## Detailed Description

QwtPlotBarChart displays a series of a values as bars.

Each bar might be customized individually by implementing a specialSymbol(). Otherwise it is rendered using a default symbol.

Depending on its orientation() the bars are displayed horizontally or vertically. The bars cover the interval between the baseline() and the value.

By activating the LegendBarTitles mode each sample will have its own entry on the legend.

The most common use case of a bar chart is to display a list of y coordinates, where the x coordinate is simply the index in the list. But for other situations ( f.e. when values are related to dates ) it is also possible to set x coordinates explicitly.

## ◆ legendData()

QList< QwtLegendData > QwtPlotBarChart::legendData | ( |  | ) | const

override protected virtual

Return all information, that is needed to represent the item on the legend.

Returns
  Information, that is needed to represent the item on the legend

Set the mode that decides what to display on the legend

In case of LegendBarTitles barTitle() needs to be overloaded to return individual titles for each bar.

Parameters

  mode | New mode

See also
  legendMode(), legendData(), barTitle(), QwtPlotItem::ItemAttribute

Definition at line 164 of file qwt_plot_barchart.cpp.

## ◆ setSamples() [1/3]

void QwtPlotBarChart::setSamples | ( | const QVector< double > & | samples | ) |

Initialize data with an array of doubles

The indices in the array are taken as x coordinate, while the doubles are interpreted as y values.

Parameters

  samples | Vector of y coordinates

Note
  QVector is implicitly shared

Definition at line 97 of file qwt_plot_barchart.cpp.

## ◆ setSamples() [2/3]

void QwtPlotBarChart::setSamples | ( | const QVector< QPointF > & | samples | ) |

Initialize data with an array of points

Parameters

  samples | Vector of points

Note
  QVector is implicitly shared
  QPolygonF is derived from QVector<QPointF>

Definition at line 82 of file qwt_plot_barchart.cpp.

## ◆ setSamples() [3/3]

void QwtPlotBarChart::setSamples | ( | QwtSeriesData< QPointF > * | data | ) |

Assign a series of samples

setSamples() is just a wrapper for setData() without any additional value - beside that it is easier to find for the developer.

Parameters

  data | Data

Warning
  The item takes ownership of the data object, deleting it when its not used anymore.

Definition at line 119 of file qwt_plot_barchart.cpp.

## ◆ setSymbol()

void QwtPlotBarChart::setSymbol | ( | QwtColumnSymbol * | symbol | ) |

Assign a symbol.

The bar chart will take the ownership of the symbol, hence the previously set symbol will be delete by setting a new one. If `symbol` is `NULL` no symbol will be drawn.

Parameters

  symbol | Symbol

See also
  symbol()

Definition at line 134 of file qwt_plot_barchart.cpp.

## ◆ specialSymbol()

QwtColumnSymbol * QwtPlotBarChart::specialSymbol | ( | int | sampleIndex,
|  | const QPointF & | sample
| ) |  | const

virtual

Needs to be overloaded to return a non default symbol for a specific sample

Parameters

  sampleIndex | Index of the sample represented by the bar
  sample | Value of the sample

Returns
  NULL, indicating to use the default symbol

Definition at line 377 of file qwt_plot_barchart.cpp.

## ◆ symbol()

const QwtColumnSymbol * QwtPlotBarChart::symbol | ( |  | ) | const

Returns
  Current symbol or NULL, when no symbol has been assigned
