## Detailed Description

## Property Documentation

### color : QColor

This property holds the color of the series.

This is the line (pen) color in case of QLineSeries or QSplineSeries and the 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

This property holds the clipping for data point labels.

This property is `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

This property holds 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

This property holds 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

This property holds the format used for showing labels with data points.

QXYSeries supports the following format tags:

@xPoint | The x-coordinate of the data point.
@yPoint | The y-coordinate of the data point.

For example, the following usage of the format tags would produce labels that display the data point shown inside brackets separated by a comma (x, y):

     series->setPointLabelsFormat("(@xPoint, @yPoint)");

By default, the labels' format is set to `@xPoint, @yPoint`. The labels are shown on the plot area, and the 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

This property holds the visibility of data point labels.

This property is `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

This property holds whether the data points are visible and should be drawn.

Access functions:

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

## Member Function Documentation

### `[signal]` void QXYSeries::clicked(const QPointF &point)

This signal is emitted when the user triggers a mouse event by clicking the point point in the chart.

This signal is emitted when a point is replaced at the position specified by index.

See also replace().

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

See also removePoints() and clear().

### `[signal]` void QXYSeries::pointsReplaced()

This signal is emitted when all points are replaced with other points.

See also replace().

### `[signal]` void QXYSeries::pressed(const QPointF &point)

This signal is emitted when the user presses the data point point in the chart and holds down the mouse button.

See also clicked(), released(), and doubleClicked().

### `[signal]` void QXYSeries::released(const QPointF &point)

This signal is emitted when the user releases the mouse press on the data point specified by point.

See also pressed(), clicked(), and doubleClicked().

### `[virtual]` QXYSeries::~QXYSeries()

Deletes the series. Series added to QChart instances are owned by them, and are deleted when the QChart instances are deleted.

### void QXYSeries::append(qreal x, qreal y)

Adds the data point with the coordinates x and y to the series.

### void QXYSeries::append(const QPointF &point)

This is an overloaded function.

### const QPointF &QXYSeries::at(int index) const

Returns the data point at the position specified by index in the internal points vector.

### QBrush QXYSeries::brush() const

Returns the brush used to fill the data points for the series.

See also setBrush().

### void QXYSeries::clear()

Removes all points from the series.

See also pointsRemoved().

### int QXYSeries::count() const

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

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

### QVector<QPointF> QXYSeries::pointsVector() const

Returns the points in the series as a vector. This is more efficient than calling points().

### void QXYSeries::remove(qreal x, qreal y)

Removes the point that has the coordinates x and y from the series.

### void QXYSeries::remove(const QPointF &point)

Removes the data point point from the series.

See also pointRemoved().

Replaces the point at the position specified by index with the point specified by newPoint.

See also pointReplaced().

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

Replaces the current points with the points specified by 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. 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 the points specified by 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().

### `[virtual]` void QXYSeries::setBrush(const QBrush &brush)

Sets the brush used for drawing points on the chart to brush. If the brush is not defined, the brush from the chart theme setting is used.

See also brush() and QChart::setTheme().

### `[virtual]` void QXYSeries::setPen(const QPen &pen)

Sets the pen used for drawing points on the chart to pen. If the pen is not defined, the pen from the chart theme is used.

See also pen() and QChart::setTheme().

### QXYSeries &QXYSeries::operator<<(const QPointF &point)
