## Detailed Description

This abstract class serves as a base class for the following subtypes: Bar3DSeries, Scatter3DSeries, and Surface3DSeries.

For more information, see Qt Graphs Data Handling with 3D.

## Property Documentation

### baseColor : color

The base color of the series.

See also colorStyle and GraphsTheme.seriesColors.

### baseGradient : Gradient

The base gradient of the series.

See also colorStyle.

### colorStyle : GraphsTheme.ColorStyle

The color style for the series.

See also GraphsTheme.ColorStyle.

### itemLabel : string `[read-only]`

The formatted item label. If there is no selected item or the selected item is not visible, returns an empty string.

See also itemLabelFormat.

### itemLabelFormat : string

The label format for data items in this series. This format is used for single item labels, for example, when an item is selected. How the format is interpreted depends on series type.

See also Bar3DSeries, Scatter3DSeries, and Surface3DSeries.

### itemLabelVisible : bool

If `true`, item labels are drawn as floating labels in the graph. Otherwise, item labels are not drawn. To show the item label in an external control, this property is set to `false`. Defaults to `true`.

See also itemLabelFormat and itemLabel.

### lightingMode : Abstract3DSeries.LightingMode `[since 6.10]`

The lighting mode of the items in the series. The default value is QAbstract3DSeries::LightingMode::Shaded

This property was introduced in Qt 6.10.

See also QAbstract3DSeries::LightingMode.

### mesh : Abstract3DSeries.Mesh

The mesh of the items in the series, or the selection pointer in case of Surface3DSeries. If the mesh is Abstract3DSeries.Mesh.UserDefined, then the userDefinedMesh property must also be set for items to render properly. The default value depends on the graph type.

See also QAbstract3DSeries::Mesh.

### meshRotation : quaternion

The mesh rotation that is applied to all items of the series. The rotation should be a normalized quaternion. For those series types that support item specific rotation, the rotations are multiplied together. Bar3DSeries ignores any rotation that is not around the y-axis. Surface3DSeries applies the rotation only to the selection pointer. Defaults to no rotation.

### meshSmooth : bool

If `true`, smooth versions of predefined meshes set via the mesh property are used. This property does not affect custom meshes used when the mesh is set to Abstract3DSeries.Mesh.UserDefined. Defaults to `false`.

### multiHighlightColor : color

The multiple item highlight color of the series.

See also colorStyle and GraphsTheme.multiHighlightColor.

### multiHighlightGradient : Gradient

The multiple item highlight gradient of the series.

See also colorStyle and GraphsTheme.multiHighlightGradient.

### name : string

The series name. It can be used in item label format with the tag `@seriesName`.

See also itemLabelFormat.

### singleHighlightColor : color

The single item highlight color of the series.

See also colorStyle and GraphsTheme.singleHighlightColor.

### singleHighlightGradient : Gradient

The single item highlight gradient of the series.

See also colorStyle and GraphsTheme.singleHighlightGradient.

### type : Abstract3DSeries.SeriesType `[read-only]`

The type of the series. One of the QAbstract3DSeries::SeriesType values.

### userDefinedMesh : string

The filename for a user defined custom mesh for objects that is used when mesh is Abstract3DSeries.Mesh.UserDefined.

Note: The file needs to be in the QtQuick3D mesh format. Use the `balsam` conversion tool to create a mesh from other 3D model formats.

### visible : bool

The visibility of the series. If `false`, the series is not rendered.
