## Member Type Documentation

### `[since 6.2]` enum class QXYSeries::PointConfiguration

This enum value describes the particular configuration of a point.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QXYSeries::PointConfiguration::Color` | `0` | This enum value can be used to change a point's color. If used together with QXYSeries::setPointConfiguration, the configuration's value should be a valid QColor.
`QXYSeries::PointConfiguration::Size` | `1` | This enum value can be used to change a point's size. If used together with QXYSeries::setPointConfiguration, the configuration's value should be a number, such as `qreal` or `int`.
`QXYSeries::PointConfiguration::Visibility` | `2` | This enum value can be used to hide or show the point. If used together with QXYSeries::setPointConfiguration, the configuration's value should be boolean.
`QXYSeries::PointConfiguration::LabelVisibility` | `3` | This enum value can be used to hide or show the label of the point. If used together with QXYSeries::setPointConfiguration, the configuration's value should be boolean.
`QXYSeries::PointConfiguration::LabelFormat (since Qt 6.5)` | `4` | This enum value can be used to set custom label text per-point. If used together with QXYSeries::setPointConfiguration, the configuration's value should be a string. Note: If an empty string is set as the LabelFormat, it will be ignored, and the series pointLabelsFormat will be used.

This enum was introduced in Qt 6.2.

See also pointLabelsFormat and setPointConfiguration().

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().

### `[signal, since 6.2]` void QXYSeries::lightMarkerChanged(const QImage &lightMarker)

Note: Notifier signal for property selectedColor.

### `[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 series");
     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::Color);
     conf[QXYSeries::PointConfiguration::LabelFormat] = "This Point";
     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 visibly bigger than the others with a look derived from the series configuration. By default, points don't have labels, but the point at index 4 has a label thanks to the QXYSeries::PointConfiguration::LabelVisibility and QXYSeries::PointConfiguration::LabelFormat configuration values. The point at index 6 has a custom label This Point thanks to the QXYSeries::PointConfiguration::LabelFormat configuration value. Below is an example of a chart created in this way:

This function was introduced in Qt 6.2.

### `[since 6.2]` void QXYSeries::setPointConfiguration(const int index, const QXYSeries::PointConfiguration key, const QVariant &value)

Enables customizing a particular aspect of a point's configuration.

Note: Points configuration concept provides a flexible way to configure various aspects of a point's appearance. Thus, values need to have an elastic type such as QVariant. See QXYSeries::PointConfiguration to see what value should be passed for certain key.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.2.

See also pointsConfiguration().

### `[since 6.2]` void QXYSeries::setPointSelected(int index, bool selected)

Marks point at given index as either selected or deselected as specified by selected.

Note: Selected points are drawn using the selected color if it was specified. Emits QXYSeries::selectedPointsChanged

This function was introduced in Qt 6.2.

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

### `[since 6.2]` void QXYSeries::setPointsConfiguration(const QHash<int, QHash<QXYSeries::PointConfiguration, QVariant>> &pointsConfiguration)

Enables customizing the configuration of multiple points as specified by pointsConfiguration.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.2.

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.

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

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

Sets the points' sizes according to a passed list of values. Values from sourceData are sorted and mapped to a point size which is between minSize and maxSize.

Note: If sourceData length is smaller than number of points in the series, then size of the points at the end of the series will stay the same.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.2.

See also setPointConfiguration() and pointConfiguration().

### `[since 6.2]` void QXYSeries::toggleSelection(const QList<int> &indexes)

Changes selection state of points at given indexes to the opposite one. Makes

Note: Emits QXYSeries::selectedPointsChanged

This function was introduced in Qt 6.2.

See also setPointSelected().

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

Stream operator for adding the list of data points specified by points to the series.

See also append().

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

Stream operator for adding the data point point to the series.

See also append().
