QCustomPlot Discussion and Comments

I'm trying to set the background color of a graph to be black while the background color where the labels are placed should be white. Unfortunately I've only been able to set a single backgorund color. Let me explain better with some images. What I actually have is this:

black graph background, black labels background and white label text.
What I'm trying to achieve is this:

black graph background, white labels background and black label text (this image has been modified in an image editor).

Could someone please tell me how may I achieve this? QCustomPlot::setBackground() sets the whole background and I can't set the background color of the labels...

You can set the axis rect background separately (to black, in your case) via
plot->axisRect()->setBackground(...)
The customplot's background should be left white, to achieve the effect you want.

I totally missed that property, I apologize for that.
Thank you very much for help!

Hi

I did not get the setBackground method usage. I am facing similar issue. This is the only thread that talks about it. Can you please tell me how do i use it. My Code as of now is a simple one from the turorial.

 customPlot = ui->widget;

// generate some data:
QVector<double> x(101), y(101); // initialize with entries 0..100
for (int i=0; i<101; ++i)
{
  x[i] = i/50.0 - 1; // x goes from -1 to 1
  y[i] = x[i]*x[i]; // let's plot a quadratic function
}
// create graph and assign data to it:
customPlot->addGraph();

customPlot->graph(0)->setData(x, y);
// give the axes some labels:
customPlot->xAxis->setLabel("x");
customPlot->yAxis->setLabel("y");
// set axes ranges, so we see all data:
customPlot->xAxis->setRange(-1, 1);
customPlot->yAxis->setRange(0, 1);
customPlot->replot();

Thank you for ur time.
