Detailed Description

Specifies visual properties that affect the whole graph. There are several built-in themes that can be used as is or modified freely.

The following properties can be overridden by using QAbstract3DSeries properties to set them explicitly in the series: baseColors, baseGradients, and colorStyle.

Themes can be created from scratch using the ThemeUserDefined enum value. Creating a theme using the default constructor produces a new user-defined theme.

Default Theme

The following table lists the properties controlled by themes and the default values for ThemeUserDefined.

Usage Examples

Creating a built-in theme without any modifications:

Q3DTheme *theme = new Q3DTheme(Q3DTheme::ThemeQt);

Creating a built-in theme and modifying some properties:

Q3DTheme *theme = new Q3DTheme(Q3DTheme::ThemeQt);
theme->setBackgroundEnabled(false);
theme->setLabelBackgroundEnabled(false);

Creating a user-defined theme:

Q3DTheme *theme = new Q3DTheme();
theme->setAmbientLightStrength(0.3f);
theme->setBackgroundColor(QColor(QRgb(0x99ca53)));
theme->setBackgroundEnabled(true);
theme->setBaseColor(QColor(QRgb(0x209fdf)));
theme->setColorStyle(Q3DTheme::ColorStyleUniform);
theme->setFont(QFont(QStringLiteral("Impact"), 35));
theme->setGridEnabled(true);
theme->setGridLineColor(QColor(QRgb(0x99ca53)));
theme->setHighlightLightStrength(7.0f);
theme->setLabelBackgroundColor(QColor(0xf6, 0xa6, 0x25, 0xa0));
theme->setLabelBackgroundEnabled(true);
theme->setLabelBorderEnabled(true);
theme->setLabelTextColor(QColor(QRgb(0x404044)));
theme->setLightColor(Qt::white);
theme->setLightStrength(6.0f);
theme->setMultiHighlightColor(QColor(QRgb(0x6d5fd5)));
theme->setSingleHighlightColor(QColor(QRgb(0xf6a625)));
theme->setWindowColor(QColor(QRgb(0xffffff)));

Creating a built-in theme and modifying some properties after it has been set:

Q3DBars *graph = new Q3DBars();
graph->activeTheme()->setType(Q3DTheme::ThemePrimaryColors);
graph->activeTheme()->setBaseColor(Qt::red);
graph->activeTheme()->setSingleHighlightColor(Qt::yellow);

Member Type Documentation

enum Q3DTheme::ColorStyle

ConstantValueDescription
Q3DTheme::ColorStyleUniform0Objects are rendered in a single color. The color used is specified in baseColors, singleHighlightColor and multiHighlightColor properties.

This property holds the ambient light strength for the whole graph.

This value determines how evenly and brightly the colors are shown throughout the graph regardless of the light position.

The value must be between 0.0f and 1.0f.

Access functions:
