series)

Adds the series series to the chart and takes ownership of it.

See also removeSeries(), removeAllSeries(), createDefaultAxes(), and QAbstractSeries::attachAxis().

QList<QAbstractAxis *> QChart::axes(Qt::Orientations orientation = Qt::Horizontal|Qt::Vertical, QAbstractSeries *series = nullptr) const

Returns the axes attached to the series series with the orientation specified by orientation. If no series is specified, all axes added to the chart with the specified orientation are returned.

See also addAxis() and createDefaultAxes().

QBrush QChart::backgroundBrush() const

Gets the brush that is used for painting the background of the chart area.

See also setBackgroundBrush().

QPen QChart::backgroundPen() const

Gets the pen that is used for painting the background of the chart area.

See also setBackgroundPen().

void QChart::createDefaultAxes()

Creates axes for the chart based on the series that have already been added to the chart. Any axes previously added to the chart will be deleted.

If there are several QXYSeries derived series added to the chart and no series of other types have been added, then only one pair of axes is created. If there are several series of different types added to the chart, then each series gets its own axes pair.

The axes specific to the series can be later obtained from the chart by providing the series as the parameter for the axes() function call. QPieSeries does not create any axes.

See also axes() and QAbstractSeries::attachAxis().

bool QChart::isZoomed()

Returns true if any series has a zoomed domain.

QLegend *QChart::legend() const

Returns the legend object of the chart. Ownership stays with the chart.

QPointF QChart::mapToPosition(const QPointF &value, QAbstractSeries *series = nullptr)

Returns the position on the chart that corresponds to the value value in the series specified by series.

QPointF QChart::mapToValue(const QPointF &position, QAbstractSeries *series = nullptr)

Returns the value in the series specified by series at the position specified by position in a chart.

QBrush QChart::plotAreaBackgroundBrush() const

Returns the brush used to fill the background of the plot area of the chart.

See also plotArea(), plotAreaBackgroundVisible, plotAreaBackgroundPen(), and setPlotAreaBackgroundBrush().

QPen QChart::plotAreaBackgroundPen() const

Returns the pen used to draw the background of the plot area of the chart.

See also plotArea(), plotAreaBackgroundVisible, plotAreaBackgroundBrush(), and setPlotAreaBackgroundPen().

void QChart::removeAllSeries()

Removes and deletes all series objects that have been added to the chart.

See also addSeries() and removeSeries().

void QChart::removeAxis(QAbstractAxis *axis)

Removes the axis axis from the chart. The chart releases the ownership of the specified axis object.

See also addAxis(), createDefaultAxes(), and QAbstractSeries::detachAxis().

void QChart::removeSeries(QAbstractSeries *series)

Removes the series series from the chart. The chart releases the ownership of the specified series object.

See also addSeries() and removeAllSeries().

void QChart::scroll(qreal dx, qreal dy)

Scrolls the visible area of the chart by the distance specified by dx and dy.

For polar charts, dx indicates the angle along the angular axis instead of distance.

QList<QAbstractSeries *> QChart::series() const

Returns all series that are added to the chart.

See also addSeries(), removeSeries(), and removeAllSeries().

void QChart::setBackgroundBrush(const QBrush &brush)

Sets the brush that is used for painting the background of the chart area to brush.

See also backgroundBrush().

void QChart::setBackgroundPen(const QPen &pen)

Sets the pen that is used for painting the background of the chart area to pen.

See also backgroundPen().

void QChart::setPlotAreaBackgroundBrush(const QBrush &brush)

Sets the brush used to fill the background of the plot area of the chart to brush.

See also plotArea(), plotAreaBackgroundVisible, setPlotAreaBackgroundPen(), and plotAreaBackgroundBrush().

void QChart::setPlotAreaBackgroundPen(const QPen &pen)

Sets the pen used to draw the background of the plot area of the chart to pen.

See also plotArea(), plotAreaBackgroundVisible, setPlotAreaBackgroundBrush(), and plotAreaBackgroundPen().

void QChart::setTitleBrush(const QBrush &brush)

Sets the brush used for drawing the title text to brush.

See also titleBrush().

void QChart::setTitleFont(const QFont &font)

Sets the font that is used for drawing the chart title to font.

See also titleFont().

QBrush QChart::titleBrush() const

Returns the brush used for drawing the title text.

See also setTitleBrush().

QFont QChart::titleFont() const

Gets the font that is used for drawing the chart title.

See also setTitleFont().

void QChart::zoom(qreal factor)

Zooms into the view by the custom factor factor.

A factor over 1.0 zooms into the view and a factor between 0.0 and 1.0 zooms out of it.

void QChart::zoomIn()

Zooms into the view by a factor of two.

void QChart::zoomIn(const QRectF &rect)

Zooms into the view to a maximum level at which the rectangle rect is still fully visible.

void QChart::zoomOut()

Zooms out of the view by a factor of two.

void QChart::zoomReset()

Resets the series domains to what they were before any zoom method was called.
