How to map QChart coordinate to QChartView point?

Question

I want to make a rubber band window in QChart, but I don't know how to map a coordinate of QChart to QChartView.

e.g. (0, 0) is a QChart coordinate, maybe it in QChartView is (10, 10), how to transform it? I have saw the answer of Get mouse coordinates in QChartView's axis system

But it seems like that it is reversed with my requirement.

import sys
from PyQt5.QtChart import QChart, QChartView, QLineSeries
from PyQt5.QtCore import QPointF, QEvent, QPoint, QRect
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QRubberBand

class ChartView(QChartView):
    def init_rubber_band(self):
        chart = self.chart()

        start1 = chart.mapToPosition(QPointF(0, 0))
        start2 = chart.mapToScene(start1)
        start3 = QPoint()
        start3.setX(int(start2.x()))
        start3.setY(int(start2.y()))

        end = QPoint(200, 200)

        self.rubber = QRubberBand(QRubberBand.Rectangle, self);
        self.rubber.setGeometry(QRect(start3, end))
        self.rubber.show()


app = QApplication(sys.argv)
series0 = QLineSeries()
series1 = QLineSeries()

series0 << QPointF(1, 15) << QPointF(3, 17) << QPointF(7, 16) << QPointF(9, 17) \
        << QPointF(12, 16) << QPointF(16, 17) << QPointF(18, 15)
series1 << QPointF(1, 3) << QPointF(3, 4) << QPointF(7, 3) << QPointF(8, 2) \
        << QPointF(12, 3) << QPointF(16, 4) << QPointF(18, 3)

chart = QChart()
chart.addSeries(series0)
chart.addSeries(series1)
chart.createDefaultAxes()
chartView = ChartView(chart)

chartView.init_rubber_band()

window = QMainWindow()
window.setCentralWidget(chartView)
window.resize(400, 300)
window.show()

sys.exit(app.exec_())

I use mapToPosition to get coordinate of original point, but it seems like that it doesn't work.

If you want to perform some calculation you must do it after the widget is displayed and since QChartView just recalculates the items, in the following example I will create a QRubberBand that is on a rectangle with coordinates regarding QChart from QPointF(1, 17) to QPointF(18, 2)

class ChartView(QChartView):
    def init_rubber_band(self):
        chart = self.chart()
        start_value = QPointF(1, 17)
        end_value = QPointF(18, 2)
        start = chart.mapToPosition(start_value)
        end = chart.mapToPosition(end_value)

        self.rubber = QRubberBand(QRubberBand.Rectangle, self)
        self.rubber.setGeometry(QRect(start.toPoint(), end.toPoint()))
        self.rubber.show()


app = QApplication(sys.argv)
series0 = QLineSeries()
series1 = QLineSeries()

series0 << QPointF(1, 15) << QPointF(3, 17) << QPointF(7, 16) << QPointF(9, 17) \
        << QPointF(12, 16) << QPointF(16, 17) << QPointF(18, 15)
series1 << QPointF(1, 3) << QPointF(3, 4) << QPointF(7, 3) << QPointF(8, 2) \
        << QPointF(12, 3) << QPointF(16, 4) << QPointF(18, 3)

chart = QChart()
chart.addSeries(series0)
chart.addSeries(series1)
chart.createDefaultAxes()
chartView = ChartView(chart)

window = QMainWindow()
window.setCentralWidget(chartView)
window.resize(400, 300)
window.show()

chartView.init_rubber_band()

sys.exit(app.exec_())

Output:

Thanks a lot. And the rubber band rectangle should start from top left corner to lower right, I made a reversed understanding. — Jacky, Feb 23 '18 at 06:18
