Detailed Description

A value axis can be set up to show an axis line with tick marks, grid lines, and shades. The values on the axis are drawn at the positions of tick marks.

Property Documentation

labelDecimals : int

This property holds the number of decimals used for showing the labels. When set to -1, decimal amount is adjusted automatically based on the values range. The default value is -1.

Access functions:

int labelDecimals() const
void setLabelDecimals(int decimals)

Notifier signal:

void labelDecimalsChanged(int decimals)

labelFormat : QString

This property holds the label format of the axis.

The format string supports the following conversion specifiers, length modifiers, and flags provided by printf() in the standard C++ library: d, i, o, x, X, f, F, e, E, g, G, c.

The default value is empty, in which case 'f' format is used.

Access functions:

QString labelFormat() const
void setLabelFormat(const QString &format)

Notifier signal:

void labelFormatChanged(const QString &format)

See also QString::asprintf().

max : qreal

This property holds the maximum value on the axis.

When setting this property, the minimum value is adjusted if necessary, to ensure that the range remains valid. The default value is 10.0

Access functions:

qreal max() const
void setMax(qreal max)

Notifier signal:

void maxChanged(qreal max)

min : qreal

This property holds the minimum value on the axis.

When setting this property, the maximum value is adjusted if necessary, to ensure that the range remains valid. The default value is 0.0

Access functions:

qreal min() const
void setMin(qreal min)

Notifier signal:

void minChanged(qreal min)

minorTickCount : int

This property holds the number of minor tick marks on the axis. This indicates how many grid lines are drawn between major ticks on the graph. Labels are not drawn for minor ticks. The default value is 0.

Access functions:

int minorTickCount() const
void setMinorTickCount(int count)

Notifier signal:

void minorTickCountChanged(int minorTickCount)

tickAnchor : qreal

This property holds the base value where the dynamically placed tick marks and labels are started from. The default value is 0.

Access functions:

qreal tickAnchor() const
void setTickAnchor(qreal anchor)

Notifier signal:

void tickAnchorChanged(qreal tickAnchor)

tickInterval : qreal

This property holds the interval between dynamically placed tick marks and labels. The default value is 0, which means that intervals are automatically calculated based on the min and max range.

Access functions:

qreal tickInterval() const
void setTickInterval(qreal insterval)

Notifier signal:

void tickIntervalChanged(qreal tickInterval)

Member Function Documentation

[explicit] QValueAxis::QValueAxis(QObject *parent = nullptr)

Constructs an axis object that is a child of parent.

[virtual noexcept] QValueAxis::~QValueAxis()

Destroys the object.

[signal] void QValueAxis::labelDecimalsChanged(int decimals)

This signal is emitted when the decimals amount of axis labels changes.

Note: Notifier signal for property labelDecimals.

[signal] void QValueAxis::labelFormatChanged(const QString &format)

This signal is emitted when the format of axis labels changes.

Note: Notifier signal for property labelFormat.

[signal] void QValueAxis::maxChanged(qreal max)

This signal is emitted when the maximum value of the axis, specified by max, changes.

Note: Notifier signal for property max.

[signal] void QValueAxis::minChanged(qreal min)

This signal is emitted when the minimum value of the axis, specified by min, changes.

Note: Notifier signal for property min.

[signal] void QValueAxis::minorTickCountChanged(int minorTickCount)

This signal is emitted when the number of minor tick marks on the axis, specified by minorTickCount, changes.

Note: Notifier signal for property minorTickCount.

[signal] void QValueAxis::rangeChanged(qreal min, qreal max)

This signal is emitted when the minimum or maximum value of the axis, specified by min and max, changes.

void QValueAxis::setRange(qreal min, qreal max)

Sets the range from min to max on the axis. If min is greater than max, this function returns without making any changes.

[signal] void QValueAxis::tickAnchorChanged(qreal tickAnchor)

This signal is emitted when the tick anchoring value, specified by tickAnchor, changes.

Note: Notifier signal for property tickAnchor.

[signal] void QValueAxis::tickIntervalChanged(qreal tickInterval)

This signal is emitted when the tick interval value, specified by tickInterval, changes.

Note: Notifier signal for property tickInterval.

[override virtual] QAbstractAxis::AxisType QValueAxis::type() const

Reimplements: QAbstractAxis::type() const.

Returns the type of the axis.
