## Detailed Description

This class subclasses a QWindow and provides render loop for graphs inheriting it.

You should not need to use this class directly, but one of its subclasses instead.

Multisampling is turned off by default in `QSurfaceFormat`. To enable multisampling, set a custom surface format as a default surface format. To get the custom surface format, use QQuick3D::idealSurfaceFormat().

See also Q3DBarsWidgetItem, Q3DScatterWidgetItem, Q3DSurfaceWidgetItem, and Qt Graphs C++ Classes for 3D.

## Property Documentation

### activeTheme : QGraphsTheme*

This property holds the active theme of the graph.

Sets activeTheme as the active theme to be used for the graph. Implicitly calls addTheme() to transfer the ownership of the theme to this graph.

If activeTheme is null, a temporary default theme is created. This temporary theme is destroyed if any theme is explicitly set later. Properties of the theme can be modified even after setting it, and the modifications take effect immediately.

Access functions:

QGraphsTheme * | activeTheme() const
void | setActiveTheme(QGraphsTheme *activeTheme)

Notifier signal:

void | activeThemeChanged(QGraphsTheme *activeTheme)

### ambientLightStrength : float

This property holds the ambient light strength for the whole graph.

This value determines how evenly and brightly the colors are shown throughout the graph regardless of the light position.

The value must be between `0.0f` and `1.0f`.

Access functions:

float | ambientLightStrength() const
void | setAmbientLightStrength(float newAmbientLightStrength)

Notifier signal:

void | ambientLightStrengthChanged()

### aspectRatio : qreal

See also horizontalAspectRatio.

### cameraPreset : QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset

The preset camera position that the camera is currently using. The value can be set to one of the CameraPreset enum values. This property can be used to set a predefined camera angle from where the graph is viewed.

By default, the camera preset is set to `CameraPreset::FrontLow`.

Note: If you have set the cameraXRotation, cameraYRotation or cameraZoomLevel properties, or called setCustomCamera(), this property will return CameraPreset::NoPreset until either setCameraPreset() is called again, or the preset is changed to another value.

Access functions:

QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset | cameraPreset() const
void | setCameraPreset(QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset preset)

Notifier signal:

void | cameraPresetChanged(QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset preset)

### cameraTargetPosition : QVector3D

Access functions:

float | cameraZoomLevel() const
void | setCameraZoomLevel(float level)

Notifier signal:

void | cameraZoomLevelChanged(float zoomLevel)

See also minCameraZoomLevel and maxCameraZoomLevel.

### `[read-only]` currentFps : int

This property holds the rendering results for the last second.

The results are stored in this read-only property when FPS measuring is enabled. It takes at least a second before this value is updated after measuring is activated.

Access functions:

int | currentFps() const

Notifier signal:

void | currentFpsChanged(int fps)

See also measureFps.

### `[since 6.11]` cutoffMargin : qreal

Notifier signal:

void | gridLineTypeChanged()

See also QtGraphs3D::GridLineType.

### horizontalAspectRatio : qreal

This property holds the ratio of the graph scaling between the x-axis and z-axis.

The value of `0.0` indicates automatic scaling according to axis ranges. Defaults to `0.0`.

Has no effect on Q3DBarsWidgetItem, which handles scaling on the horizontal plane via the barThickness and barSpacing properties. Polar graphs also ignore this property.

Access functions:

qreal | horizontalAspectRatio() const
void | setHorizontalAspectRatio(qreal ratio)

Notifier signal:

void | horizontalAspectRatioChanged(qreal ratio)

See also aspectRatio, polar, Q3DBarsWidgetItem::barThickness, and Q3DBarsWidgetItem::barSpacing.

### labelMargin : float

Negative values place the labels inside the plot-area while positive values place them outside the plot-area. Label automatic rotation is disabled when the value is negative. Defaults to `0.1`

Access functions:

float | labelMargin() const
void | setLabelMargin(float margin)

Notifier signal:

See also QValue3DAxis::labelFormat.

### margin : qreal

This property holds the absolute value used for the space left between the edge of the plottable graph area and the edge of the graph background.

If the margin value is negative, the margins are determined automatically and can vary according to the size of the items in the series and the type of the graph. The value is interpreted as a fraction of the y-axis range if the graph aspect ratios have not been changed from the default values. Defaults to `-1.0`.

Note: Setting a smaller margin for a scatter graph than the automatically determined margin can cause the scatter items at the edges of the graph to overlap with the graph background.

Note: On scatter and surface graphs, if the margin is small in comparison to the axis label size, the positions of the edge labels of the axes are adjusted to avoid overlap with the edge labels of the neighboring axes.

Access functions:

qreal | margin() const

Access functions:

int | msaaSamples() const
void | setMsaaSamples(int samples)

Notifier signal:

void | msaaSamplesChanged(int samples)

### optimizationHint : QtGraphs3D::OptimizationHint

Specifies whether the default or legacy mode is used for rendering optimization.

The default mode uses instanced rendering, and provides the full feature set at the best level of performance on most systems. The static mode optimizes graph rendering and is ideal for large non-changing data sets. It is slower with dynamic data changes and item rotations. Selection is not optimized, so using the static mode with massive data sets is not advisable. Static optimization works only on scatter graphs. Legacy mode renders all items in th graph individually, without instancing. It should be used only if default mode does not work, i.e. if the target system does not support instancing. Defaults to QtGraphs3D::OptimizationHint::Default.

Note: On some environments, large graphs using static optimization may not render, because all of the items are rendered using a single draw call, and different graphics drivers support different maximum vertice counts per call. This is mostly an issue on 32bit and OpenGL ES2 platforms. To work around this issue, choose an item mesh with a low vertex count or use the point mesh.

Access functions:

QtGraphs3D::OptimizationHint | optimizationHint() const
void | setOptimizationHint(QtGraphs3D::OptimizationHint hint)

Notifier signal:

void | optimizationHintChanged(QtGraphs3D::OptimizationHint hint)

See also QAbstract3DSeries::mesh.

bool | isOrthoProjection() const
void | setOrthoProjection(bool enable)

Notifier signal:

void | orthoProjectionChanged(bool enabled)

See also QAbstract3DAxis::labelAutoAngle.

### polar : bool

This property holds whether horizontal axes are changed into polar axes.

If `true`, the x-axis becomes the angular axis and the z-axis becomes the radial axis. Polar mode is not available for bar graphs.

Defaults to `false`.

Access functions:

bool | isPolar() const
void | setPolar(bool enable)

Notifier signal:

void | polarChanged(bool enabled)

See also orthoProjection and radialLabelOffset.

### `[read-only]` queriedGraphPosition : QVector3D

This property holds the latest queried graph position values along each axis.

This read-only property contains the results from Q3DScene::graphPositionQuery. The values are normalized to the range `[-1, 1]`. If the queried position was outside the graph bounds, the values will not reflect the real position, but will instead indicate an undefined position outside the range `[-1, 1]`. The value will be undefined until a query is made.

There is no single correct 3D coordinate to match a particular screen position, so to be consistent, the queries are always done against the inner sides of an invisible box surrounding the graph.

Note: Bar graphs only allow querying graph position at the graph floor level, so the y-value is always zero for bar graphs and the valid queries can be only made at screen positions that contain the floor of the graph.

Access functions:

QVector3D | queriedGraphPosition() const

Notifier signal:

void | queriedGraphPositionChanged(QVector3D data)

See also Q3DScene::graphPositionQuery.

### radialLabelOffset : float

This property holds the normalized horizontal offset for the axis labels of the radial polar axis.

The value `0.0` indicates that the labels should be drawn next to the 0-angle angular axis grid line. The value `1.0` indicates that the labels are drawn in their usual place at the edge of the graph background. Defaults to `1.0`.

This property is ignored if the polar property value is `false`.

Access functions:

float | radialLabelOffset() const
void | setRadialLabelOffset(float offset)

Notifier signal:

void | radialLabelOffsetChanged(float offset)

See also polar.

### rotationEnabled : bool

This property is read-only.

Access functions:

Q3DScene * | scene() const

### `[read-only]` selectedElement : QtGraphs3D::ElementType

This property holds the element selected in the graph.

This property can be used to query the selected element type. The type is valid until a new selection is made in the graph and the `selectedElementChanged` signal is emitted.

The signal can be used for example for implementing custom input handlers, as demonstrated in the Graph Gallery example under Scatter Graph tab.

Access functions:

QtGraphs3D::ElementType | selectedElement() const

Notifier signal:

void | selectedElementChanged(QtGraphs3D::ElementType type)

### shadowQuality : QtGraphs3D::ShadowQuality

This property holds the quality of the shadow.

One of the ShadowQuality enum values. By default, `Medium`.

Note: If setting the shadow quality to a certain level fails, the level is lowered until it is successfully set. The `shadowQualityChanged` signal is emitted each time a change is made.

Access functions:

QtGraphs3D::ShadowQuality | shadowQuality() const
void | setShadowQuality(const QtGraphs3D::ShadowQuality &shadowQuality)

Notifier signal:

void | shadowQualityChanged(QtGraphs3D::ShadowQuality quality)

See also QtGraphs3D::ShadowQuality.

### shadowStrength : float

This property holds the shadow strength for the whole graph.

This value affects the light specified in Q3DScene.

Access functions:

float | shadowStrength() const
void | setShadowStrength(float newShadowStrength)

Notifier signal:

void | shadowStrengthChanged()

### `[since 6.9]` transparencyTechnique : QtGraphs3D::TransparencyTechnique

Specifies which transparency technique to use. The Default value is `Default`. When rendering transparent surface graphs, use `Approximate` or `Accurate`. `Default` should be used for other graph types.

Constant | Description
--- | ---
`Default` | Indicates that order-independent transparency techniques are not used. Offers the best performance. Use when graphs don't contain transparency or when a bar or scatter graph is also using instancing, that is optimizationHint is {QtGraphs3D::OptimizationHint::Default}.
`Approximate` | Indicates that a graph attempts an approximation of order-independent transparency. This method is faster than `Accurate` and works on older hardware but may yield inaccurate results. Use when the order-independent transparency is needed, but the performance cost has to be lower than when using accurate order-independent transparency.
`Accurate` | Indicates that accurate order-independent transparency is used. Use when perfect transparency rendering is needed.

This enumeration was introduced in Qt 6.9.

Access functions:

QtGraphs3D::TransparencyTechnique | transparencyTechnique() const
