+ \example scatterchart
+ \title ScatterChart Example
+ \ingroup qtcharts_examples
+
+ \brief The example shows how to create a simple scatter chart.
+
+ \image examples_scatterchart.png
+
+ To create scatter charts, a QScatterSeries instance is needed. Here we create a scatter series
+ instance, and set the type and width of outline for the scatter points.
+
+ \snippet scatterchart/chartview.cpp 1
+
+ We add the data to be shown. We can use the append() member function or use the stream operator.
+
+ \snippet scatterchart/chartview.cpp 2
+
+ We can define the brush of the scatter series to be an image. Here the image is a star created
+ using QPainterPath.
+
+ \snippet scatterchart/chartview.cpp 3
+
+ In the end we enable anti-aliasing, set the chart title, and add the scatter series onto the
+ chart. We also disable drop shadow, because it would not look good on an application with only
+ chart view shown.
+
+ \snippet scatterchart/chartview.cpp 4
+
+ The image used as a brush for the scatter series may contain several colors. Therefore we need
+ to set the desired color explicitly by setting the brush for the legend marker items.
+
+ \snippet scatterchart/chartview.cpp 5
+
+ The chart is ready to be shown.
+
+ \snippet scatterchart/main.cpp 4
