Detailed Description

Manages a legend inside a QCustomPlot.

A legend is a small box somewhere in the plot which lists plottables with their name and icon.

A legend is populated with legend items by calling QCPAbstractPlottable::addToLegend on the plottable, for which a legend item shall be created. In the case of the main legend (QCustomPlot::legend), simply adding plottables to the plot while QCustomPlot::setAutoAddPlottableToLegend is set to true (the default) creates corresponding legend items. The legend item associated with a certain plottable can be removed with QCPAbstractPlottable::removeFromLegend. However, QCPLegend also offers an interface to add and manipulate legend items directly: item, itemWithPlottable, itemCount, addItem, removeItem, etc.

Since QCPLegend derives from QCPLayoutGrid, it can be placed in any position a QCPLayoutElement may be positioned. The legend items are themselves QCPLayoutElements which are placed in the grid layout of the legend. QCPLegend only adds an interface specialized for handling child elements of type QCPAbstractLegendItem, as mentioned above. In principle, any other layout elements may also be added to a legend via the normal QCPLayoutGrid interface. See the special page about The Layout System for examples on how to add other elements to the legend and move it outside the axis rect.

Use the methods setFillOrder and setWrap inherited from QCPLayoutGrid to control in which order (column first or row first) the legend is filled up when calling addItem, and at which column or row wrapping occurs. The default fill order for legends is foRowsFirst.

By default, every QCustomPlot has one legend (QCustomPlot::legend) which is placed in the inset layout of the main axis rect (QCPAxisRect::insetLayout). To move the legend to another position inside the axis rect, use the methods of the QCPLayoutInset. To move the legend outside of the axis rect, place it anywhere else with the QCPLayout/QCPLayoutElement interface.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QCPLegend::SelectablePart

Defines the selectable parts of a legend

See also: setSelectedParts, setSelectableParts

Enumerator
spNone	`0x000` None
spLegendBox	`0x001` The legend box (frame)
spItems	`0x002` Legend items individually (see selectedItems)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QCPLegend::QCPLegend ( )

explicit

Constructs a new QCPLegend instance with default values.

Note that by default, QCustomPlot already contains a legend ready to be used as QCustomPlot::legend

Member Function Documentation

bool QCPLegend::addItem ( QCPAbstractLegendItem * item )

Adds item to the legend, if it's not present already. The element is arranged according to the current fill order (setFillOrder) and wrapping (setWrap).

Returns true on sucess, i.e. if the item wasn't in the list already and has been successfuly added.

The legend takes ownership of the item.

See also: removeItem, item, hasItem

void QCPLegend::clearItems ( )

Removes all items from the legend.

bool QCPLegend::hasItem ( QCPAbstractLegendItem * item ) const

Returns whether the legend contains item.

See also: hasItemWithPlottable

bool QCPLegend::hasItemWithPlottable ( const QCPAbstractPlottable * plottable ) const

Returns whether the legend contains a QCPPlottableLegendItem which is associated with plottable (e.g. a QCPGraph*). If such an item isn't in the legend, returns false.

See also: itemWithPlottable

QCPAbstractLegendItem * QCPLegend::item ( int index ) const

Returns the item with index i.

Note that the linear index depends on the current fill order (setFillOrder).

See also: itemCount, addItem, itemWithPlottable

int QCPLegend::itemCount ( ) const

Returns the number of items currently in the legend.

Note that if empty cells are in the legend (e.g. by calling methods of the QCPLayoutGrid base class which allows creating empty cells), they are included in the returned count.

See also: item

QCPPlottableLegendItem * QCPLegend::itemWithPlottable ( const QCPAbstractPlottable * plottable ) const

Returns the QCPPlottableLegendItem which is associated with plottable (e.g. a QCPGraph*). If such an item isn't in the legend, returns 0.

See also: hasItemWithPlottable

bool QCPLegend::removeItem ( int index )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Removes the item with the specified index from the legend and deletes it.

After successful removal, the legend is reordered according to the current fill order (setFillOrder) and wrapping (setWrap), so no empty cell remains where the removed item was. If you don't want this, rather use the raw element interface of QCPLayoutGrid.

Returns true, if successful. Unlike QCPLayoutGrid::removeAt, this method only removes elements derived from QCPAbstractLegendItem.

See also: itemCount, clearItems

bool QCPLegend::removeItem ( QCPAbstractLegendItem * item )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Removes item from the legend and deletes it.

After successful removal, the legend is reordered according to the current fill order (setFillOrder) and wrapping (setWrap), so no empty cell remains where the removed item was. If you don't want this, rather use the raw element interface of QCPLayoutGrid.

Returns true, if successful.

See also: clearItems

QList< QCPAbstractLegendItem * > QCPLegend::selectedItems ( ) const

Returns the legend items that are currently selected. If no items are selected, the list is empty.

See also: QCPAbstractLegendItem::setSelected, setSelectable

void QCPLegend::selectionChanged ( QCPLegend::SelectableParts selection )

signal

This signal is emitted when the selection state of this legend has changed.

See also: setSelectedParts, setSelectableParts

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

virtual

Layout elements are sensitive to events inside their outer rect. If pos is within the outer rect, this method returns a value corresponding to 0.99 times the parent plot's selection tolerance. However, layout elements are not selectable by default. So if onlySelectable is true, -1.0 is returned.

See QCPLayerable::selectTest for a general explanation of this virtual method.

QCPLayoutElement subclasses may reimplement this method to provide more specific selection test behaviour.

Reimplemented from QCPLayoutElement.

void QCPLegend::setBorderPen ( const QPen & pen )

Sets the pen, the border of the entire legend is drawn with.

void QCPLegend::setBrush ( const QBrush & brush )

Sets the brush of the legend background.

void QCPLegend::setFont ( const QFont & font )

Sets the default font of legend text. Legend items that draw text (e.g. the name of a graph) will use this font by default. However, a different font can be specified on a per-item-basis by accessing the specific legend item.

This function will also set font on all already existing legend items.

See also: QCPAbstractLegendItem::setFont

void QCPLegend::setIconBorderPen ( const QPen & pen )

Sets the pen used to draw a border around each legend icon. Legend items that draw an icon (e.g. a visual representation of the graph) will use this pen by default.

If no border is wanted, set this to Qt::NoPen.

void QCPLegend::setIconSize ( const QSize & size )

Sets the size of legend icons. Legend items that draw an icon (e.g. a visual representation of the graph) will use this size by default.

void QCPLegend::setIconSize	(	int	width,
		int	height
	)

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

void QCPLegend::setIconTextPadding ( int padding )

Sets the horizontal space in pixels between the legend icon and the text next to it. Legend items that draw an icon (e.g. a visual representation of the graph) and text (e.g. the name of the graph) will use this space by default.

void QCPLegend::setSelectableParts ( const SelectableParts & selectable )

Sets whether the user can (de-)select the parts in selectable by clicking on the QCustomPlot surface. (When QCustomPlot::setInteractions contains QCP::iSelectLegend.)

However, even when selectable is set to a value not allowing the selection of a specific part, it is still possible to set the selection of this part manually, by calling setSelectedParts directly.

See also: SelectablePart, setSelectedParts

void QCPLegend::setSelectedBorderPen ( const QPen & pen )

When the legend box is selected, this pen is used to draw the border instead of the normal pen set via setBorderPen.

See also: setSelectedParts, setSelectableParts, setSelectedBrush

void QCPLegend::setSelectedBrush ( const QBrush & brush )

When the legend box is selected, this brush is used to draw the legend background instead of the normal brush set via setBrush.

See also: setSelectedParts, setSelectableParts, setSelectedBorderPen

void QCPLegend::setSelectedFont ( const QFont & font )

Sets the default font that is used by legend items when they are selected.

This function will also set font on all already existing legend items.

See also: setFont, QCPAbstractLegendItem::setSelectedFont

void QCPLegend::setSelectedIconBorderPen ( const QPen & pen )

Sets the pen legend items will use to draw their icon borders, when they are selected.

See also: setSelectedParts, setSelectableParts, setSelectedFont

void QCPLegend::setSelectedParts ( const SelectableParts & selected )

Sets the selected state of the respective legend parts described by SelectablePart. When a part is selected, it uses a different pen/font and brush. If some legend items are selected and selected doesn't contain spItems, those items become deselected.

The entire selection mechanism is handled automatically when QCustomPlot::setInteractions contains iSelectLegend. You only need to call this function when you wish to change the selection state manually.

This function can change the selection state of a part even when setSelectableParts was set to a value that actually excludes the part.

emits the selectionChanged signal when selected is different from the previous selection state.

Note that it doesn't make sense to set the selected state spItems here when it wasn't set before, because there's no way to specify which exact items to newly select. Do this by calling QCPAbstractLegendItem::setSelected directly on the legend item you wish to select.

See also: SelectablePart, setSelectableParts, selectTest, setSelectedBorderPen, setSelectedIconBorderPen, setSelectedBrush, setSelectedFont

void QCPLegend::setSelectedTextColor ( const QColor & color )

Sets the default text color that is used by legend items when they are selected.

This function will also set color on all already existing legend items.

See also: setTextColor, QCPAbstractLegendItem::setSelectedTextColor

void QCPLegend::setTextColor ( const QColor & color )

Sets the default color of legend text. Legend items that draw text (e.g. the name of a graph) will use this color by default. However, a different colors can be specified on a per-item-basis by accessing the specific legend item.

This function will also set color on all already existing legend items.
