## Detailed Description

Use QCustomSeries to create customized graphs. Think of it as a scatter graph that lets you access custom data for each element.

QCustomSeries defines a delegate that is used to render every item added to the graph. Each item includes user-defined data stored in a QVariantMap. Index of the item in the graph is also automatically added to the data map. The series passes this map to each element created based on the delegate. The delegate determines how to use the data.

To map data to the render coordinates defined by the `QGraphsView` axes, use the mapX and mapY functions.

Note: Currently, individual elements in a custom series do not share information with one another. For this reason, you can't implement a custom line series.

## Property Documentation

### delegate : QQmlComponent*

The delegate is used to insert elements to QML corresponding to provided custom data. Data is defined in the CustomSeries itself and given to the delegated elements through the "data" property.

Access functions:

QQmlComponent * | delegate() const
void | setDelegate(QQmlComponent *newDelegate)

Notifier signal:

void | delegateChanged()

## Member Function Documentation

### `[invokable]` void QCustomSeries::append()

Appends an empty data item to the series.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

### `[invokable]` void QCustomSeries::append(const QVariantMap &data)

Appends a data item defined by data to the series.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

### `[slot]` void QCustomSeries::clear()

Clear all data items.

### `[invokable]` void QCustomSeries::insert(qsizetype index)

Appends an empty data item to the series at position index.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

### `[invokable]` void QCustomSeries::insert(qsizetype index, const QVariantMap &data)

Appends a data item defined by data to the series at position index.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

### `[invokable]` qreal QCustomSeries::mapX(qreal x)

Returns x axis-space coordinate converted into render-space.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

### `[invokable]` qreal QCustomSeries::mapY(qreal y)

Returns y axis-space coordinate converted into render-space.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

### `[invokable]` void QCustomSeries::remove(qsizetype index)

Remove a data item at position index.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

### `[virtual protected]` void QCustomSeries::updateDelegate(QQuickItem *item, qsizetype index)

Called by the graph renderer to give access to the item representing the data, and the index corresponding to the data item.

Override to implement custom property values for QQuickItem instance(s).
