HorizontalPercentBarChart Example

The horizontal percent bar chart shows the data in a set as a percentage of all sets per category.

Creating a horizontal percent bar chart is just like creating a regular bar chart, except that for a horizontal percent bar chart, we use the QHorizontalPercentBarSeries api instead of QBarSeries. Also, in the bar chart, we used a nice numbers algorithm to make the y-axis numbering look better. With the percent bar chart there is no need for that, because the maximum y-axis value is always 100.

Creating Horizontal Percent Bar Charts

The barsets are used in same way in all barcharts. To illustrate the difference between various barcharts, we use same data in examples. The data which the bar chart visualizes is defined by QBarSet instances. Here we create the sets and append data to them. The data is appended here with << operator. Alternatively the append method could be used.

 
Sélectionnez
    QBarSet *set0 = new QBarSet("Jane");
    QBarSet *set1 = new QBarSet("John");
    QBarSet *set2 = new QBarSet("Axel");
    QBarSet *set3 = new QBarSet("Mary");
    QBarSet *set4 = new QBarSet("Samantha");

    *set0 &lt;&lt; 1 &lt;&lt; 2 &lt;&lt; 3 &lt;&lt; 4 &lt;&lt; 5 &lt;&lt; 6;
    *set1 &lt;&lt; 5 &lt;&lt; 0 &lt;&lt; 0 &lt;&lt; 4 &lt;&lt; 0 &lt;&lt; 7;
    *set2 &lt;&lt; 3 &lt;&lt; 5 &lt;&lt; 8 &lt;&lt; 13 &lt;&lt; 8 &lt;&lt; 5;
    *set3 &lt;&lt; 5 &lt;&lt; 6 &lt;&lt; 7 &lt;&lt; 3 &lt;&lt; 4 &lt;&lt; 5;
    *set4 &lt;&lt; 9 &lt;&lt; 7 &lt;&lt; 5 &lt;&lt; 3 &lt;&lt; 1 &lt;&lt; 2;

We create the series and append the bar sets to it. The series takes ownership of the barsets. The series groups the data from sets to categories. The first values of each set are grouped together in the first category, the second value in the second category etc.

 
Sélectionnez
    QHorizontalPercentBarSeries *series = new QHorizontalPercentBarSeries();
    series-&gt;append(set0);
