Detailed Description

A color axis can be set up to show a color scale based on the passed gradient. The scale has tick marks with labels based on data passed in QXYSeries::colorby method.

Property Documentation

autoRange : bool

This property holds the property indicating if the range should be set from the list of values passed in QXYSeries::colorBy method or rather taken from the axis itself.

The default value is true.

Access functions:

bool autoRange() const
void setAutoRange(bool autoRange)

Notifier signal:

void autoRangeChanged(bool autoRange)

max : qreal

This property holds the maximum value on the axis.

When setting this property, the minimum value is adjusted if necessary, to ensure that the range remains valid.

Access functions:

qreal max() const
void setMax(qreal max)

Notifier signal:

void maxChanged(qreal max)

min : qreal

This property holds the minimum value on the axis.

When setting this property, the maximum value is adjusted if necessary, to ensure that the range remains valid.

Access functions:

qreal min() const
void setMin(qreal min)

Notifier signal:

void minChanged(qreal min)

size : qreal

This property holds the size of the color scale.

Depending on the alignment the value indicates either width or height.

Access functions:

qreal size() const
void setSize(const qreal size)

Notifier signal:

void sizeChanged(const qreal size)

tickCount : int

This property holds the number of tick marks on the axis. This indicates how many grid lines are drawn on the chart if QColorAxis::gridVisible is equal to true. The default value is 5, and the number cannot be less than 2.

Note: Grid lines are intentionally invisible by default in QColorAxis as this type of axis does not represent geometric values.

Access functions:

int tickCount() const
void setTickCount(int count)

Notifier signal:

void tickCountChanged(int tickCount)

Member Function Documentation

[virtual noexcept] QColorAxis::~QColorAxis()

Destroys the object.

[signal] void QColorAxis::autoRangeChanged(bool autoRange)

This signal is emitted when the auto range mode, specified by autoRange, changes.

Note: Notifier signal for property autoRange.

QLinearGradient QColorAxis::gradient() const

Returns the gradient currently used on the color scale.

Note: If the axis is attached to a series, the gradient is also used by the QXYSeries::colorBy method.

See also setGradient.

[signal] void QColorAxis::maxChanged(qreal max)

This signal is emitted when the maximum value of the axis, specified by max, changes.

Note: Notifier signal for property max.

[signal] void QColorAxis::minChanged(qreal min)

This signal is emitted when the minimum value of the axis, specified by min, changes.

Note: Notifier signal for property min.

[signal] void QColorAxis::rangeChanged(qreal min, qreal max)

This signal is emitted when the minimum or maximum value of the axis, specified by min and max, changes.

void QColorAxis::setGradient(const QLinearGradient &gradient)

Sets the gradient on the color scale to gradient.

Note: If the axis is attached to a series, the gradient is also used by the QXYSeries::colorBy method.

See also gradient.

[signal] void QColorAxis::tickCountChanged(int tickCount)

This signal is emitted when the number of tick marks on the axis, specified by tickCount, changes.

Note: Notifier signal for property tickCount.
