But some changes were inevitable in an effort to + make Qt a better framework. + + In this document we summarize those changes in Qt Charts. + + \section1 QtCharts Namespace + + Qt Charts no longer has a custom \c QtCharts namespace. Instead, the normal Qt + namespace is used if one is configured for the Qt build. + + \section1 OpenGL Acceleration in QML + + As the name implies, \l{AbstractSeries::useOpenGL}{AbstractSeries.useOpenGL} still only + supports OpenGL acceleration, so it won't work if QML RHI backend is defined as something + else, as it typically is by default in Qt 6. Force RHI OpenGL backend into use to fix this + issue by using the environment variable \c{QSG_RHI_BACKEND=opengl}, for example. +*/ |
