Detailed Description

A pie slice has a value and a label. When the slice is added to a pie series, the QPieSeries object calculates the percentage of the slice compared with the sum of all slices in the series to determine the actual size of the slice in the chart.

By default, the label is hidden. If it is visible, it can be either located outside the slice and connected to it with an arm or centered inside the slice either horizontally or in parallel with the tangential or normal of the slice's arc.

By default, the visual appearance of the slice is set by a theme, but the theme can be overridden by specifying slice properties. However, if the theme is changed after the slices are customized, all customization will be lost.

To enable user interaction with the pie chart, some basic signals are emitted when users click pie slices or hover the mouse over them.

See also QPieSeries.

Member Type Documentation

enum QPieSlice::LabelPosition

This enum describes the position of the slice label.

ConstantValueDescription
QPieSlice::LabelOutside0The label is located outside the slice connected to it with an arm. This is the default value.
QPieSlice::LabelInsideHorizontal1The label is centered within the slice and laid out horizontally.
QPieSlice::LabelInsideTangential2The label is centered within the slice and rotated to be parallel with the tangential of the slice's arc.
QPieSlice::LabelInsideNormal3The label is centered within the slice and rotated to be parallel with the normal of the slice's arc.

Property Documentation

[read-only] angleSpan : const qreal

explodeDistanceFactor : qreal

Determines how far away from the pie the slice is exploded.

  • 1.0 means that the distance is the same as the radius.
  • 0.5 means that the distance is half of the radius.

By default, the distance is 0.15

Access functions:

labelArmLengthFactor : qreal

This property holds the length of the label arm. The factor is relative to the pie radius. For example:

  • 1.0 means that the length is the same as the radius.
  • 0.5 means that the length is half of the radius.

By default, the arm length is 0.15

Access functions:

qreal labelArmLengthFactor() const

Notifier signal:

void labelColorChanged()

See also labelBrush.

labelFont : QFont

This property holds the font used for drawing the label text.

Access functions:

QFont labelFont() const
void setLabelFont(const QFont &font)

Notifier signal:

void labelFontChanged()

labelVisible : bool

This property holds the visibility of the slice label. By default, the label is not visible.

void setPen(const QPen &pen)

Notifier signal:

void penChanged()

[read-only] percentage : const qreal
