Member Type Documentation

enum class QAbstractSeries::SeriesType

This enum describes the type of the series.

ConstantValueDescription
QAbstractSeries::SeriesType::Line0A line graph.
QAbstractSeries::SeriesType::Bar2A bar graph.
QAbstractSeries::SeriesType::Scatter4A scatter graph.
QAbstractSeries::SeriesType::Pie3A pie graph.
QAbstractSeries::SeriesType::Spline5A spline graph.
QAbstractSeries::SeriesType::Area1An area graph.

Property Documentation

hoverable : bool

Controls if the series is hoverable.

Controls if the series can be hovered with mouse/touch. By default, hoverable is set to false.

Access functions:

bool isHoverable() const
void setHoverable(bool newHoverable)

Notifier signal:

void hoverableChanged()

[read-only] legendData : const QList<QLegendData>

Contains information needed to create a legend marker for a data set in a graph.

Access functions:

const QList<QLegendData> legendData() const

Notifier signal:

void legendDataChanged()

See also QLegendData.

name : QString

This property holds the name of the series.

The name is displayed in the legend for the series and it supports HTML formatting.

Access functions:

QString name() const
void setName(const QString &name)

Notifier signal:

void nameChanged()

opacity : qreal

This property holds the opacity of the series.

By default, the opacity is 1.0. The valid values range from 0.0 (transparent) to 1.0 (opaque).

Access functions:

qreal opacity() const
void setOpacity(qreal opacity)

Notifier signal:

void opacityChanged()

selectable : bool

Controls if the series is selectable.

Controls if the series can be selected with mouse/touch. By default, selectable is set to false.

Access functions:

bool isSelectable() const
void setSelectable(bool selectable)

Notifier signal:

void selectableChanged()

[read-only] type : const SeriesType

This property holds the type of the series.

Access functions:

virtual QAbstractSeries::SeriesType type() const = 0

valuesMultiplier : qreal

Controls the series values effective visible value.

This variable can be used for animating the series values so they scale from 0 to actual value size. By default, the valuesMultiplier is 1.0. The valid values range from 0.0 (height 0) to 1.0 (full value).

Access functions:

qreal valuesMultiplier() const
void setValuesMultiplier(qreal valuesMultiplier)

Notifier signal:

void valuesMultiplierChanged()

visible : bool

Visibility of the series.

The visibility used for this series. By default, visible is set to true.

Access functions:

bool isVisible() const
void setVisible(bool visible = true)

Notifier signal:

void visibleChanged()

Member Function Documentation

[override virtual noexcept] QAbstractSeries::~QAbstractSeries()

Virtual destructor for the graph series.

QGraphsView *QAbstractSeries::graph() const

Returns the graph that the series belongs to.

Set automatically when the series is added to the graph, and unset when the series is removed from the graph.

void QAbstractSeries::hide()

Sets the visibility of the series to false.

See also setVisible() and isVisible().

[signal] void QAbstractSeries::hover(const QString &seriesName, QPointF position, QPointF value)

This signal is emitted when the series hovering changes. The name of the series is in seriesName, the mouse/touch position in position, and the series value in value.

Note: This signal is only emitted when hoverable is set to true.

[signal] void QAbstractSeries::hoverEnter(const QString &seriesName, QPointF position, QPointF value)

This signal is emitted when the series hovering starts. The name of the series is in seriesName, the mouse/touch position in position, and the series value in value.

Note: This signal is only emitted when hoverable is set to true.

[signal] void QAbstractSeries::hoverExit(const QString &seriesName, QPointF position)

This signal is emitted when the series hovering ends. The name of the series is in seriesName, and the mouse/touch position in position.

Note: This signal is only emitted when hoverable is set to true.

void QAbstractSeries::show()

Sets the visibility of the series to true.

See also setVisible() and isVisible().
