# KPlotObject Class Reference

`from PyKDE4.kdeui import *`

## Detailed Description

KPlotObject Encapsulates a data set to be plotted in a KPlotWidget.

Think of a KPlotObject as a set of data displayed as a group in the plot. Each KPlotObject consists of a list of KPlotPoints, a "type" controlling how the data points are displayed (some combination of Points, Lines, or Bars), a color, and a size. There is also a parameter which controls the shape of the points used to display the KPlotObject.

Note:
  KPlotObject will take care of the points added to it, so when clearing the points list (eg with clearPoints()) any previous reference to a KPlotPoint already added to a KPlotObject will be invalid.

## Method Documentation

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | QColor | color=Qt.white,
|  | KPlotObject.PlotType | otype=KPlotObject.Points,
|  | float | size=2,
|  | KPlotObject.PointStyle | ps=KPlotObject.Circle
| ) |  |  |

Constructor.

Parameters:

  | color | The color for plotting this object. By default this sets the color for Points, Lines and Bars, but there are functions to override any of these.
  | otype | the PlotType for this object (Points, Lines or Bars)
  | size | the size to use for plotted points, in pixels
  | ps | The PointStyle describing the shape for plotted points

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | KPlotObject | a0
| ) |  |  |

addPoint | ( | self, |
|  | QPointF | p,
|  | QString | label=QString(),
|  | float | barWidth=0.0
| ) |  |  |

Add a point to the object's list of points, using input data to construct a KPlotPoint.

Parameters:

  | x | the X-coordinate of the point to add.
  | y | the Y-coordinate of the point to add.
  | label | the optional text label
  | barWidth | the width of the bar, if this object is to be drawn with bars

Note:
  if
  barWidth is left at its default value of 0.0, then the width will be automatically set to the distance between this point and the one to its right.

addPoint | ( | self, |
|  | KPlotPoint | p
| ) |  |  |

Add a point to the object's list of points, using input data to construct a KPlotPoint.

Parameters:

  | x | the X-coordinate of the point to add.
  | y | the Y-coordinate of the point to add.
  | label | the optional text label
  | barWidth | the width of the bar, if this object is to be drawn with bars

Note:
  if
  barWidth is left at its default value of 0.0, then the width will be automatically set to the distance between this point and the one to its right.

addPoint | ( | self, |
|  | float | x,
|  | float | y,
|  | QString | label=QString(),
|  | float | barWidth=0.0
| ) |  |  |

Add a point to the object's list of points, using input data to construct a KPlotPoint.

Parameters:

  | x | the X-coordinate of the point to add.
  | y | the Y-coordinate of the point to add.
  | label | the optional text label
  | barWidth | the width of the bar, if this object is to be drawn with bars

Note:
  if
  barWidth is left at its default value of 0.0, then the width will be automatically set to the distance between this point and the one to its right.

## Enumeration Documentation

PlotType

The type classification of the KPlotObject.

These are bitmask values that can be OR'd together, so that a set of points can be represented in the plot in multiple ways.

Note:
  points should be added in order of increasing x-coordinate when using Bars.

Enumerator:

  UnknownType = 0 |
  Points = 1 |
  Lines = 2 |
  Bars = 4 |

PointStyle

The available shape styles for plotted points.

Enumerator:

  NoPoints = 0 |
  Circle = 1 |
  Letter = 2 |
  Triangle = 3 |
  Square = 4 |
  Pentagon = 5 |
  Hexagon = 6 |
  Asterisk = 7 |
  Star = 8 |
  UnknwonPoint |
