+ \title Changes to Qt Charts
+ \ingroup changes-qt-5-to-6
+ \brief Migrate Qt Charts to Qt 6.
+
+ Qt 6 is a result of the conscious effort to make the framework more
+ efficient and easy to use.
+
+ We try to maintain binary and source compatibility for all the public
+ APIs in each release. 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.
