Creating Line Charts▲
To create a line chart, a QLineSeries instance is needed. Let's create one.
QLineSeries *
series =
new
QLineSeries();
Then we add data to the series. We can use the append() member function or use the stream operator.
series-&
gt;append(0
, 6
);
series-&
gt;append(2
, 4
);
series-&
gt;append(3
, 8
);
series-&
gt;append(7
, 4
);
series-&
gt;append(10
, 5
);
*
series &
lt;&
lt; QPointF(11
, 1
) &
lt;&
lt; QPointF(13
, 3
) &
lt;&
lt; QPointF(17
, 6
) &
lt;&
lt; QPointF(18
, 3
) &
lt;&
lt; QPointF(20
, 2
);
To present the data on the chart we need a QChart instance. We add the series to it, create the default axes, and set the title of the chart.
QChart *
chart =
new
QChart();
chart-&
gt;legend()-&
gt;hide();
chart-&
gt;addSeries(series);
chart-&
gt;createDefaultAxes();
chart-&
gt;setTitle("Simple line chart example"
);
Then we create a QChartView object with QChart as a parameter. This way we don't need to create a QGraphicsView scene ourselves. We also set the Antialiasing on to have the rendered lines look nicer.
QChartView *
chartView =
new
QChartView(chart);
chartView-&
gt;setRenderHint(QPainter::
Antialiasing);
The chart is ready to be shown.
QMainWindow window;
window.setCentralWidget(chartView);
window.resize(400
, 300
);
window.show();
