Using Axes in Qt Quick Applications

We begin with a chart that has a line series and a scatter series with random data. Both series use the same axes.

 ChartView {
     title: "Two Series, Common Axes"
     anchors.fill: parent
     legend.visible: false
     antialiasing: true

     ValueAxis {
         id: axisX
         min: 0
         max: 10
         tickCount: 5
     }

     ValueAxis {
         id: axisY
         min: -0.5
         max: 1.5
     }

     LineSeries {
         id: series1
         axisX: axisX
         axisY: axisY
     }

     ScatterSeries {
         id: series2
         axisX: axisX
         axisY: axisY
     }
 }

 // Add data dynamically to the series
 Component.onCompleted: {
     for (var i = 0; i <= 10; i++) {
         series1.append(i, Math.random());
         series2.append(i, Math.random());
     }
 }

The next example shows a chart with some accurate historical data that makes us to use a DateTimeAxis.

 ChartView {
     title: "Accurate Historical Data"
     anchors.fill: parent
     legend.visible: false
     antialiasing: true

     LineSeries {
         axisX: DateTimeAxis {
             format: "yyyy MMM"
             tickCount: 5
         }
         axisY: ValueAxis {
             min: 0
             max: 150
         }

         // Please note that month in JavaScript months are zero based, so 2 means March
         XYPoint { x: toMsecsSinceEpoch(new Date(1950, 2, 15)); y: 5 }
         XYPoint { x: toMsecsSinceEpoch(new Date(1970, 0, 1)); y: 50 }
         XYPoint { x: toMsecsSinceEpoch(new Date(1987, 12, 31)); y: 102 }
         XYPoint { x: toMsecsSinceEpoch(new Date(1998, 7, 1)); y: 100 }
         XYPoint { x: toMsecsSinceEpoch(new Date(2012, 8, 2)); y: 110 }
     }
 }

 // DateTimeAxis is based on QDateTimes so we must convert our JavaScript dates to
 // milliseconds since epoch to make them match the DateTimeAxis values
 function toMsecsSinceEpoch(date) {
     var msecs = date.getTime();
     return msecs;
 }

And the final example with a chart that uses a CategoryAxis to make the data easier to understand.

 ChartView {
     title: "Numerical Data for Dummies"
     anchors.fill: parent
     legend.visible: false
     antialiasing: true

     LineSeries {
         axisY: CategoryAxis {
             min: 0
             max: 30
             CategoryRange {
                 label: "critical"
                 endValue: 2
             }
             CategoryRange {
                 label: "low"
                 endValue: 4
             }
             CategoryRange {
                 label: "normal"
                 endValue: 7
             }
             CategoryRange {
                 label: "high"
                 endValue: 15
             }
             CategoryRange {
                 label: "extremely high"
                 endValue: 30
             }
         }

         XYPoint { x: 0; y: 4.3 }
         XYPoint { x: 1; y: 4.1 }
         XYPoint { x: 2; y: 4.7 }
         XYPoint { x: 3; y: 3.9 }
         XYPoint { x: 4; y: 5.2 }
     }
 }
