\title LegendMarkers Example
\subtitle
The example shows how to make use of legend markers. In this example we create an application which uses QLegendMarker clicked signal to show/hide corresponding series
in chart. The connect marker button connects clicked signal from all markers in legend to handleMarkerClicked slot.
\image examples_legendmarkers.png
Our application has buttons for adding or removing series in chart and button to connect or disconnect legend markers clicked signal to our handler. In the image above,
we have connected the markers and clicked on one of them.
\snippet ../examples/legendmarkers/mainwidget.cpp 1
Here we connect the markers in legend to our handler. To avoid conncecting same marker more than once, we first disconnect it.
\snippet ../examples/legendmarkers/mainwidget.cpp 2
Here we disconnect all markers from our handler.
\snippet ../examples/legendmarkers/mainwidget.cpp 3
In our handler we first cast the sender of event to QLegendMarker.
\snippet ../examples/legendmarkers/mainwidget.cpp 4
Then we check the type of marker. This is needed if we want to access the detailed methods of the marker and cast it to correct type.
If all we need is the pointer to QAbstractSeries, the casting isn't necessary. In case of pie or bar series, we may need the pointer to related QPieSlice or QBarSet.
\snippet ../examples/legendmarkers/mainwidget.cpp 5
We want to toggle the visibility of the series, when marker is clicked. To do so, we get the pointer to related series from marker and toggle its visibility.
Because the legend marker follows the visibility of the series by default, we also set the marked back to visible. If we don't do that, the marker will be
invisible in legend and we can't click on it anymore.
\snippet ../examples/legendmarkers/mainwidget.cpp 6
Instead of making marker invisible when series is hidden, we dim the color of the marker. Here we do it by modifying the color of the laberBrush.
