Detailed Description

The QCategoryAxis class allows putting a named ranges on the axis.

This class can be used when the underlying data needs to be given extra meaning. Unlike with the QBarCategoryAxis the QCategoryAxis allows the categories ranges widths to be specified freely.

Example code on how to use QCategoryAxis:

QChartView *chartView = new QChartView;
QLineSeries *series = new QLineSeries;
// ...
chartView->chart()->addSeries(series);

QCategoryAxis *axisY = new QCategoryAxis;
axisY->setMin(0);
axisY->setMax(52);
axisY->setStartValue(15);
axisY->append("First", 20);
axisY->append("Second", 37);
axisY->append("Third", 52);
chartView->chart()->setAxisY(axisY, series);

Member Type Documentation

enum QCategoryAxis::AxisLabelsPosition

This enum describes the position of the category labels.

ConstantValueDescription
QCategoryAxis::AxisLabelsPositionCenter0x0Labels are centered to category.
QCategoryAxis::AxisLabelsPositionOnValue0x1Labels are positioned to the high end limit of the category.

Property Documentation

categoriesLabels : const QStringList

The category labels as a string list.

Access functions:

QStringList categoriesLabels()

count : const int

The count of categories.

Access functions:

int count() const

labelsPosition : AxisLabelsPosition

Defines the position of the category labels. The labels in the beginning and in the end of the axes may overlap other axes labels when positioned on value.

Access functions:

QCategoryAxis::AxisLabelsPosition labelsPosition() const
void setLabelsPosition(QCategoryAxis::AxisLabelsPosition position)

Notifier signal:

void labelsPositionChanged(QCategoryAxis::AxisLabelsPosition position)

startValue : qreal

Defines the low end of the first category on the axis.

Access functions:

qreal startValue(const QString &categoryLabel = QString()) const
void setStartValue(qreal min)

Member Function Documentation

QCategoryAxis::QCategoryAxis(QObject *parent = Q_NULLPTR)

Constructs an axis object which is a child of parent.

QCategoryAxis::~QCategoryAxis()

Destroys the object

void QCategoryAxis::append(const QString &categoryLabel, qreal categoryEndValue)

Appends new category to the axis with an categoryLabel. Category label has to be unique. Parameter categoryEndValue specifies the high end limit of the category. It has to be greater than the high end limit of the previous category. Otherwise the method returns without adding a new category.

[signal] void QCategoryAxis::categoriesChanged()

Axis emits signal when the categories of the axis have changed.

QStringList QCategoryAxis::categoriesLabels()

Returns the list of the intervals labels

Note: Getter function for property categoriesLabels.

int QCategoryAxis::count() const

Returns number of intervals.

Note: Getter function for property count.

qreal QCategoryAxis::endValue(const QString &categoryLabel) const

Returns the high end limit of the interval specified by an categoryLabel

void QCategoryAxis::remove(const QString &categoryLabel)

Removes an interval specified by the categoryLabel from the axis

void QCategoryAxis::replaceLabel(const QString &oldLabel, const QString &newLabel)

Replaces oldLabel of an existing category with a newLabel If the old label does not exist the method returns without making any changes.

void QCategoryAxis::setStartValue(qreal min)

Sets min to be the low end limit of the first category on the axis. If there is already some categories added to the axis then passed value must be lower than the high end value of the already defined first category range. Otherwise nothing is done.

Note: Setter function for property startValue.

See also startValue().

qreal QCategoryAxis::startValue(const QString &categoryLabel = QString()) const

Returns the low end limit of the category specified by an categoryLabel

Note: Getter function for property startValue.

See also setStartValue().

[virtual] AxisType QCategoryAxis::type() const

Reimplemented from QAbstractAxis::type().

Returns the type of the axis
