This example shows how to use QAbstractItemModel derived model as the data for the bar series.

|
|
|
|
Let's start by creating an instance of CustomTableModel class.
|
|
|
CustomTableModel class is derived from QAbstractTableModel and it was created for the purpose of this example.
|
|
|
The constructor of this class populates the internal data store of the model with the data that is good for our chart example.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\snippet ../examples/barmodelmapper/tablewidget.cpp 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
We now have a model with data that we would like to display both on the chart and in a QTableView.
|
|
|
First, we create QTableView and tell it use the model as a data source. To have the data presented nicely the minimum width of the table view is set and its headers resize mode changed to stretch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\snippet ../examples/barmodelmapper/tablewidget.cpp 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now we need QChart instance to display the same data on the chart.
|
|
|
We also enable animations. It makes it easier to see how modifying the model's data affect the chart.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\snippet ../examples/barmodelmapper/tablewidget.cpp 3
|
|
|
|
|
|
First line of the code below creates new bar series. Variables firstRow and rowCount are used to define a custom model mapping.
|
|
|
Custom mapping allows to take only part of the data from the model. In this case data from 5 rows starting with the row with the index 3.
|
|
|
Following three lines create an instance of QVBarModelMapper class and specifie that data for the bar sets should be taken from the model's columns with indexes from 1 to 4(inclusive).
|
|
|
To create a connection between the series and the model we set both of those objects to QVBarModelMapper.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally the series is added to the chart.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\snippet ../examples/barmodelmapper/tablewidget.cpp 4
|
|
|
|
|
|
To show in QTableView which data corresponds with which bar set this example uses table coloring.
|
|
|
When series is added to the chart it is assigned a color based on the currently selected theme.
|
|
|
Code below extracts that color from the series and uses it to create colored QTableView.
|
|
|
Coloring of the view is not a part of the QChart functionality.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\snippet ../examples/barmodelmapper/tablewidget.cpp 5
|
|
|
|
|
|
We would like to have categories placed on the chart's axis that describe what the data means.
|
|
|
Next snippet shows how to do that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\snippet ../examples/barmodelmapper/tablewidget.cpp 6
|
|
|
|
|
|
To avoid setting up the QGraphicsScene we use QChartView class that does it for us. QChart object pointer is used as a parameter of the QChartView constructor.
|
|
|
To make the render look nicer Antialiasing is turned on and the minimum size of the chartView widget is set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\snippet ../examples/barmodelmapper/tablewidget.cpp 7
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally we place both widgets in a layout and use the layout as the application layout.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\snippet ../examples/barmodelmapper/tablewidget.cpp 8
|
|
|
|
|
|
Application is ready. Try modifying the data in the table view and see how it affects the chart.
