Detailed Description

Each series can be bound to only one horizontal and vertical axis.

The properties and visibility of various axis elements, such as axis line, title, labels, and grid lines, can be individually controlled.

Member Type Documentation

enum class QAbstractAxis::AxisType

This enum type specifies the type of the axis object.

ConstantValue
QAbstractAxis::AxisType::Value0
QAbstractAxis::AxisType::BarCategory1
QAbstractAxis::AxisType::DateTime2

Property Documentation

[read-only] alignment : const Qt::Alignment

This property holds the alignment of the axis.

Can be Qt::AlignLeft, Qt::AlignRight, Qt::AlignBottom, or Qt::AlignTop.

Access functions:

Qt::Alignment alignment() const

gridVisible : bool

This property holds the visibility of the grid lines. By default, the value is true.

Access functions:

bool isGridVisible() const
void setGridVisible(bool visible = true)

Notifier signal:

void gridVisibleChanged(bool visible)

labelDelegate : QQmlComponent*

This property holds a custom QML Component used as a label for the axis. This component should either be a Text component or contain "property string text", so that this property will be assigned the value of the label.

Access functions:

QQmlComponent *labelDelegate() const
void setLabelDelegate(QQmlComponent *newLabelDelegate)

Notifier signal:

void labelDelegateChanged()

labelsAngle : qreal

This property holds the angle of the axis labels in degrees.

Access functions:

qreal labelsAngle() const
void setLabelsAngle(qreal angle)

Notifier signal:

void labelsAngleChanged(qreal angle)

labelsVisible : bool

This property holds whether axis labels are visible. By default, the value is true.

Access functions:

bool labelsVisible() const
void setLabelsVisible(bool visible = true)

Notifier signal:

void labelsVisibleChanged(bool visible)

lineVisible : bool

This property holds the visibility of the axis line. By default, the value is true.

Access functions:

bool isLineVisible() const
void setLineVisible(bool visible = true)

Notifier signal:

void lineVisibleChanged(bool visible)

[read-only] orientation : const Qt::Orientation

This property holds the orientation of the axis.

Fixed to either Qt::Horizontal or Qt::Vertical when the axis is added to a graph.

Access functions:

Qt::Orientation orientation() const

subGridVisible : bool

This property holds the visibility of the subgrid lines.

Applies only to axes that support subgrid lines. By default, the value is true.

Access functions:

bool isSubGridVisible() const
void setSubGridVisible(bool visible = true)

Notifier signal:

void subGridVisibleChanged(bool visible)

titleColor : QColor

This property holds the color used to draw the title text.

Access functions:

QColor titleColor() const
void setTitleColor(QColor color)

Notifier signal:

void titleColorChanged(QColor color)

titleFont : QFont

This property holds the font of the title of the axis.

Access functions:

QFont titleFont() const
void setTitleFont(const QFont &font)

Notifier signal:

void titleFontChanged(const QFont &font)

titleText : QString

This property holds the title of the axis.

Empty by default. Axis titles support HTML formatting.

Access functions:

QString titleText() const
void setTitleText(const QString &title)

Notifier signal:

void titleTextChanged(const QString &title)

titleVisible : bool

This property holds the visibility of the axis title.

By default, the value is true.

Access functions:

bool isTitleVisible() const
void setTitleVisible(bool visible = true)

Notifier signal:

void titleVisibleChanged(bool visible)

visible : bool

This property holds the visibility of the axis. By default, the value is true.

Access functions:

bool isVisible() const
void setVisible(bool visible = true)

Notifier signal:

void visibleChanged(bool visible)

Member Function Documentation

[override virtual noexcept] QAbstractAxis::~QAbstractAxis()

Destructs the axis object. When the axis is added to a graph, the graph object takes ownership.

void QAbstractAxis::hide()

Makes the axis, labels, and grid lines invisible.

Qt::Orientation QAbstractAxis::orientation() const

Returns the orientation of the axis (vertical or horizontal).

Note: Getter function for property orientation.

void QAbstractAxis::setLineVisible(bool visible = true)

Determines whether the axis line and tick marks are visible.

Note: Setter function for property lineVisible.

See also isLineVisible().

void QAbstractAxis::setMax(const QVariant &max)

Sets the maximum value shown on the axis. Depending on the actual axis type, the max parameter is converted to the appropriate type of value. If the conversion is impossible, the function call does nothing.

void QAbstractAxis::setMin(const QVariant &min)

Sets the minimum value shown on the axis. Depending on the actual axis type, the min parameter is converted to the appropriate type of value. If the conversion is impossible, the function call does nothing.

void QAbstractAxis::setRange(const QVariant &min, const QVariant &max)

Sets the range shown on the axis. Depending on the actual axis type, the min and max parameters are converted to appropriate types of values. If the conversion is impossible, the function call does nothing.

void QAbstractAxis::setTitleColor(QColor color)

Sets the color used to draw titles to color.

Note: Setter function for property titleColor.

See also titleColor().

void QAbstractAxis::setTitleFont(const QFont &font)

Sets the font used to draw titles to font.

Note: Setter function for property titleFont.

See also titleFont().

void QAbstractAxis::setVisible(bool visible = true)

Sets the visibility of the axis, labels, and grid lines to visible.

Note: Setter function for property visible.

See also isVisible().

void QAbstractAxis::show()

Makes the axis, labels, and grid lines visible.

QColor QAbstractAxis::titleColor() const

Returns the color used to draw titles.

Note: Getter function for property titleColor.

See also setTitleColor().

QFont QAbstractAxis::titleFont() const

Returns the font used to draw titles.

Note: Getter function for property titleFont.

See also setTitleFont().

[pure virtual] QAbstractAxis::AxisType QAbstractAxis::type() const

Returns the type of the axis.

[signal] void QAbstractAxis::update()

This signal is emitted when the axis needs to be updated.
