    \brief Using Scatter3D in a QML application.

    \e {Simple Scatter Graph} shows how to make a simple scatter graph visualization using
    Scatter3D and QML.

    For instructions about how to interact with the graph, see
    \l{Qt Graphs Interacting with Data in 3D}{this page}.

    For instructions on how to create a new Qt Quick application of your own, see Qt Creator help.

    \section1 Setting up the Layout

    Before diving into the QML code, \c main.cpp sets up the application. The \c main.qml file
    is read from resource (\c{qrc:})

    \snippet 3d/scatter/main.cpp 0

    This \c main.qml file is the starting point for the application's QML code. Firstly,
    import all the required QML modules:

    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/main.qml 0

    Then, create a \c {Data} item which will be the item that holds the data for the graph.

    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/main.qml 1

    Next, create two GraphsTheme items that define two different themes for the graph, a Qt Green
    theme and a Qt Neon Green theme.

    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/main.qml 2

    The layout for this application is going to consist of five different buttons to
    toggle different visual options for the graph on and off, and of course the graph itself.
    There are many ways to organize these, one way is to have a \c {GridLayout} containing
    four buttons, the \c {Graph}, and the fifth button, all appearing in a \c {ColumnLayout}.

    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/main.qml 3

    The \c {GridLayout} is responsive. What this means is that the number of columns used
    depends on the width of the application window. This is done by assigning the \c {columns}
    property a ternary operator, resolving to either 1, 2 or 4, depending on the window width.

    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/main.qml 4

    In this \c {GridLayout}, four \c {RoundButton}s are instantiated. One for toggling shadows,
    one for mesh smoothing, one for camera position, and finally, one for changing the background
    of the graph. All the buttons follow the same structure. Rather than redefining this structure
    for all buttons, a custom component can be made.

    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/main.qml 5

    \c CustomButtom extends the \c RoundButton type, but adds a few additions. Properties
    such as \c {Layout.minimumWidth}, \c {Layout.FillWidth}, \c {radius} and \c {background} are set.
    These define the styling and layout of the button.

    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/main.qml 6

    Whereas the \c {contentItem} defines the content of the button, in this case a \c {Row} type
    containing an icon and some text. The icon is imported using an \c {Image} type, and setting
    the \c {source} property. The text is created using a \c {Label} type and set using its \c {text}
    property. Two alliases are created for these two properties at the top of the custom component,
    this will allow them to be set when an instance of \c CustomButton is created.

    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/main.qml 7

    In the \c GridLayout, four \c {CustomButton}s are created. Three properties need to be
    set, the two alliases for the icon image and the text, and the signal \c {onClicked}.

    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/main.qml 8

    For example, the shadow button sets the \c onClicked sign to toggle the shadow on and off.

    \section1 Setting up the Graph

    Next in the layout is the \c {Graph}, this is defined in its own QML file \c {Graph.qml}, and
    is instantiated as follows:

    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/main.qml 9

    Looking at its implementation in \c {Graph.qml}, the graph is of type \c {Scatter3D}, nested
    within an \c {Item} type.

    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/Graph.qml 0

    Before defining the data sets, some of the axes properties are configured.

    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/Graph.qml 1

    \section1 Setting up the Data

    The graph shows three datasets, representing the data given in \c {Data.qml}. The datasets are
    stored in \c {ListModel} types

    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/Data.qml 1
    \dots
    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/Data.qml 2
    \dots
    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/Data.qml 3
    \dots
    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/Data.qml 4

    and exposed to the other files using \c {property alias}es

    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/Data.qml 0

    Before these aliases are used, create a \c {Scatter3DSeries} type, containing a
    \c {ItemModelScatterDataProxy} item.

    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/Graph.qml 2

    This data proxy refers to the datasets in \c {Data.qml} using its \c {itemModel}
    property. The aliases mentioned above are accessed through the \c {id} of the \c {Data} type
    instantiated in \c {main.qml}, \c {seriesData}.

    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/Graph.qml 3

    Repeat this for the remaining two datasets.

    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/Graph.qml 4
    \dots
    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/Graph.qml 5
    \dots
    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/Graph.qml 6
    \dots
    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/Graph.qml 7
    \dots
    \snippet 3d/scatter/qml/scatter/Graph.qml 8

    Great, the scatter graph is now pointing to the three datasets.

    The only thing left to do is to add the remaining button, the \c {theme button}, to our
    \c {ColumnLayout}. The only difference with this button is it is positioned on the
    left-hand side of the layout. This is set by defining the \c {Layout.alignment} property
    to \c {Qt.AlignLeft} and \c {Layout.fillWidth} to \c false.
