+ \title LineChart Example
+ \ingroup qtcharts_examples
+
+ \brief The example shows how to create a simple line chart.
+
+ \image examples_linechart.png
+
+ To create a line chart, a QLineSeries instance is needed. Let's create one.
+
+ \snippet linechart/main.cpp 1
+
+ Then we add data to the series. We can use the append() member function or use the stream operator.
+
+ \snippet linechart/main.cpp 2
+
+ To present the data on the chart we need a QChart instance. We add the series to it, create the default axes, and set the title of the chart.
+
+ \snippet linechart/main.cpp 3
+
+ Then we create a QChartView object with QChart as a parameter. This way we don't need to create a QGraphicsView scene ourselves. We also set the Antialiasing on to have the rendered lines look nicer.
+
+ \snippet linechart/main.cpp 4
+
+ The chart is ready to be shown.
+
+ \snippet linechart/main.cpp 5
