Notes

  • Tomi gave a short presentation with status update.
  • In Qt 6.6, Qt Graphs 3D API was a carbon-copy of Qt DataVisualization. For 6.7 there has been some API changes and performance improvements.
  • For one, moving from pointers-of-pointers API to modern C++ with move semantics.
  • Tomi presented video showing example application, Quick3D scene with QtGraphs3D, live data, reflections etc.
  • Discussion about how Python Qt projects have used Qt Charts. Should Qt Graphs do data filtering, or user filter the data before applying it into graphs APIs?
  • Can lower-level data be supported? Like have data just in an array, so no need to create extra (data) elements? What about usage of QAbstractItemModel automatically?
  • Discussion about different user needs for Charts (Easy simple graph with data in QML vs. big amount of data).
