The QDateTimeAxis class adds dates and times to a chart’s axis. More…

Synopsis#

Properties#

format - String that is used when creating the label for the axis out of a QDateTime object
max - Maximum value on the axis

Detailed Description#

QDateTimeAxis can be set up to show an axis line with tick marks, grid lines, and shades. The labels can be configured by setting an appropriate DateTime format. QDateTimeAxis works correctly with dates from 4714 BCE to 287396 CE. For other limitiations related to QDateTime, see QDateTime documentation.

Note

QDateTimeAxis is disabled on platforms that define qreal as float.

QDateTimeAxis can be used with any QXYSeries . To add a data point to the series, QDateTime::toMSecsSinceEpoch() is used:

QLineSeries *series = new QLineSeries;

QDateTime xValue;
xValue.setDate(QDate(2012, 1 , 18));
xValue.setTime(QTime(9, 34));
qreal yValue = 12;
series->append(xValue.toMSecsSinceEpoch(), yValue);

xValue.setDate(QDate(2013, 5 , 11));
xValue.setTime(QTime(11, 14));
qreal yValue = 22;
series->append(xValue.toMSecsSinceEpoch(), yValue);

The following code snippet illustrates adding the series to the chart and setting up QDateTimeAxis :

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

// ...
QDateTimeAxis *axisX = new QDateTimeAxis;
axisX->setFormat("dd-MM-yyyy h:mm");
chartView->chart()->setAxisX(axisX, series);

class PySide6.QtCharts.QDateTimeAxis([parent=None])#
