QSurfaceFormat | qDefaultSurfaceFormat(bool antialias)

## Detailed Description

This class subclasses a QWindow and provides render loop for graphs inheriting it.

You should not need to use this class directly, but one of its subclasses instead.

Anti-aliasing is turned on by default on C++, except in OpenGL ES2 environments, where anti-aliasing is not supported by Qt Data Visualization. To specify non-default anti-aliasing for a graph, give a custom surface format as a constructor parameter. You can use the convenience function `qDefaultSurfaceFormat()` to create the surface format object.

Note: QAbstract3DGraph sets window flag `Qt::FramelessWindowHint` on by default. If you want to display graph windows as standalone windows with regular window frame, clear this flag after constructing the graph. For example:

     Q3DBars *graphWindow = new Q3DBars;
     graphWindow->setFlags(graphWindow->flags() ^ Qt::FramelessWindowHint);

See also Q3DBars, Q3DScatter, Q3DSurface, and Qt Data Visualization C++ Classes.

## Member Type Documentation

### `[since QtDataVisualization 1.1]` enum QAbstract3DGraph::ElementType

Type of an element in the graph.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QAbstract3DGraph::ElementNone` | `0` | No defined element.
`QAbstract3DGraph::ElementSeries` | `1` | A series (that is, an item in a series).
`QAbstract3DGraph::ElementAxisXLabel` | `2` | The x-axis label.
`QAbstract3DGraph::ElementAxisYLabel` | `3` | The y-axis label.
`QAbstract3DGraph::ElementAxisZLabel` | `4` | The z-axis label.
`QAbstract3DGraph::ElementCustomItem` | `5` | A custom item.

This enum was introduced or modified in QtDataVisualization 1.1.

### `[since Qt Data Visualization 1.1]` enum QAbstract3DGraph::OptimizationHint
flags QAbstract3DGraph::OptimizationHints

The optimization hint for rendering.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QAbstract3DGraph::OptimizationDefault` | `0` | Provides the full feature set at a reasonable performance.
`QAbstract3DGraph::OptimizationStatic` | `1` | Optimizes the rendering of static data sets at the expense of some features.

This enum was introduced or modified in Qt Data Visualization 1.1.

The OptimizationHints type is a typedef for QFlags<OptimizationHint>. It stores an OR combination of OptimizationHint values.

### enum QAbstract3DGraph::SelectionFlag
flags QAbstract3DGraph::SelectionFlags

Item selection modes. Values of this enumeration can be combined with OR operator.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QAbstract3DGraph::SelectionNone` | `0` | Selection mode disabled.
`QAbstract3DGraph::SelectionItem` | `1` | Selection highlights a single item.
`QAbstract3DGraph::SelectionRow` | `2` | Selection highlights a single row.
`QAbstract3DGraph::SelectionItemAndRow` | `SelectionItem | SelectionRow` | Combination flag for highlighting both item and row with different colors.
`QAbstract3DGraph::SelectionColumn` | `4` | Selection highlights a single column.
`QAbstract3DGraph::SelectionItemAndColumn` | `SelectionItem | SelectionColumn` | Combination flag for highlighting both item and column with different colors.
`QAbstract3DGraph::SelectionRowAndColumn` | `SelectionRow | SelectionColumn` | Combination flag for highlighting both row and column.
`QAbstract3DGraph::SelectionItemRowAndColumn` | `SelectionItem | SelectionRow | SelectionColumn` | Combination flag for highlighting item, row, and column.
`QAbstract3DGraph::SelectionSlice` | `8` | Setting this mode flag indicates that the graph should take care of the slice view handling automatically. If you wish to control the slice view yourself via Q3DScene, do not set this flag. When setting this mode flag, either `SelectionRow` or `SelectionColumn` must also be set, but not both. Slicing is supported by Q3DBars and Q3DSurface only. When this flag is set, slice mode is entered in the following situations: When selection is changed explicitly via series API to a visible item When selection is changed by clicking on the graph When the selection mode changes and the selected item is visible
`QAbstract3DGraph::SelectionMultiSeries` | `16` | Setting this mode means that items for all series at same position are highlighted, instead of just the selected item. The actual selection in the other series doesn't change. When setting this mode flag, one or more of the basic selection flags (`SelectionItem`, `SelectionRow`, or `SelectionColumn`) must also be set. Multi-series selection is not supported for Q3DScatter.

The SelectionFlags type is a typedef for QFlags<SelectionFlag>. It stores an OR combination of SelectionFlag values.

`QAbstract3DGraph::ShadowQualitySoftLow` | `4` | Shadows are rendered in low quality with softened edges.
`QAbstract3DGraph::ShadowQualitySoftMedium` | `5` | Shadows are rendered in medium quality with softened edges.
`QAbstract3DGraph::ShadowQualitySoftHigh` | `6` | Shadows are rendered in high quality with softened edges.

Defaults to `2.0`.

Note: Has no effect on Q3DBars.

This property was introduced in QtDataVisualization 1.1.

Access functions:

qreal | aspectRatio() const
void | setAspectRatio(qreal ratio)

Notifier signal:

void | aspectRatioChanged(qreal ratio)

See also horizontalAspectRatio.

### `[read-only, since QtDataVisualization 1.1]` currentFps : const qreal

This property holds the rendering results for the last second.

The results are stored in this read-only property when FPS measuring is enabled. It takes at least a second before this value is updated after measuring is activated.

This property was introduced in QtDataVisualization 1.1.

Access functions:

qreal | currentFps() const

Notifier signal:

void | currentFpsChanged(qreal fps)

See also measureFps.

### `[since QtDataVisualization 1.2]` horizontalAspectRatio : qreal

This property holds the ratio of the graph scaling between the x-axis and z-axis.

The value of `0.0` indicates automatic scaling according to axis ranges. Defaults to `0.0`.

Has no effect on Q3DBars, which handles scaling on the horizontal plane via the barThickness and barSpacing properties. Polar graphs also ignore this property.

This property was introduced in QtDataVisualization 1.2.

Access functions:

qreal | horizontalAspectRatio() const
void | setHorizontalAspectRatio(qreal ratio)

Notifier signal:

void | horizontalAspectRatioChanged(qreal ratio)

See also aspectRatio, polar, Q3DBars::barThickness, and Q3DBars::barSpacing.

### `[since QtDataVisualization 1.2]` locale : QLocale

This property holds the locale used for formatting various numeric labels.

Defaults to the `"C"` locale.

This property was introduced in QtDataVisualization 1.2.

Access functions:

QLocale | locale() const
void | setLocale(const QLocale &locale)

Notifier signal:

void | localeChanged(const QLocale &locale)

See also QValue3DAxis::labelFormat.

### `[since QtDataVisualization 1.2]` margin : qreal

This property holds the absolute value used for the space left between the edge of the plottable graph area and the edge of the graph background.

If the margin value is negative, the margins are determined automatically and can vary according to the size of the items in the series and the type of the graph. The value is interpreted as a fraction of the y-axis range if the graph aspect ratios have not beed changed from the default values. Defaults to `-1.0`.

Note: Setting a smaller margin for a scatter graph than the automatically determined margin can cause the scatter items at the edges of the graph to overlap with the graph background.

Note: On scatter and surface graphs, if the margin is small in comparison to the axis label size, the positions of the edge labels of the axes are adjusted to avoid overlap with the edge labels of the neighboring axes.

This property was introduced in QtDataVisualization 1.2.

Access functions:

qreal | margin() const
void | setMargin(qreal margin)

Notifier signal:

void | marginChanged(qreal margin)

### `[since QtDataVisualization 1.1]` measureFps : bool

This property holds whether rendering is done continuously instead of on demand.

If `true`, rendering is continuous and the value of the currentFps property is updated. Defaults to `false`.

This property was introduced in QtDataVisualization 1.1.

Access functions:

bool | measureFps() const
void | setMeasureFps(bool enable)

Notifier signal:

void | measureFpsChanged(bool enabled)

See also currentFps.

### optimizationHints : OptimizationHints

This property holds whether the default or static mode is used for rendering optimization.

The default mode provides the full feature set at a reasonable level of performance. The static mode optimizes graph rendering and is ideal for large non-changing data sets. It is slower with dynamic data changes and item rotations. Selection is not optimized, so using the static mode with massive data sets is not advisable. Static optimization works only on scatter graphs. Defaults to OptimizationDefault.

Note: On some environments, large graphs using static optimization may not render, because all of the items are rendered using a single draw call, and different graphics drivers support different maximum vertice counts per call. This is mostly an issue on 32bit and OpenGL ES2 platforms. To work around this issue, choose an item mesh with a low vertex count or use the point mesh.

Access functions:

QAbstract3DGraph::OptimizationHints | optimizationHints() const
void | setOptimizationHints(QAbstract3DGraph::OptimizationHints hints)

Notifier signal:

void | optimizationHintsChanged(QAbstract3DGraph::OptimizationHints hints)

See also QAbstract3DSeries::mesh.

### `[since QtDataVisualization 1.1]` orthoProjection : bool

This property holds whether orthographic projection is used for displaying the graph.

Defaults to `false`.

Note: Shadows will be disabled when set to `true`.

This property was introduced in QtDataVisualization 1.1.

Access functions:

bool | isOrthoProjection() const
void | setOrthoProjection(bool enable)

Notifier signal:

void | orthoProjectionChanged(bool enabled)

See also QAbstract3DAxis::labelAutoRotation and Q3DCamera::cameraPreset.

### `[since QtDataVisualization 1.2]` polar : bool

This property holds whether horizontal axes are changed into polar axes.

If `true`, the x-axis becomes the angular axis and the z-axis becomes the radial axis. Polar mode is not available for bar graphs.

Defaults to `false`.

This property was introduced in QtDataVisualization 1.2.

Access functions:

bool | isPolar() const
void | setPolar(bool enable)

Notifier signal:

void | polarChanged(bool enabled)

See also orthoProjection and radialLabelOffset.

### `[read-only, since QtDataVisualization 1.2]` queriedGraphPosition : const QVector3D

This property holds the latest queried graph position values along each axis.

This read-only property contains the results from Q3DScene::graphPositionQuery. The values are normalized to the range `[-1, 1]`. If the queried position was outside the graph bounds, the values will not reflect the real position, but will instead indicate an undefined position outside the range `[-1, 1]`. The value will be undefined until a query is made.

There is no single correct 3D coordinate to match a particular screen position, so to be consistent, the queries are always done against the inner sides of an invisible box surrounding the graph.

Note: Bar graphs only allow querying graph position at the graph floor level, so the y-value is always zero for bar graphs and the valid queries can be only made at screen positions that contain the floor of the graph.

This property was introduced in QtDataVisualization 1.2.

Access functions:

QVector3D | queriedGraphPosition() const

Notifier signal:

void | queriedGraphPositionChanged(const QVector3D &data)

See also Q3DScene::graphPositionQuery.

### `[since QtDataVisualization 1.2]` radialLabelOffset : float

This property holds the normalized horizontal offset for the axis labels of the radial polar axis.

The value `0.0` indicates that the labels should be drawn next to the 0-angle angular axis grid line. The value `1.0` indicates that the labels are drawn in their usual place at the edge of the graph background. Defaults to `1.0`.

This property is ignored if the polar property value is `false`.

This property was introduced in QtDataVisualization 1.2.

Access functions:

float | radialLabelOffset() const
void | setRadialLabelOffset(float offset)

Notifier signal:

void | radialLabelOffsetChanged(float offset)

See also polar.

### `[since QtDataVisualization 1.2]` reflection : bool

This property holds whether floor reflections are on or off.

Defaults to `false`.

Affects only Q3DBars. However, in Q3DBars graphs holding both positive and negative values, reflections are not supported for custom items that intersect the floor plane. In that case, reflections should be turned off to avoid incorrect rendering.

If using a custom surface format, the stencil buffer needs to be defined (QSurfaceFormat::setStencilBufferSize()) for reflections to work.

This property was introduced in QtDataVisualization 1.2.

Access functions:

bool | isReflection() const
void | setReflection(bool enable)

Notifier signal:

void | reflectionChanged(bool enabled)

See also reflectivity.

### `[since QtDataVisualization 1.2]` reflectivity : qreal

Floor reflectivity.

Larger numbers make the floor more reflective. The valid range is `[0...1]`. Defaults to `0.5`.

Note: Affects only Q3DBars.

This property was introduced in QtDataVisualization 1.2.

Access functions:

qreal | reflectivity() const
void | setReflectivity(qreal reflectivity)

Notifier signal:

void | reflectivityChanged(qreal reflectivity)

See also reflection.

### `[read-only]` scene : Q3DScene* const

This property holds the Q3DScene pointer that can be used to manipulate the scene and access the scene elements, such as the active camera.

This property is read-only.

Access functions:

Q3DScene * | scene() const

### `[read-only, since QtDataVisualization 1.1]` selectedElement : const ElementType

This property holds the element selected in the graph.

This property can be used to query the selected element type. The type is valid until a new selection is made in the graph and the `selectedElementChanged` signal is emitted.

The signal can be used for example for implementing custom input handlers, as demonstrated by the Axis Range Dragging With Labels Example.

This property was introduced in QtDataVisualization 1.1.

Access functions:

QAbstract3DGraph::ElementType | selectedElement() const

Notifier signal:

void | selectedElementChanged(QAbstract3DGraph::ElementType type)

See also selectedLabelIndex(), selectedAxis(), selectedCustomItemIndex(), selectedCustomItem(), Q3DBars::selectedSeries(), Q3DScatter::selectedSeries(), Q3DSurface::selectedSeries(), and Q3DScene::setSelectionQueryPosition().

### selectionMode : SelectionFlags

Item selection mode.

A combination of SelectionFlags. By default, `SelectionItem`. Different graph types support different selection modes.

Access functions:

QAbstract3DGraph::SelectionFlags | selectionMode() const
void | setSelectionMode(QAbstract3DGraph::SelectionFlags mode)

Notifier signal:

void | selectionModeChanged(QAbstract3DGraph::SelectionFlags mode)

See also SelectionFlags.

### shadowQuality : ShadowQuality

This property holds the quality of the shadow.

One of the ShadowQuality enum values. By default, `ShadowQualityMedium`.

Note: If setting the shadow quality to a certain level fails, the level is lowered until it is successfully set. The `shadowQualityChanged` signal is emitted each time a change is made.

Access functions:

QAbstract3DGraph::ShadowQuality | shadowQuality() const
void | setShadowQuality(QAbstract3DGraph::ShadowQuality quality)

Destroys QAbstract3DGraph.

### `[since QtDataVisualization 1.1]` int QAbstract3DGraph::addCustomItem(QCustom3DItem *item)

Adds a QCustom3DItem item to the graph. Graph takes ownership of the added item.

Returns the index to the added item if the add operation was successful, -1 if trying to add a null item, and the index of the item if trying to add an already added item.

Items are rendered in the order they have been inserted. The rendering order needs to be taken into account when having solid and transparent items.

This function was introduced in QtDataVisualization 1.1.

See also removeCustomItems(), removeCustomItem(), removeCustomItemAt(), and customItems().

### void QAbstract3DGraph::addInputHandler(QAbstract3DInputHandler *inputHandler)

Adds the given inputHandler to the graph. The input handlers added via addInputHandler are not taken in to use directly. Only the ownership of the inputHandler is given to the graph. The inputHandler must not be null or already added to another graph.

See also releaseInputHandler() and setActiveInputHandler().

### void QAbstract3DGraph::addTheme(Q3DTheme *theme)

Adds the given theme to the graph. The themes added via addTheme are not taken in to use directly. Only the ownership of the theme is given to the graph. The theme must not be null or already added to another graph.

This function was introduced in QtDataVisualization 1.1.

See also QCustom3DItem::setTextureImage() and QCustom3DItem::setTextureFile().

### void QAbstract3DGraph::releaseInputHandler(QAbstract3DInputHandler *inputHandler)

Releases the ownership of the inputHandler back to the caller, if it was added to this graph. If the released inputHandler is in use there will be no input handler active after this call.

If the default input handler is released and added back later, it behaves as any other input handler would.

See also addInputHandler() and setActiveInputHandler().

### void QAbstract3DGraph::releaseTheme(Q3DTheme *theme)

Releases the ownership of the theme back to the caller, if it was added to this graph. If the released theme is in use, a new default theme will be created and set active.

This function was introduced in QtDataVisualization 1.1.

See also selectedElement.

### void QAbstract3DGraph::setActiveInputHandler(QAbstract3DInputHandler *inputHandler)

Sets inputHandler as the active input handler used in the graph. Implicitly calls addInputHandler() to transfer ownership of inputHandler to this graph.

If inputHandler is null, no input handler will be active after this call.

Note: Setter function for property activeInputHandler.

See also activeInputHandler(), addInputHandler(), and releaseInputHandler().

### void QAbstract3DGraph::setActiveTheme(Q3DTheme *theme)

Sets theme as the active theme to be used for the graph. Implicitly calls addTheme() to transfer the ownership of the theme to this graph.

If theme is null, a temporary default theme is created. This temporary theme is destroyed if any theme is explicitly set later. Properties of the theme can be modified even after setting it, and the modifications take effect immediately.

Note: Setter function for property activeTheme.

See also activeTheme().

### QSurfaceFormat qDefaultSurfaceFormat(bool antialias)

This convenience function can be used to create a custom surface format suitable for use by Qt Data Visualization graphs.

The antialias parameter specifies whether or not antialiasing is activated.

Give the surface format returned by this function to the graph constructor (C++) or set it as the window format for QQuickView (QML) before calling `show()` on it.

For example, disable antialiasing on C++ application:

     #include <QtDataVisualization/qutils.h>

     // ...

     Q3DBars *graph = new Q3DBars(qDefaultSurfaceFormat(false));

For example, enable antialiasing for direct rendering modes on QML application:

     #include <QtDataVisualization/qutils.h>

     // ...

     QQuickView viewer;
     viewer.setFormat(qDefaultSurfaceFormat(true));

Note: Antialiasing is not supported in OpenGL ES2 environments.
