Synopsis#

Properties#

borderColor - Line (pen) color of the series. This is a convenience property for modifying the color of the pen
color - Fill (brush) color of the series. This is a convenience property for modifying the color of the brush
lowerSeries - Lower one of the two line series used to define area series boundaries
pointLabelsClipping - Clipping for data point labels. True by default. The labels on the edge of the plot area are cut when clipping is enabled
pointLabelsColor - Color used for data point labels. By default, the color is the color of the brush defined for labels in the theme
pointLabelsFont - Font used for data point labels
pointLabelsFormat - Format used for showing labels with series points

Detailed Description#

An area series is used to show quantitative data. It is based on a line series, in the way that the area between the boundary lines is emphasized with color. Since the area series is based on the line series, the QAreaSeries constructor needs a QLineSeries instance, which defines the upper boundary of the area. The area chart is drawn using the bottom of the plot area as the lower boundary by default. Instead of the bottom of the plot area, the lower boundary can be specified by another line. In that case, QAreaSeries should be initialized with two QLineSeries instances.

Note

The terms upper and lower boundary can be misleading in cases where the value of the lower boundary is greater than that of the upper boundary. The main point is that the area between these two boundary lines will be filled.

See the area chart example to learn how to create a simple area chart.

class PySide6.QtCharts.QAreaSeries(upperSeries[, lowerSeries=None])#

PySide6.QtCharts.QAreaSeries([parent=None])

Parameters:

upperSeries – PySide6.QtCharts.QLineSeries
lowerSeries – PySide6.QtCharts.QLineSeries
parent – PySide6.QtCore.QObject

Constructs an area series object that will be spanned between an upperSeries line and a lowerSeries line. If no lowerSeries is passed to the constructor, the x-axis is used as the lower bound instead.

The QAreaSeries does not own the upper or lower series, but the ownership stays with the caller. When the series object is added to QChartView or QChart , the instance ownership is transferred.

Constructs an area series object without an upper or a lower series with the parent object.

Note

Properties can be used directly when from __feature__ import true_property is used or via accessor functions otherwise.

property PᅟySide6.QtCharts.QAreaSeries.pointLabelsFormat: str#

This property holds The format used for showing labels with series points..

QAreaSeries supports the following format tags:

@xPoint

The x value of the data point

@yPoint

The y value of the data point

For example, the following usage of the format tags would produce labels that have the data point (x, y) shown inside brackets separated by a comma:

series->setPointLabelsFormat("(@xPoint, @yPoint)");

By default, the label format is set to @xPoint, @yPoint. The labels are shown on the plot area, whereas labels on the edge of the plot area are cut. If the points are close to each other, the labels may overlap.
