### enum class QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset

Predefined positions for camera.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::NoPreset` | `0` | Used to indicate a preset has not been set, or the scene has been rotated freely.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::FrontLow` | `1` | Both x and y rotations of the camera are 0.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::Front` | `2` | X rotation is 0 and y rotation is 22.5 degrees.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::FrontHigh` | `3` | X rotation is 0 and y rotation is 45 degrees.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::LeftLow` | `4` | X rotation is 90 and y rotation is 0 degrees.

`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::LeftHigh` | `6` | X rotation is 90 and y rotation is 45 degrees.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::RightLow` | `7` | X rotation is -90 and y rotation is 0 degrees.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::Right` | `8` | X rotation is -90 and y rotation is 22.5 degrees.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::RightHigh` | `9` | X rotation is -90 and y rotation is 45 degrees.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::BehindLow` | `10` | X rotation is 180 and y rotation is 0 degrees.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::Behind` | `11` | X rotation is 180 and y rotation is 22.5 degrees.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::BehindHigh` | `12` | X rotation is 180 and y rotation is 45 degrees.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::IsometricLeft` | `13` | X rotation is 45 and y rotation is 22.5 degrees.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::IsometricLeftHigh` | `14` | X rotation is 45 and y rotation is 45 degrees.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::IsometricRight` | `15` | X rotation is -45 and y rotation is 22.5 degrees.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::IsometricRightHigh` | `16` | X rotation is -45 and y rotation is 45 degrees.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::DirectlyAbove` | `17` | X rotation is 0 and y rotation is 90 degrees.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::DirectlyAboveCW45` | `18` | X rotation is -45 and y rotation is 90 degrees.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::DirectlyAboveCCW45` | `19` | X rotation is 45 and y rotation is 90 degrees.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::FrontBelow` | `20` | X rotation is 0 and y rotation is -45 degrees. In Q3DBarsWidgetItem from FrontBelow onward these only work for graphs including negative values. They act as CameraPreset...Low for positive-only values.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::LeftBelow` | `21` | X rotation is 90 and y rotation is -45 degrees.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::RightBelow` | `22` | X rotation is -90 and y rotation is -45 degrees.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::BehindBelow` | `23` | X rotation is 180 and y rotation is -45 degrees.
`QtGraphs3D::CameraPreset::DirectlyBelow` | `24` | X rotation is 0 and y rotation is -90 degrees. Acts as FrontLow for positive-only bars.

### enum class QtGraphs3D::ElementType

Type of an element in the graph.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QtGraphs3D::ElementType::None` | `0` | No defined element.
`QtGraphs3D::ElementType::Series` | `1` | An item in a series.
`QtGraphs3D::ElementType::AxisXLabel` | `2` | The x-axis label.
`QtGraphs3D::ElementType::AxisYLabel` | `3` | The y-axis label.
`QtGraphs3D::ElementType::AxisZLabel` | `4` | The z-axis label.
`QtGraphs3D::ElementType::CustomItem` | `5` | A custom item.

### enum class QtGraphs3D::GridLineType

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QtGraphs3D::GridLineType::Shader` | `0` | Grid lines are rendered with GPU in a shader.
`QtGraphs3D::GridLineType::Geometry` | `1` | Grid lines are rendered with 3D models.

### enum class QtGraphs3D::OptimizationHint

The optimization hint for rendering.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QtGraphs3D::OptimizationHint::Default` | `0` | Provides the full feature set with instancing at a good performance.
`QtGraphs3D::OptimizationHint::Legacy` | `1` | Provides the full feature set at a reasonable performance. To be used if OptimizationHint.Default performs poorly or does not work.

### enum class QtGraphs3D::RenderingMode

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---

`QtGraphs3D::RenderingMode::DirectToBackground`

`0`

Indicates that the graph will be rendered directly on the window background and QML items are rendered on top of it. Using non-transparent QML item as a background will hide the graph. Clears the whole window before rendering the graph, including the areas outside the graph. If the surface format of the window supports antialiasing, it will be used (see QQuick3D::idealSurfaceFormat()). This rendering mode offers the best performance at the expense of non-standard QML behavior. For example, the graphs do not obey the z ordering of QML items and the opacity value has no effect on them.

`QtGraphs3D::RenderingMode::Indirect`

`1`

Indicates the graph will be first rendered to an offscreen surface that is then drawn during normal QML item rendering. The rendered image is antialiased using the multisampling method if it is supported in the current environment and the msaaSamples property value is greater than zero. This rendering mode offers good quality and normal QML item behavior at the expense of performance.

### enum class QtGraphs3D::ShadowQuality

Quality of shadows.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QtGraphs3D::ShadowQuality::None` | `0` | Shadows are disabled.
`QtGraphs3D::ShadowQuality::Low` | `1` | Shadows are rendered in low quality.
`QtGraphs3D::ShadowQuality::Medium` | `2` | Shadows are rendered in medium quality.
`QtGraphs3D::ShadowQuality::High` | `3` | Shadows are rendered in high quality.
`QtGraphs3D::ShadowQuality::SoftLow` | `4` | Shadows are rendered in low quality with softened edges.
`QtGraphs3D::ShadowQuality::SoftMedium` | `5` | Shadows are rendered in medium quality with softened edges.
`QtGraphs3D::ShadowQuality::SoftHigh` | `6` | Shadows are rendered in high quality with softened edges.

### `[since 6.9]` enum class QtGraphs3D::TransparencyTechnique

Specifies which transparency technique to use. The Default value is `Default`. When rendering transparent surface graphs, use `Approximate` or `Accurate`. `Default` should be used for other graph types.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QtGraphs3D::TransparencyTechnique::Default` | `0` | Indicates that order-independent transparency techniques are not used. Offers the best performance. Use when graphs don't contain transparency or when a bar or scatter graph is also using instancing, that is optimizationHint is {QtGraphs3D::OptimizationHint::Default}.
`QtGraphs3D::TransparencyTechnique::Approximate` | `1` | Indicates that a graph attempts an approximation of order-independent transparency. This method is faster than `Accurate` and works on older hardware but may yield inaccurate results. Use when the order-independent transparency is needed, but the performance cost has to be lower than when using accurate order-independent transparency.
`QtGraphs3D::TransparencyTechnique::Accurate` | `2` | Indicates that accurate order-independent transparency is used. Use when perfect transparency rendering is needed.

This enum was introduced in Qt 6.9.
