- \title Surface Example
- \ingroup qtdatavisualization_examples
- \brief Using Q3DSurface in a widget application.
-
- The surface example shows how to make a simple 3D surface graph using Q3DSurface and
- combining the use of widgets for adjusting several adjustable qualities. This example
- demonstrates the following features:
-
- \list
- \li How to set up a basic QSurfaceDataProxy and set data for it.
- \li How to use QHeightMapSurfaceDataProxy for showing 3D height maps.
- \li Three different selection modes for studying the graph.
- \li Axis range usage for displaying selected portions of the graph.
- \li Changing theme.
- \li How to set a custom surface gradient.
- \endlist
-
- For instructions about how to interact with the graph, see \l{Qt Data Visualization Interacting with Data}{this page}.

-
- \section1 Creating the Application
-
- First, in \c main.cpp, we create a QApplication, instantiate Q3DSurface, and a window container
- for it:
-
- \snippet surface/main.cpp 0
-
- The call to QWidget::createWindowContainer is required, as all data visualization graph classes
- (Q3DBars, Q3DScatter, and Q3DSurface) inherit QWindow. Any class inheriting QWindow cannot be used
- as a widget any other way.
-
- Then we'll create horizontal and vertical layouts. We'll add the graph with the container and
- the vertical layout into the horizontal one:
-
- \snippet surface/main.cpp 1
-
- The rest of the code in \c main.cpp is creating control widgets for features in Q3DSurface. We
- have separated code for changing these features into \c surfacegraph.cpp and only connect
- signals from widgets into methods in \c surfacegraph.cpp. Next chapter explains more
- about using Q3DSurface.
-
- \section1 Setting up Proxies and Data
-
- First we instantiate a new QSurfaceDataProxy and attach it to a new QSurface3DSeries:
-
- \snippet surface/surfacegraph.cpp 0
-
- Then we fill the proxy with a simple square root and sine wave data. This is done by
- creating a new \c QSurfaceDataArray instance and adding \c QSurfaceDataRow elements to it.
- The created \c QSurfaceDataArray is set to be the data array for the QSurfaceDataProxy.
-
- \snippet surface/surfacegraph.cpp 1
-
- The height map is created by instantiating a QHeightMapSurfaceDataProxy with
- a QImage containing the height data. The method QHeightMapSurfaceDataProxy::setValueRanges() is
- used to define the value range of the map. In our example the map is from imaginary position of
- 34.0\unicode 0x00B0 N - 40.0\unicode 0x00B0 N and 18.0\unicode 0x00B0 E - 24.0\unicode 0x00B0 E.
- These values are used to show and position the map to the axis.
-
- \snippet surface/surfacegraph.cpp 2
-
- For demonstrating different proxies this example has two radio buttons which
- the user can use to switch between the series. When the user selects the
- \c {Sqrt & Sin} radio button, the selected series is activated with the following
- code. First we set the decorative issues like enable the grid for the surface and
- select the flat shading mode. Next lines define the axis label format and value
- ranges. Automatic label rotation is set to improve label readability at low camera angles.
- Finally we make sure the correct series is added to the graph:
-
- \snippet surface/surfacegraph.cpp 3
-
- When the \c{Height Map} radio button is activated, the following code sets the correct series active.
- The axis label format is set to show N and E letters and ranges are set to the imaginary coordinates.
- Auto adjusting Y-axis range is fine for our height map surface, so we ensure it is set.
-
- \snippet surface/surfacegraph.cpp 4
-
- \section1 Selection Modes
-
- Q3Dsurface supports three different selection modes. These are demonstrated in the
- example with radio buttons, which the user can use to activate a suitable selection mode.
- The following inline methods are connected to radio buttons to activate the selected mode.
-
- \snippet surface/surfacegraph.h 0
-
- \section1 Axis Ranges for Studying the Graph
-
- The example has four slider controls for adjusting the min and max values for X and Z
- axis. When selecting the proxy these sliders are adjusted so that one step on the slider
- moves the range by one segment step:
-
- \snippet surface/surfacegraph.cpp 8
-
- The ranges are set for the axes like this:
-
- \snippet surface/surfacegraph.cpp 5
-
- \section1 Themes
-
- Q3DSurface supports all the themes Qt Data Visualization has. The example has a pull
- down menu for selecting the theme. The following method is connected to the
- menu to activate the selected theme. The theme type is changed to another predefined theme,
- which overwrites all theme properties to predefined values:
-
- \snippet surface/surfacegraph.cpp 6
-
- \section1 Custom Surface Gradients
-
- The example demonstrates the custom surface gradients with two push buttons. The gradient
- can be defined with QLinearGradient where the desired colors are set to positions. The following
- code shows how to create an example gradient and set it to the series. Note that you also need
- to change the color style to Q3DTheme::ColorStyleRangeGradient to actually use the gradient.
