Qt Quick 2 Legend Example▲
The Qt Quick 2 legend example shows how to make an interactive legend for a graph.
The interesting thing about this example is displaying the legend. We'll concentrate on that and skip explaining the basic functionality - for more detailed QML example documentation, see Qt Quick 2 Scatter Example.
Running the Example▲

Legend▲
The legend is simply a column of custom LegendItem items inside a transparent rectangle. Each item is supplied with a series and the graph theme:
ColumnLayout {
anchors.fill: parent
anchors.margins: parent.border.width
spacing: 0
clip: true
LegendItem {
Layout.fillWidth: true
Layout.fillHeight: true
series: station1
theme: barGraph.theme
}
LegendItem {
Layout.fillWidth: true
Layout.fillHeight: true
series: station2
theme: barGraph.theme
}
LegendItem {
Layout.fillWidth: true
Layout.fillHeight: true
series: station3
theme: barGraph.theme
}
}The legend items consist of a marker rectangle, which indicates the color of the series, and a text field, which shows the name of the series. The colors we get from the series and the theme supplied at legend item initialization:
property Theme3D theme
property Bar3DSeries series
...
RowLayout {
anchors.fill: parent
spacing: 0
clip: true
Item {
id: markerSpace
Layout.minimumWidth: 20
Layout.minimumHeight: 20
Layout.fillWidth: true
Layout.fillHeight: true
Layout.alignment: Qt.AlignVCenter
Rectangle {
x: parent.x + parent.width / 4
y: parent.y + parent.height / 4
width: parent.width / 2
height: width
border.color: "black"
color: series.baseColor
}
}
Item {
height: markerSpace.height
Layout.fillWidth: true
Layout.fillHeight: true
Layout.alignment: Qt.AlignVCenter
Layout.minimumWidth: 100
Text {
anchors.fill: parent
text: series.name
verticalAlignment: Text.AlignVCenter
clip:
