About:
Qt Charts is a module from the Qt framework that provides a comprehensive set of easy-to-use interactive chart components. It enables developers to embed visually appealing 2D charts and graphs into applications, supporting various chart types like line, area, bar, and pie charts. The module offers extensive customization options and seamless integration with QML and C++.
Key Features:
  • Support for multiple chart types (line, spline, area, bar, scatter, pie)
  • Interactive capabilities including zooming, panning, and tooltips
  • Declarative QML API and C++ backend for flexible integration
  • Highly customizable axes, series, and visual elements
Use Cases:
  • Creating data visualization dashboards for business intelligence applications
  • Embedding real-time performance graphs in embedded systems or IoT interfaces
  • Developing scientific applications requiring data plotting and analysis
Alternatives:
  • QCustomPlot – A third-party widget focused on advanced plotting features, often considered more performant for large datasets but not part of the official Qt module.
  • Matplotlib (Python) – A plotting library for Python, ideal for data science but requires a different language ecosystem compared to native Qt C++/QML development.
