Detailed Description
QItemModelBarDataProxy allows you to use QAbstractItemModel derived models as a data source for Q3DBars. It uses the defined mappings to map data from the model to rows, columns, and values of Q3DBars graph.
The data is resolved asynchronously whenever mappings or the model changes. QBarDataProxy::arrayReset() is emitted when the data has been resolved. However, when useModelCategories property is set to true, single item changes are resolved synchronously, unless the same frame also contains a change that causes the whole model to be resolved.
Mappings can be used in the following ways:
- If useModelCategories property is set to true, this proxy will map rows and columns of QAbstractItemModel directly to rows and columns of Q3DBars, and uses the value returned for Qt::DisplayRole as bar value by default. The value role to be used can be redefined if Qt::DisplayRole is not suitable.
- For models that do not have data already neatly sorted into rows and columns, such as QAbstractListModel based models, you can define a role from the model to map for each of row, column and value.
- If you do not want to include all data contained in the model, or the autogenerated rows and columns are not ordered as you wish, you can specify which rows and columns should be included and in which order by defining an explicit list of categories for either or both of rows and columns.
For example, assume that you have a custom QAbstractItemModel for storing various monthly values related to a business. Each item in the model has the roles "year", "month", "income", and "expenses". You could do the following to display the data in a bar graph:
// By defining row and column categories, you tell the mapping which row and column each item // belongs to. The categories must match the data stored in the model in the roles you define // for row and column mapping. In this example we expect "year" role to return four digit year // and "month" to return three letter designation for the month. // // An example of an item in model would be: // Requested role -> Returned data // "year" -> "2006" // Matches the first row category, so this item is added to the first row. // "month" -> "jan" // Matches the first column category, so this item is added as first item in the row. // "income" -> "12.1" // "expenses" -> "9.2" QStringList years; QStringList months; years << "2006" << "2007" << "2008" << "2009" << "2010" << "2011" << "2012"; months << "jan" << "feb" << "mar" << "apr" << "may" << "jun" << "jul" << "aug" << "sep" << "oct" << "nov" << "dec"; QItemModelBarDataProxy *proxy = new QItemModelBarDataProxy(customModel, QStringLiteral("year"), // Row role QStringLiteral("month"), // Column role QStringLiteral("income"), // Value role years, // Row categories months); // Column categories //... // To display different data later, you can simply change the mapping. proxy->setValueRole(QStringLiteral("expenses"));
If the fields of the model do not contain the data in the exact format you need, you can specify a search pattern regular expression and a replace rule for each role to get the value in a format you need. For more information how the replace using regular expressions works, see QString::replace(const QRegExp &rx, const QString &after) function documentation. Note that using regular expressions has an impact on the performance, so it's more efficient to utilize item models where doing search and replace is not necessary to get the desired values.
For example about using the search patterns in conjunction with the roles, see Qt Quick 2 Bars Example.

Property Documentation
autoColumnCategories : bool
This property holds whether column categories are generated automatically.
When set to true
, the mapping ignores any explicitly set column categories and overwrites them with automatically generated ones whenever the data from model is resolved. Defaults to true
.

bool | autoColumnCategories() const |
void | setAutoColumnCategories(bool enable) |
Notifier signal:
void | autoColumnCategoriesChanged(bool enable) |
autoRowCategories : bool
This property holds whether row categories are generated automatically.
When set to true
, the mapping ignores any explicitly set row categories and overwrites them with automatically generated ones whenever the data from model is resolved. Defaults to true
.

bool | autoRowCategories() const |
void | setAutoRowCategories(bool enable) |
Notifier signal:

This property specifies the regular expression to find the portion of the mapped value to replace and columnRoleReplace property contains the replacement string. This is useful for example in parsing row and column categories from a single timestamp field in the item model.
Access functions:
QRegExp | columnRolePattern() const |
void | setColumnRolePattern(const QRegExp &pattern) |
Notifier signal:
void | columnRolePatternChanged(const QRegExp &pattern) |
See also columnRole and columnRoleReplace.

multiMatchBehavior : MultiMatchBehavior
How multiple matches for each row/column combination are handled.

For example, you might have an item model with timestamped data taken at irregular intervals and you want to visualize total value of data items on each day with a bar graph. This can be done by specifying row and column categories so that each bar represents a day, and setting multiMatchBehavior to QItemModelBarDataProxy::MMBCumulative.
