Detailed Description

This class draws data by default as a series of bars grouped by category, with one bar per category from each bar set added to the series. It also supports horizontal bars and grouping bars as stacked.

A bar series needs the GraphsView x-axis to be set to a BarCategoryAxis and the y-axis set to ValueAxis.

See also QBarSet and QAbstractSeries.

Member Type Documentation

enum class QBarSeries::BarsType

This enum value describes the type of the bar series:

ConstantValueDescription
QBarSeries::BarsType::Groups0Bar sets are grouped by category.
QBarSeries::BarsType::Stacked1Bar sets are stacked after each other by category.
QBarSeries::BarsType::StackedPercent2Bar sets are stacked after each other by category. The segment size corresponds to the percentage of the segment value compared with the total value of all segments in the stack.

enum class QBarSeries::LabelsPosition

This enum value describes the position of the data value labels:

ConstantValueDescription
QBarSeries::LabelsPosition::Center0Label is located in the center of the bar.
QBarSeries::LabelsPosition::InsideEnd1Label is located inside the bar at the top.
QBarSeries::LabelsPosition::InsideBase2Label is located inside the bar at the bottom.
QBarSeries::LabelsPosition::OutsideEnd3Label is located outside the bar at the top.

Property Documentation

barDelegate : QQmlComponent*

This property holds a custom QML component used for visualizing each of the bars. Instance of this component is created for each of the bar. When this is not defined, a default rectangle visualization for bars is used.

The dynamic properties available for this component are:

TypeNameDescription
QColorbarColorThe fill color of the bar. This value comes either from the QGraphsTheme or from QBarSet::color if the QBarSet overrides the color.
QColorbarBorderColorThe border color of the bar. This value comes either from the QGraphsTheme or from QBarSet::borderColor if the QBarSet overrides the color.
qrealbarBorderWidthThe width of the bar border. This value comes either from the QGraphsTheme or from QBarSet::borderWidth if the QBarSet overrides the width.
qrealbarValueThe value of the bar. This value comes from the QBarSet::values.
QStringbarLabelThe label of the bar. This value comes from the QBarSet::label.
boolbarSelectedThis value is true when the bar is selected, meaning that the bar index is in QBarSet::selectedBars.

To use any of these, add property with the defined name into your custom component. For example "property color barColor" and "property real barValue".

Access functions:

QQmlComponent *barDelegate() const
void setBarDelegate(QQmlComponent *newBarDelegate)

Notifier signal:

void barDelegateChanged()

[read-only] barSets : QList<QBarSet *> const

This property holds a list of sets added to the series.

Access functions:

QList<QBarSet *> barSets() const

Notifier signal:

void barSetsChanged()

barWidth : qreal

This property holds the width of the bars of the series.

The unit of width is the unit of the x-axis. The minimum width for bars is zero, and negative values are treated as zero. Setting the width to zero means that the width of the bar on the screen is one pixel regardless of the scale of the x-axis. Bars wider than zero are scaled using the x-axis scale.

By default, the barWidth is 0.5 (bars will take 50% of the available width). The valid values range from 0.0 (0%) to 1.0 (100%).

Note: When used with QBarSeries, this value specifies the width of a group of bars instead of that of a single bar.

Access functions:

qreal barWidth() const
void setBarWidth(qreal width)

Notifier signal:

void barWidthChanged()

See also QBarSeries.

barsType : BarsType

This property holds the type of the bar series.

Access functions:

QBarSeries::BarsType barsType() const
void setBarsType(QBarSeries::BarsType type)

Notifier signal:

void barsTypeChanged(QBarSeries::BarsType type)

borderColors : QList<QColor>

This property holds the list of border colors to be used for all the objects in the series.

If there are more series than colors, the color list wraps and starts again with the first color in the list. If this is not set (default), colors from the QGraphsTheme::borderColors will be used.

Access functions:

QList<QColor> borderColors() const
void setBorderColors(const QList<QColor> &newBorderColors)

Notifier signal:

void borderColorsChanged()

[read-only] count : const qsizetype

This property holds the number of bar sets in a bar series.

Access functions:

qsizetype count() const[see note below]

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

Notifier signal:

void countChanged()

labelsAngle : qreal

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

Access functions:

qreal labelsAngle() const
void setLabelsAngle(qreal angle)

Notifier signal:

void labelsAngleChanged(qreal angle)

labelsFormat : QString

This property holds the format used for showing labels in a bar series.

QBarSeries supports the following format tag:

@valueThe value of the bar

For example, the following usage of the format tags would produce labels that show the value followed by the unit (u):

series->setLabelsFormat("@value u");

By default, the labels show the value of the bar. For the percent bar series, % is added after the value. The labels are shown on the plot area, if the bars are close to each other, the labels may overlap.

Access functions:

QString labelsFormat() const
void setLabelsFormat(const QString &format)

Notifier signal:

void labelsFormatChanged(const QString &format)

See also labelsVisible, labelsPosition, and labelsPrecision.

labelsMargin : qreal

This property holds the margin of the value labels in pixels.

This margin from side is used when labelsPosition is set to something else than LabelsPosition.Center. The default value is 0.

Access functions:

qreal labelsMargin() const
void setLabelsMargin(qreal margin)

Notifier signal:

void labelsMarginChanged(qreal margin)

labelsPosition : LabelsPosition

This property holds the position of value labels.

Access functions:

QBarSeries::LabelsPosition labelsPosition() const
void setLabelsPosition(QBarSeries::LabelsPosition position)

Notifier signal:

void labelsPositionChanged(QBarSeries::LabelsPosition position)

See also labelsVisible and labelsFormat.

labelsPrecision : int

This property holds the maximum amount of significant digits shown in value labels.

Default value is 6.

Access functions:

int labelsPrecision() const
void setLabelsPrecision(int precision)

Notifier signal:

void labelsPrecisionChanged(int precision)

labelsVisible : bool

This property holds the visibility of the labels in a bar series. The default label visibility is false.

Access functions:

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

Notifier signal:

void labelsVisibleChanged(bool visible)

seriesColors : QList<QColor>

This property holds the list of base colors to be used for all the objects in the series.

If there are more series than colors, the color list wraps and starts again with the first color in the list. If this is not set (default), colors from the QGraphsTheme::seriesColors will be used.

Access functions:

QList<QColor> seriesColors() const
void setSeriesColors(const QList<QColor> &newSeriesColors)

Notifier signal:

void seriesColorsChanged()
