34 34 Qt Charts module provides a set of easy to use chart components. It uses the Qt Graphics View
35 35 Framework, therefore charts can be easily integrated to modern user interfaces. Qt Charts can
36 36 be used as QWidgets, QGraphicsWidget, or QML types. Users can easily create impressive
37 37 graphs by selecting one of the charts themes.

39 39 \section1 Getting Started
40 40
41 41 To import Qt Charts QML types, add the following import statement to your \c .qml file:
42 42
43 43 \snippet doc_src_qmlcharts.cpp 0
44 44
45 45 If you intend to use Qt Charts C++ classes in your application, use the
46 46 following include and using directives:
47 47
48 48 \snippet doc_src_qtcharts.cpp 0
49 49
50 \note If you are only using a few classes from this module, we recommend including only those
51 specific classes instead of the whole module.
50 \note Since Qt Creator 3.0, projects created with Qt Quick Application
51 wizard based on the Qt Quick 2 template uses QGuiApplication by default.
52 All such QGuiApplication instances in the project must be replaced with
53 QApplication as the module depends on Qt's \l{Graphics View Framework}
54 for rendering.
52 55
53 56 To link against the Qt Charts module, add this line to your \c qmake project file:
54 57
55 58 \snippet doc_src_qtcharts.pro 0
56 59
57 See the \l{Qt Charts Getting Started}{Getting started} page for further information on
58 how to use Qt Charts in your application.

35 35 \brief C++ classes for the Qt Charts API.
36 36
37 37 Charts API is built on top of Qt Graphics View Framework. Charts can be displayed as QGraphicsWidget using the QChart class. However
38 38 there is also the convenience class QChartView, which is QWidget based. These enable us to quickly use Qt Charts as a normal Qt widget.
39 39
40 40 Each chart type is represented by the QAbstractSeries derived class. To create charts, the users have to use an instance of the related
41 41 series class and add it to a QChart instance.
42 42 \code
43 43 QLineSeries* series = new QLineSeries();
44 44 series->add(0, 6);
45 45 series->add(2, 4);
46 46 ...
47 47 chartView->chart()->addSeries(series);
48 48 chartView->chart()->createDefaultAxes();

57 57 \brief QML types for the Qt Charts API.
58 58
59 59 The Qt Charts QML API is an intuitive and simple way to show charts in your QML
60 60 applications.
61 61
62 62 Use the following QML to create a simple pie chart:

68 68 \note Since Qt Creator 3.0 the project created with Qt Quick Application wizard based on
69 69 Qt Quick 2 template uses QGuiApplication by default. As Qt Charts utilizes Qt Graphics View
70 70 Framework for drawing, QApplication must be used. The project created with the wizard is
71 71 usable with Qt Charts after the QGuiApplication is replaced with QApplication.

94 \section1 Installing the Qt Charts module
95
96 Use the \c {Package Manager} in \c {Maintenance Tool} or the \c {Online installer} to install
97 the Qt Charts module. The module can be found under \c {Qt Enterprise Add-Ons} in the
98 package manager.
99
100 After installation Qt Charts documentation and examples are available in Qt Creator.
101 Examples can be found on the examples page of Qt Creator by selecting the Qt Charts
102 component from the drop-down menu.
103
104 The source code is installed into the QtCharts folder under EnterpriseAddOns.
105
106 \section1 Building Qt Charts
107
108 To build the Qt Charts module from source code yourself, set up a command prompt with
109 an environment for building Qt applications, navigate to the directory containing
110 \c {qtcharts.pro}, and configure the project with qmake:
111 \code
112 qmake
113 \endcode
114
115 qmake should be run from the folder where Qt has been installed. For example,
116 if Qt is built with -prefix /opt/MyXCompiledQt, then qmake should be run
117 from /opt/MyXCompiledQt/bin/qmake.
118
119 After running qmake, build the project with make:
120 \table
121 \header
122 \li OS \li Make command
123 \row
124 \li Linux \li make
125 \row
126 \li Windows (MinGw) \li mingw32-make
127 \row
128 \li Windows (MSVC) \li nmake
129 \row
130 \li OSX \li make
131 \endtable
132
133 The above generates the default makefiles for your configuration, which is typically
134 the release build if you are using precompiled binary Qt distribution. To build both debug
135 and release, or one specifically, use one of the following qmake lines instead.
136
137 For debug builds:
138 \code
139 qmake CONFIG+=debug
140 make
141 \endcode
142 or
143 \code
144 qmake CONFIG+=debug_and_release
145 make debug
146 \endcode
147
148 For release builds:
149 \code
150 qmake CONFIG+=release
151 make
152 \endcode
153 or
154 \code
155 qmake CONFIG+=debug_and_release
156 make release
157 \endcode
158
159 For both builds (Windows/OS X only):
160 \code
161 qmake CONFIG+="debug_and_release build_all"
162 make
163 \endcode
164
165 After building, install the module to your Qt directory:
166 \code
167 make install
168 \endcode
169
170 If you want to uninstall the module:
171 \code
172 make uninstall
173 \endcode
174
175 To build a statically linked version of the Qt Charts module, give the following commands:
176
177 \snippet doc_src_qtcharts.cpp 1
178
179 \section1 Running examples
180
181 Qt Charts examples are found under the \c examples subdirectory. To build and run a single
182 example, in this case qmlpolarchart, navigate to the example directory and enter the following
183 commands:
184
185 \snippet doc_src_qtcharts.cpp 2
186
187 \note On some platforms, such as Windows, the executable can be generated under debug or
188 release folders, depending on your build.
189
190 \section1 Creating a simple application
191
192 To create a simple application, start by creating a new Qt Gui Application project in Qt
193 Creator and add this line to the \c .pro file of the project:
194
195 \snippet doc_src_qtcharts.pro 0
196
197 In the \c main.cpp file, include the module headers and declare namespace usage:
198
199 \snippet doc_src_qtcharts.cpp 0
200
201 \note Since Qt Creator 3.0 the project created with Qt Quick Application wizard based on
202 Qt Quick 2 template uses QGuiApplication by default. As Qt Charts utilizes Qt Graphics View
203 Framework for drawing, QApplication must be used. The project created with the wizard is
204 usable with Qt Charts after the QGuiApplication is replaced with QApplication.
205
206 For further code examples, see one of the Qt Charts examples:
