\title Creating Scatter Charts
\brief The example shows how to create a simple scatter chart.
\include gallery.qdocinc
\image examples_scatterchart.png {Screenshot of Scatter chart with three data series: blue
circles (scatter 1), green squares (scatter 2), and orange stars (scatter 3)}
To create scatter charts, a QScatterSeries instance is needed. Here we create a scatter series
instance, and set the type and width of outline for the scatter points.
\snippet chartsgallery/scatterwidget.cpp 1
We add the data to be shown. We can use the append() member function or use the stream operator.
\snippet chartsgallery/scatterwidget.cpp 2
We can define the brush of the scatter series to be an image. Here the image is a star created
using QPainterPath.
\snippet chartsgallery/scatterwidget.cpp 3
In the end we enable anti-aliasing, set the chart title, and add the scatter series onto the
chart. We also disable drop shadow, because it would not look good on an application with only
chart view shown.
\snippet chartsgallery/scatterwidget.cpp 4
We can also use the scatter points as legend markers.
\snippet chartsgallery/scatterwidget.cpp 5
The chart is ready to be shown.
