Detailed Description

The QSurface3DSeries class represents a data series in a 3D surface graph.

This class manages the series specific visual elements, as well as the series data (via a data proxy).

If no data proxy is set explicitly for the series, the series creates a default proxy. Setting another proxy will destroy the existing proxy and all data added to it.

The object mesh set via the QAbstract3DSeries::mesh property defines the selection pointer shape in a surface series.

QSurface3DSeries supports the following format tags for QAbstract3DSeries::setItemLabelFormat():

@xTitle Title from x-axis
@yTitle Title from y-axis
@zTitle Title from z-axis
@xLabel Item value formatted using the format of the x-axis. For more information, see QValue3DAxis::setLabelFormat().
@yLabel Item value formatted using the format of the y-axis. For more information, see QValue3DAxis::setLabelFormat().
@zLabel Item value formatted using the format of the z-axis. For more information, see QValue3DAxis::setLabelFormat().
@seriesName Name of the series

For example:

proxy->setItemLabelFormat(QStringLiteral("@valueTitle for (@rowLabel, @colLabel): %.1f"));

Member Type Documentation

enum QSurface3DSeries::DrawFlagflags QSurface3DSeries::DrawFlags

The drawing mode of the surface. Values of this enumeration can be combined with the OR operator.

Constant Value Description
QSurface3DSeries::DrawWireframe 1 Only the grid is drawn.
QSurface3DSeries::DrawSurface 2 Only the surface is drawn.
QSurface3DSeries::DrawSurfaceAndWireframe DrawWireframe | DrawSurface Both the surface and grid are drawn.

The DrawFlags type is a typedef for QFlags<DrawFlag>. It stores an OR combination of DrawFlag values.

Property Documentation

dataProxy : QSurfaceDataProxy*

This property holds the active data proxy.

The series assumes ownership of any proxy set to it and deletes any previously set proxy when a new one is added. The proxy cannot be null or set to another series.

Access functions:

QSurfaceDataProxy * dataProxy() const
void setDataProxy(QSurfaceDataProxy *proxy)

Notifier signal:

void dataProxyChanged(QSurfaceDataProxy *proxy)

drawMode : DrawFlags

The drawing mode.

Possible values are the values of DrawFlag. Clearing all flags is not allowed.

Access functions:

QSurface3DSeries::DrawFlags drawMode() const
void setDrawMode(QSurface3DSeries::DrawFlags mode)

Notifier signal:

void drawModeChanged(QSurface3DSeries::DrawFlags mode)

flatShadingEnabled : bool

This property holds whether surface flat shading is enabled.

Preset to true by default.

When disabled, the normals on the surface are interpolated making the edges look round. When enabled, the normals are kept the same on a triangle making the color of the triangle solid. This makes the data more readable from the model.

Note: Flat shaded surfaces require at least GLSL version 1.2 with GL_EXT_gpu_shader4 extension. The value of the flatShadingSupported property indicates whether flat shading is supported at runtime.

Access functions:

bool isFlatShadingEnabled() const
void setFlatShadingEnabled(bool enabled)

Notifier signal:

void flatShadingEnabledChanged(bool enable)

flatShadingSupported : const bool

This property holds whether surface flat shading is supported by the current system.

Flat shading for surfaces requires at least GLSL version 1.2 with GL_EXT_gpu_shader4 extension. If true, flat shading for surfaces is supported.

Note: This read-only property is set to its correct value after the first render pass. Until then it is always true.

Access functions:

bool isFlatShadingSupported() const

Notifier signal:

void flatShadingSupportedChanged(bool enable)

selectedPoint : QPoint

This property holds the surface grid point that is selected in the series.

Access functions:

QPoint selectedPoint() const
void setSelectedPoint(const QPoint &position)

Notifier signal:

void selectedPointChanged(const QPoint &position)

texture : QImage

This property holds the texture for the surface as a QImage.

Setting an empty QImage clears the texture.

Access functions:

QImage texture() const
void setTexture(const QImage &texture)

Notifier signal:

void textureChanged(const QImage &image)

textureFile : QString

This property holds the texture for the surface as a file.

Setting an empty file name clears the texture.

Access functions:

QString textureFile() const
void setTextureFile(const QString &filename)

Notifier signal:

void textureFileChanged(const QString &filename)

Member Function Documentation

QSurface3DSeries::QSurface3DSeries(QObject *parent = nullptr)

Constructs a surface 3D series with the parent parent.

QSurface3DSeries::QSurface3DSeries(QSurfaceDataProxy *dataProxy, QObject *parent = nullptr)

Constructs a surface 3D series with the data proxy dataProxy and the parent parent.

[virtual] QSurface3DSeries::~QSurface3DSeries()

Deletes the surface 3D series.

[static] QPoint QSurface3DSeries::invalidSelectionPosition()

Returns the QPoint signifying an invalid selection position. This is set to the selectedPoint property to clear the selection from this series.

See also QAbstract3DGraph::clearSelection().

void QSurface3DSeries::setSelectedPoint(const QPoint &position)

Selects a surface grid point at the position position in the data array of the series specified by a row and a column.

Only one point can be selected at a time.

To clear selection from this series, invalidSelectionPosition() is set as position. If this series is added to a graph, the graph can adjust the selection according to user interaction or if it becomes invalid.

Removing rows from or inserting rows to the series before the row of the selected point will adjust the selection so that the same point will stay selected.

Note: Setter function for property selectedPoint.

See also selectedPoint() and QAbstract3DGraph::clearSelection().
