qgraphicstextitem over QChartview
-
Hello, I'm trying to add some labels to a qchart to go along with the qscatterseries in order to add labels to the points. I set the labels position in "label.setPos(g[pos], s[pos])" and then try to get the scene from qchartsview and add the label. for some reason all the labels end up at the top left corner. I've done a bit of googling and can't get it to work. Thanks in advance for any help!

I think you are setting the labels x and y coordinates too small, g[pos],s[pos] are very small values thats why they all seem to be concentrated near the origin. try to scale your values by setting
label.setPos(g[pos]*500, s[pos]*500)Also try editing this to see default labels:
''' chart - add series''' series_lifetime_markers.setPointLabelsVisible(True) self.chart.addSeries(series_lifetime_markers)then you will get what I mean.

@erudite-monkey thanks for taking a look at this. I did come across that post while trying to find an answer. If nothing else works then i'll subclass qchartview and try reimplementing the drawSeriesPointLabels function, but it seems like one of the "mapTo" functions should take care of it, I just can't figure out which one. It looks like the qgraphicstextitem and the qchart are on separate coordinate systems.I did multiply by 500 the g and s values and I can see that it does stretch the values but changing window size resizes the qchart but not the labels, and unfortunately I can't seem to find a way to map label to the qchart coordinates. If using the same coordinate system, the labels should fall right on top of the blue circles.

After a couple weeks of trying to figure this out on and off I finally got something working, I'm sure others will benefit from it
