Qml F1 Legends
This application demonstrates how to use XmlListModel as a datasource for a Chart.
Running the Example

Using List Models as Data Sources
Let's define an empty ChartView first:
ChartView { id: chartView title: "Driver Speeds, lap 1" anchors.fill: parent legend.alignment: Qt.AlignTop animationOptions: ChartView.SeriesAnimations antialiasing: true }
Our XmlListModel uses hard-coded test data. In a real application the data source would be a timing system.
XmlListModel { // Hard-coded test data xml: "<results><row><speedTrap>0</speedTrap><driver>Fittipaldi</driver><speed>104.12</speed></row>" +"<row><speedTrap>0</speedTrap><driver>Stewart</driver><speed>106.12</speed></row>" +"<row><speedTrap>0</speedTrap><driver>Hunt</driver><speed>106.12</speed></row>" ... query: "/results/row" XmlRole { name: "speedTrap"; query: "speedTrap/string()" } XmlRole { name: "driver"; query: "driver/string()" } XmlRole { name: "speed"; query: "speed/string()" } } // An example XmlListModel containing F1 legend drivers' speeds at speed traps SpeedsXml { id: speedsXml onStatusChanged: { if (status == XmlListModel.Ready) { timer.start(); } } }
The data is parsed with a timer. The line series representing each driver are created on the fly.
// A timer to mimic refreshing the data dynamically Timer { id: timer interval: 700 repeat: true triggeredOnStart: true running: false onTriggered: { currentIndex++; if (currentIndex < speedsXml.count) { // Check if there is a series for the data already // (we are using driver name to identify series) var lineSeries = chartView.series(speedsXml.get(currentIndex).driver); if (!lineSeries) { lineSeries = chartView.createSeries(ChartView.SeriesTypeLine, speedsXml.get(currentIndex).driver); chartView.axisY().min = 0; chartView.axisY().max = 250; chartView.axisY().tickCount = 6; chartView.axisY().titleText = "speed (kph)"; chartView.axisX().titleText = "speed trap"; chartView.axisX().labelFormat = "%.0f"; } lineSeries.append(speedsXml.get(currentIndex).speedTrap, speedsXml.get(currentIndex).speed); if (speedsXml.get(currentIndex).speedTrap > 3) { chartView.axisX().max = Number(speedsXml.get(currentIndex).speedTrap) + 1; chartView.axisX().min = chartView.axisX().max - 5; } else { chartView.axisX().max = 5; chartView.axisX().min = 0; } chartView.axisX().tickCount = chartView.axisX().max - chartView.axisX().min + 1; } else { // No more data, change x-axis range to show all the data timer.stop(); chartView.animationOptions = ChartView.AllAnimations; chartView.axisX().min = 0; chartView.axisX().max = speedsXml.get(currentIndex - 1).speedTrap; } } }
