## Detailed Description

The QXYSeries class is a base class for line, spline and scatter series.

## Property Documentation

### color : QColor

The color of the series. This is line (pen) color in case of QLineSeries or QSplineSeries and fill (brush) color in case of QScatterSeries or QAreaSeries.

Access functions:

virtual QColor | color() const
virtual void | setColor(const QColor &color)

Notifier signal:

void | colorChanged(QColor color)

See also pen() and brush().

### pointLabelsClipping : bool

Defines the clipping for data point labels. True by default. The labels on the edge of the plot area are cut when clipping is enabled.

Access functions:

bool | pointLabelsClipping() const
void | setPointLabelsClipping(bool enabled = true)

Notifier signal:

void | pointLabelsClippingChanged(bool clipping)

See also pointLabelsVisible.

### pointLabelsColor : QColor

Defines the color used for data point labels. By default, the color is the color of the brush defined in theme for labels.

Access functions:

QColor | pointLabelsColor() const
void | setPointLabelsColor(const QColor &color)

Notifier signal:

void | pointLabelsColorChanged(const QColor &color)

See also pointLabelsFormat.

### pointLabelsFont : QFont

Defines the font used for data point labels.

Access functions:

QFont | pointLabelsFont() const
void | setPointLabelsFont(const QFont &font)

Notifier signal:

void | pointLabelsFontChanged(const QFont &font)

See also pointLabelsFormat.

### pointLabelsFormat : QString

The format used for showing labels with series points.

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

Access functions:

QString | pointLabelsFormat() const
void | setPointLabelsFormat(const QString &format)

Notifier signal:

void | pointLabelsFormatChanged(const QString &format)

See also pointLabelsVisible, pointLabelsFont, and pointLabelsColor.

### pointLabelsVisible : bool

Defines the visibility for data point labels. False by default.

Access functions:

bool | pointLabelsVisible() const
void | setPointLabelsVisible(bool visible = true)

Notifier signal:

void | pointLabelsVisibilityChanged(bool visible)

See also pointLabelsFormat and pointLabelsClipping.

### pointsVisible : bool

Controls if the data points are visible and should be drawn.

Access functions:

bool | pointsVisible() const
void | setPointsVisible(bool visible = true)

## Member Function Documentation

See also pressed, released, and clicked.

### `[signal]` void QXYSeries::hovered(const QPointF &point, bool state)

This signal is emitted when user has hovered over or away from the series. point shows the origin (coordinate) of the hover event. state is true when user has hovered over the series and false when hover has moved away from the series.

### void QXYSeries::insert(int index, const QPointF &point)

Inserts a point in the series at index position.

See also pointAdded().

### QPen QXYSeries::pen() const

Returns pen used to draw points for series.

See also setPen().

### `[signal]` void QXYSeries::penChanged(const QPen &pen)

Signal is emitted when the line pen has changed to pen.

### `[signal]` void QXYSeries::pointAdded(int index)

Signal is emitted when a point has been added at index.

See also append() and insert().

### `[signal]` void QXYSeries::pointLabelsClippingChanged(bool clipping)

The clipping of the data point labels is changed to clipping.

Note: Notifier signal for property pointLabelsClipping.

### `[signal]` void QXYSeries::pointLabelsColorChanged(const QColor &color)

The color used for data point labels is changed to color.

Note: Notifier signal for property pointLabelsColor.

### `[signal]` void QXYSeries::pointLabelsFontChanged(const QFont &font)

The font used for data point labels is changed to font.

Note: Notifier signal for property pointLabelsFont.

### `[signal]` void QXYSeries::pointLabelsFormatChanged(const QString &format)

Signal is emitted when a point has been removed from index.

See also remove().

### `[signal]` void QXYSeries::pointReplaced(int index)

Signal is emitted when a point has been replaced at index.

See also replace().

### QList<QPointF> QXYSeries::points() const

Returns the points in the series as a list. Use QXYSeries::pointsVector() for better performance.

### `[signal]` void QXYSeries::pointsRemoved(int index, int count)

Note: This is much faster than replacing data points one by one, or first clearing all data, and then appending the new data. Emits QXYSeries::pointsReplaced() when the points have been replaced. However, note that using the overload that takes `QVector<QPointF>` as parameter is faster than using this overload.

See also pointsReplaced().

### void QXYSeries::replace(QVector<QPointF> points)

Replaces the current points with points.

Note: This is much faster than replacing data points one by one, or first clearing all data, and then appending the new data. Emits QXYSeries::pointsReplaced() when the points have been replaced.

See also pointsReplaced().
