See also selectedPoints(), setPointSelected(), and setSelectedColor().

[since 6.2] const QImage &QXYSeries::lightMarker() const

Gets the image used for drawing markers on each point of the series.

The default value is QImage(), meaning no light marker will be painted.

The light markers visualize the data points of this series and as such are an alternative to setPointsVisible(true). Both features can be enabled independently from each other.

Unlike the elements of QScatterSeries the light markers are not represented by QGraphicsItem, but are just painted (no objects created). However, the mouse-event-signals of QXYSeries behave the same way, meaning that you'll get the exact domain value of the point if you click/press/hover the light marker. You'll still get the in between domain value if you click on the line. The light markers are above the line in terms of painting as well as events.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.2.

See also QXYSeries::setLightMarker().

[since 6.2] qreal QXYSeries::markerSize() const

Gets the size of the marker used to render points in the series.

The default size depends on the specific QXYSeries type. QScatterSeries has a default of 15.0 QLineSeries has a default of the series pen size * 1.5

This function was introduced in Qt 6.2.

See also setMarkerSize() and QScatterSeries::markerSize.

[since 6.2] void QXYSeries::selectPoint(int index)

This function was introduced in Qt 6.2.

See also setPointSelected().

[since 6.2] const QImage &QXYSeries::selectedLightMarker() const

Returns the image used for drawing markers on selected series' points.

The default value is QImage(), meaning usual lightMarker() will be painted.

This is equivalent to selectedColor if you prefer light markers over normal points, but still want to distinguish selected points.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.2.

See also setSelectedLightMarker(), lightMarker(), selectedColor, and setPointSelected().

[since 6.2] QList<int> QXYSeries::selectedPoints() const

Returns a list of points indexes marked as selected. Selected points are visible regardless of points visibility.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.2.

See also setPointSelected() and pointsVisible().

[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().

[since 6.2] void QXYSeries::setLightMarker(const QImage &lightMarker)

Sets the image used for drawing markers on each point of the series as the value of lightMarker.

The default value is a default-QImage() (QImage::isNull() == true), meaning no light marker will be painted. You can reset back to default (disabled) by calling this function with a null QImage (QImage()).

The light markers visualize the data points of this series and as such are an alternative to setPointsVisible(true). If a light marker is set with this method, visible points as set with setPointsVisible(true) are not displayed.

Unlike the elements of QScatterSeries the light markers are not represented by QGraphicsItem, but are just painted (no objects created). However, the mouse-event-signals of QXYSeries behave the same way, meaning that you'll get the exact domain value of the point if you click/press/hover the light marker. You'll still get the in between domain value if you click on the line. The light markers are above the line in terms of painting as well as events.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.2.

See also QXYSeries::lightMarker().

[since 6.2] void QXYSeries::setMarkerSize(qreal size)

Sets the size of the marker used to render points in the series.

The default size is 15.0.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.2.

See also QScatterSeries::markerSize.

[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().

[since 6.2] void QXYSeries::setPointConfiguration(const int index, const QHash<QXYSeries::PointConfiguration, QVariant> &configuration)

Enables customizing the appearance of a point located at index with desired configuration.

With points configuration you can change various aspects of every point's appearance.

A point's configuration is represented as a hash map with QXYSeries::pointConfiguration keys and QVariant values. For example:

QLineSeries *series = new QLineSeries();
series->setName("Customized serie");
series->setPointsVisible(true);

*series << QPointF(0, 6) << QPointF(2, 4) << QPointF(3, 6) << QPointF(7, 4) << QPointF(10, 5)
        << QPointF(11, 1) << QPointF(13, 3) << QPointF(17, 6) << QPointF(18, 3)
        << QPointF(20, 2);

QChart *chart = new QChart();
chart->addSeries(series);
chart->createDefaultAxes();

QHash<QXYSeries::PointConfiguration, QVariant> conf;
conf[QXYSeries::PointConfiguration::Color] = QColor(Qt::red);
conf[QXYSeries::PointConfiguration::Size] = 8;
conf[QXYSeries::PointConfiguration::LabelVisibility] = true;

series->setPointConfiguration(4, conf);

conf.remove(QXYSeries::PointConfiguration::LabelVisibility);
series->setPointConfiguration(6, conf);

In this example, you can see a default QLineSeries with 10 points and with changed configuration of two points. Both changed points are red and visibly bigger than the others with a look derived from series. By default, points don't have labels, but the point at index 4 has the label thanks to the QXYSeries::PointConfiguration::LabelVisibility configuration value. Below is an example of a chart created in this way:

See also pointsConfiguration().

[since 6.2] void QXYSeries::setSelectedLightMarker(const QImage &selectedLightMarker)

Sets the image used for drawing markers on selected series's points to selectedLightMarker.

The default value is QImage(), meaning usual lightMarker() will be painted.

This is an equivalent for selectedColor if you prefer light markers over normal points, but still want to distinguish selected points.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.2.

[since 6.2] void QXYSeries::sizeBy(const QList<qreal> &sourceData, const qreal minSize, const qreal maxSize)
