Class: Qgs2DXyPlot

Base class for 2-dimensional plot/chart/graphs with an X and Y axes.

The base class is responsible for rendering the axis, grid lines and chart area. Subclasses can implement the renderContent() method to render their actual plot content.

Warning

This class is not considered stable API, and may change in future!

Added in version 3.26.

Bases: Qgs2DPlot

__init__()

Constructor for Qgs2DXyPlot.

calculateOptimisedIntervals(self, context: QgsRenderContext, plotContext: QgsPlotRenderContext)

Automatically sets the grid and label intervals to optimal values for display in the given render context.

Intervals will be calculated in order to avoid overlapping axis labels and to ensure round values are shown.

Parameters:

• context (QgsRenderContext)

• plotContext (QgsPlotRenderContext)

chartBackgroundSymbol(self) → QgsFillSymbol | None

Returns the fill symbol used to render the background of the chart.

Return type:

Optional[QgsFillSymbol]

chartBorderSymbol(self) → QgsFillSymbol | None

Returns the symbol used to render the border of the chart.

See also

setChartBorderSymbol()

Return type:

Optional[QgsFillSymbol]

setChartBackgroundSymbol(self, symbol: QgsFillSymbol | None)

Sets the fill symbol used to render the background of the chart.

Ownership of symbol is transferred to the plot.

chartBackgroundSymbol()

Parameters:

symbol (Optional[QgsFillSymbol])

setChartBorderSymbol(self, symbol: QgsFillSymbol | None)

Sets the symbol used to render the border of the chart.

Ownership of symbol is transferred to the plot.
