    \section1 Creating Charts

    The charts of different types are generated and added to the layout separately. For example, the
    line chart is created as follows. The creation of other chart types is similar.

    First a chart is created.

    \snippet chartthemes/themewidget.cpp 1

    A common set of random data is generated and placed in a list. This list is used in each chart
    type to add data to the series of the chart. For the line series, QLineSeries instances are
    created and added to the chart.

    \snippet chartthemes/themewidget.cpp 2

    Default axes are created for the line series. We also specify ranges for the axes based on the
    range of the data used for the series.

    \snippet chartthemes/themewidget.cpp 3

    We also want to add more space between the labels and the y-axes. For this we specify a label
    format that adds space characters to the labels.

    \snippet chartthemes/themewidget.cpp 4

    Finally the line chart is added to the grid layout.

    \snippet chartthemes/themewidget.cpp 5

    \section1 Changing Theme

    The user can select a built-in theme to be used in the example. This theme is then applied to
    all charts in the layout.

    \snippet chartthemes/themewidget.cpp 6

    \snippet chartthemes/themewidget.cpp 7

    In order to give the result a more harmonious look, the background palette of the application is
    customized to match the selected theme. The QPalette::Window and QPalette::WindowText roles are
    set based on the selected theme.

    \snippet chartthemes/themewidget.cpp 8

    \section1 Changing Animation, Legend and Anti-Aliasing

    In this example, it is also possible to see how changing animation, legend and anti-aliasing
    affects the appearance of the chart.

    Based on the user's selection, the used animation type is set on each chart. It is possible to have
    no animations in the chart, or have animations for grid axis or series, or both.

    \snippet chartthemes/themewidget.cpp 9

    The chart can be shown with a legend. The legend can be aligned to different sides of the chart.

    \snippet chartthemes/themewidget.cpp 10

    The user can also see how changing anti-aliasing option changes the appearance of the chart.
    Anti-aliasing is updated based on the user's selection.

    \snippet chartthemes/themewidget.cpp 11
