## Detailed Description

A plottable representing a bar chart in a plot.

To plot data, assign it with the setData or addData functions.

# Changing the appearance

The appearance of the bars is determined by the pen and the brush (setPen, setBrush).

Bar charts are stackable. This means, Two QCPBars plottables can be placed on top of each other (see QCPBars::moveAbove). Then, when two bars are at the same key position, they will appear stacked.

# Usage

Like all data representing objects in QCustomPlot, the QCPBars is a plottable (QCPAbstractPlottable). So the plottable-interface of QCustomPlot applies (QCustomPlot::plottable, QCustomPlot::addPlottable, QCustomPlot::removePlottable, etc.)

Usually, you first create an instance:

QCPBars *newBars = new QCPBars(customPlot->xAxis, customPlot->yAxis);

add it to the customPlot with QCustomPlot::addPlottable:

customPlot->addPlottable(newBars);

and then modify the properties of the newly created plottable, e.g.:

newBars->setName("Country population");
newBars->setData(xData, yData);

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QCPBars::QCPBars | ( | QCPAxis * | keyAxis,
|  | QCPAxis * | valueAxis
| ) |  |
| explicit

Constructs a bar chart which uses keyAxis as its key axis ("x") and valueAxis as its value axis ("y"). keyAxis and valueAxis must reside in the same QCustomPlot instance and not have the same orientation. If either of these restrictions is violated, a corresponding message is printed to the debug output (qDebug), the construction is not aborted, though.

The constructed QCPBars can be added to the plot with QCustomPlot::addPlottable, QCustomPlot then takes ownership of the bar chart.

## Member Function Documentation

QCPBars * QCPBars::barBelow | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Returns the bars plottable that is directly below this bars plottable. If there is no such plottable, returns 0.

See Also
  barAbove, moveBelow, moveAbove

QCPBars * QCPBars::barAbove | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Returns the bars plottable that is directly above this bars plottable. If there is no such plottable, returns 0.

See Also
  barBelow, moveBelow, moveAbove

void QCPBars::setWidth | ( | double | width | ) |

Sets the width of the bars in plot (key) coordinates.

void QCPBars::setData | ( | QCPBarDataMap * | data,
|  | bool | copy = `false`
| ) |  |

Replaces the current data with the provided data.

If copy is set to true, data points in data will only be copied. if false, the plottable takes ownership of the passed data and replaces the internal data pointer with it. This is significantly faster than copying for large datasets.

void QCPBars::setData | ( | const QVector< double > & | key,
|  | const QVector< double > & | value
| ) |  |

This is an overloaded function.

Replaces the current data with the provided points in key and value tuples. The provided vectors should have equal length. Else, the number of added points will be the size of the smallest vector.

void QCPBars::moveBelow | ( | QCPBars * | bars | ) |

Moves this bars plottable below bars. In other words, the bars of this plottable will appear below the bars of bars. The move target bars must use the same key and value axis as this plottable.

Inserting into and removing from existing bar stacking is handled gracefully. If bars already has a bars object below itself, this bars object is inserted between the two. If this bars object is already between two other bars, the two other bars will be stacked on top of each other after the operation.

To remove this bars plottable from any stacking, set bars to 0.

See Also
  moveBelow, barAbove, barBelow

void QCPBars::moveAbove | ( | QCPBars * | bars | ) |

Moves this bars plottable above bars. In other words, the bars of this plottable will appear above the bars of bars. The move target bars must use the same key and value axis as this plottable.

Inserting into and removing from existing bar stacking is handled gracefully. If bars already has a bars object below itself, this bars object is inserted between the two. If this bars object is already between two other bars, the two other bars will be stacked on top of each other after the operation.

To remove this bars plottable from any stacking, set bars to 0.

void QCPBars::addData | ( | const QCPBarDataMap & | dataMap | ) |

Adds the provided data points in dataMap to the current data.

See Also
  removeData

void QCPBars::addData | ( | const QCPBarData & | data | ) |

This is an overloaded function.

Adds the provided single data point in data to the current data.

See Also
  removeData

void QCPBars::addData | ( | double | key,
|  | double | value
| ) |  |

This is an overloaded function.

Adds the provided single data point as key and value tuple to the current data

See Also
  removeData

void QCPBars::addData | ( | const QVector< double > & | keys,
|  | const QVector< double > & | values
| ) |  |

This is an overloaded function.

Adds the provided data points as key and value tuples to the current data.

  removeData

void QCPBars::removeDataBefore | ( | double | key | ) |

Removes all data points with key smaller than key.

See Also
  addData, clearData

void QCPBars::removeDataAfter | ( | double | key | ) |

Removes all data points with key greater than key.

See Also
  addData, clearData

void QCPBars::removeData | ( | double | fromKey,
|  | double | toKey
| ) |  |

Removes all data points with key between fromKey and toKey. if fromKey is greater or equal to toKey, the function does nothing. To remove a single data point with known key, use removeData(double key).

See Also
  addData, clearData

void QCPBars::removeData | ( | double | key | ) |

This is an overloaded function.

Removes a single data point at key. If the position is not known with absolute precision, consider using removeData(double fromKey, double toKey) with a small fuzziness interval around the suspected position, depeding on the precision with which the key is known.

See Also
  addData, clearData

void QCPBars::clearData | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

Removes all data points.

Implements QCPAbstractPlottable.

double QCPBars::selectTest | ( | const QPointF & | pos,
|  | bool | onlySelectable,
|  | QVariant * | details = `0`
| ) |  | const
| virtual

This function is used to decide whether a click hits a layerable object or not.

pos is a point in pixel coordinates on the QCustomPlot surface. This function returns the shortest pixel distance of this point to the object. If the object is either invisible or the distance couldn't be determined, -1.0 is returned. Further, if onlySelectable is true and the object is not selectable, -1.0 is returned, too.

If the item is represented not by single lines but by an area like QCPItemRect or QCPItemText, a click inside the area returns a constant value greater zero (typically the selectionTolerance of the parent QCustomPlot multiplied by 0.99). If the click lies outside the area, this function returns -1.0.

Providing a constant value for area objects allows selecting line objects even when they are obscured by such area objects, by clicking close to the lines (i.e. closer than 0.99*selectionTolerance).

The actual setting of the selection state is not done by this function. This is handled by the parent QCustomPlot when the mouseReleaseEvent occurs, and the finally selected object is notified via the selectEvent/deselectEvent methods.

details is an optional output parameter. Every layerable subclass may place any information in details. This information will be passed to selectEvent when the parent QCustomPlot decides on the basis of this selectTest call, that the object was successfully selected. The subsequent call to selectEvent will carry the details. This is useful for multi-part objects (like QCPAxis). This way, a possibly complex calculation to decide which part was clicked is only done once in selectTest. The result (i.e. the actually clicked part) can then be placed in details. So in the subsequent selectEvent, the decision which part was selected doesn't have to be done a second time for a single selection operation.

You may pass 0 as details to indicate that you are not interested in those selection details.

Implements QCPAbstractPlottable.

void QCPBars::draw | ( | QCPPainter * | painter | ) |
| protected virtual

This function draws the layerable with the specified painter. It is only called by QCustomPlot, if the layerable is visible (setVisible).

Before this function is called, the painter's antialiasing state is set via applyDefaultAntialiasingHint, see the documentation there. Further, the clipping rectangle was set to clipRect.

Implements QCPAbstractPlottable.

void QCPBars::drawLegendIcon | ( | QCPPainter * | painter,
|  | const QRectF & | rect
| ) |  | const
| protected virtual

called by QCPLegend::draw (via QCPPlottableLegendItem::draw) to create a graphical representation of this plottable inside rect, next to the plottable name.

Implements QCPAbstractPlottable.

QCPRange QCPBars::getKeyRange | ( | bool & | foundRange,
|  | SignDomain | inSignDomain = `sdBoth`
| ) |  | const
| protected virtual

called by rescaleAxes functions to get the full data key bounds. For logarithmic plots, one can set inSignDomain to either sdNegative or sdPositive in order to restrict the returned range to that sign domain. E.g. when only negative range is wanted, set inSignDomain to sdNegative and all positive points will be ignored for range calculation. For no restriction, just set inSignDomain to sdBoth (default). foundRange is an output parameter that indicates whether a range could be found or not. If this is false, you shouldn't use the returned range (e.g. no points in data).

Note that foundRange is not the same as QCPRange::validRange, since the range returned by this function may have size zero, which wouldn't count as a valid range.

QCPRange QCPBars::getValueRange | ( | bool & | foundRange,
|  | SignDomain | inSignDomain = `sdBoth`
| ) |  | const
| protected virtual

called by rescaleAxes functions to get the full data value bounds. For logarithmic plots, one can set inSignDomain to either sdNegative or sdPositive in order to restrict the returned range to that sign domain. E.g. when only negative range is wanted, set inSignDomain to sdNegative and all positive points will be ignored for range calculation. For no restriction, just set inSignDomain to sdBoth (default). foundRange is an output parameter that indicates whether a range could be found or not. If this is false, you shouldn't use the returned range (e.g. no points in data).

Note that foundRange is not the same as QCPRange::validRange, since the range returned by this function may have size zero, which wouldn't count as a valid range.

Implements QCPAbstractPlottable.

QPolygonF QCPBars::getBarPolygon | ( | double | key,
|  | double | value
| ) |  | const
| protected

Returns the polygon of a single bar with key and value. The Polygon is open at the bottom and shifted according to the bar stacking (see moveAbove).

double QCPBars::getBaseValue | ( | double | key,
|  | bool | positive
| ) |  | const
| protected

This function is called to find at which value to start drawing the base of a bar at key, when it is stacked on top of another QCPBars (e.g. with moveAbove).

positive and negative bars are separated per stack (positive are stacked above 0-value upwards, negative are stacked below 0-value downwards). This can be indicated with positive. So if the bar for which we need the base value is negative, set positive to false.

void QCPBars::connectBars | ( | QCPBars * | lower,
|  | QCPBars * | upper
| ) |  |
| static protected

Connects below and above to each other via their mBarAbove/mBarBelow properties. The bar(s) currently below lower and upper will become disconnected to lower/upper.

If lower is zero, upper will be disconnected at the bottom. If upper is zero, lower will be disconnected at the top.
