## Member Type Documentation

### `[since 6.11]` enum class QBarCategoryAxis::LabelPosition

This enum describes the position of the category labels.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QBarCategoryAxis::LabelPosition::Center` | `0` | Labels are centered to category.
`QBarCategoryAxis::LabelPosition::OnValue` | `1` | Labels are positioned to the high end limit of the category.

This enum was introduced in Qt 6.11.

## Property Documentation

### categories : QStringList

This property holds the categories of an axis.

Access functions:

QStringList | categories()
void | setCategories(const QStringList &categories)

Notifier signal:

void | categoriesChanged()

### `[read-only]` count : qsizetype

This property holds the number of categories of an axis.

Access functions:

qsizetype | count() const

Notifier signal:

void | countChanged()

### `[since 6.11]` labelPosition : LabelPosition

This property holds the position of the category labels. The labels in the beginning and in the end of the axes may overlap other axes' labels when positioned on value.

This property was introduced in Qt 6.11.

Access functions:

QBarCategoryAxis::LabelPosition | labelPosition() const
void | setLabelPosition(QBarCategoryAxis::LabelPosition position)

Notifier signal:

void | labelPositionChanged(QBarCategoryAxis::LabelPosition position)

### max : QString

This property holds the maximum value on the axis.

The maximum value on the axis. The given value should be contained in `categories`.

Access functions:

QString | max() const
void | setMax(const QString &max)

Notifier signal:

void | maxChanged(const QString &max)

### min : QString

This property holds the minimum value on the axis.

The minimum value on the axis. The given value should be contained in `categories`.

Access functions:

QString | min() const
void | setMin(const QString &min)

Notifier signal:

void | minChanged(const QString &min)

## Member Function Documentation

### `[explicit]` QBarCategoryAxis::QBarCategoryAxis(QObject *parent = nullptr)

Constructs an axis object that is the child of parent.

### `[override virtual noexcept]` QBarCategoryAxis::~QBarCategoryAxis()

Destroys the axis object.

### `[invokable]` void QBarCategoryAxis::append(const QString &category)

Appends category to an axis. The maximum value on the axis will be changed to match the last category. If no categories were previously defined, the minimum value on the axis will also be changed to match category.

A category has to be a valid QString and it cannot be duplicated. Duplicated categories will not be appended.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

### `[invokable]` void QBarCategoryAxis::append(const QStringList &categories)

Appends categories to an axis. The maximum value on the axis will be changed to match the last category in categories. If no categories were previously defined, the minimum value on the axis will also be changed to match the first category in categories.

A category has to be a valid QString and it cannot be duplicated. Duplicated categories will not be appended.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

### `[invokable]` QString QBarCategoryAxis::at(qsizetype index) const

Returns the category at index.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

### QStringList QBarCategoryAxis::categories()

Returns categories.

Note: Getter function for property categories.

See also setCategories().

### `[invokable]` void QBarCategoryAxis::clear()

Removes all categories. Sets the maximum and minimum values of the axis range to QString::null.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

### qsizetype QBarCategoryAxis::count() const

Returns the number of categories.

Note: Getter function for property count.

### `[invokable]` void QBarCategoryAxis::insert(qsizetype index, const QString &category)

Inserts category to the axis at index. category has to be a valid QString and it cannot be duplicated. If category is prepended or appended to other categories, the minimum and maximum values on the axis are updated accordingly.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

### QString QBarCategoryAxis::max() const

Returns the maximum category.

Note: Getter function for property max.

See also setMax().

### QString QBarCategoryAxis::min() const

Returns the minimum category.

Note: Getter function for property min.

See also setMin().

### `[invokable]` void QBarCategoryAxis::remove(const QString &category)

Removes category from the axis. Removing a category that currently sets the maximum or minimum value on the axis will affect the axis range.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

### `[invokable]` void QBarCategoryAxis::remove(qsizetype index)

Removes a category at index from the axis. Removing a category that currently sets the maximum or minimum value on the axis will affect the axis range.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

### `[invokable]` void QBarCategoryAxis::replace(const QString &oldCategory, const QString &newCategory)

Replaces oldCategory with newCategory. If oldCategory does not exist on the axis, nothing is done. newCategory has to be a valid QString and it cannot be duplicated. If the minimum or maximum category is replaced, the minimum and maximum values on the axis are updated accordingly.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

### void QBarCategoryAxis::setCategories(const QStringList &categories)

Sets categories and discards the old ones. The axis range is adjusted to match the first and last category in categories.

A category has to be a valid QString and it cannot be duplicated.

Note: Setter function for property categories.

See also categories().

### void QBarCategoryAxis::setMax(const QString &max)

Sets the maximum category to max.

Note: Setter function for property max.

See also max().

### void QBarCategoryAxis::setMin(const QString &min)

Sets the minimum category to min.

Note: Setter function for property min.

See also min().

### void QBarCategoryAxis::setRange(const QString &minCategory, const QString &maxCategory)

Sets the axis range from minCategory to maxCategory.

### `[override virtual]` QAbstractAxis::AxisType QBarCategoryAxis::type() const

Reimplements: QAbstractAxis::type() const.

Returns the type of the axis.
