Hello,

I have issues when I want to apply a custom CustomPolygonRenderableSeries.

For implementation it was used sci-chart documentation from

enter link description here
enter link description here

It takes a while to show just 10000 polygons from 40000 points! When I tried to slide or zoom main window it got some freezes for 1-1.5 seconds. The main problem is in redrawing several times(protected override void Draw). There is an example of used code:

public class CustomPolygonRenderableSeries : CustomRenderableSeries
{
    protected override void Draw(IRenderContext2D renderContext, IRenderPassData renderPassData)
    {
        var dataPointSeries = renderPassData.PointSeries as XyzPointSeries;

        if (dataPointSeries == null) return;
        if (dataPointSeries.XValues.All(double.IsNaN)) return;

        var xCalc = renderPassData.XCoordinateCalculator;
        var yCalc = renderPassData.YCoordinateCalculator;

        // try to filter some polygons by visible range
        var xVisibleRange = XAxis.VisibleRange;
        var yVisibleRange = YAxis.VisibleRange;

        var points = new Point[4];
        var step = 4;
        for (var index = 0; index < dataPointSeries.Count; index += step)
        {
            if (!xVisibleRange.IsValueWithinRange(dataPointSeries.XValues[index + 3]) ||
                !yVisibleRange.IsValueWithinRange(dataPointSeries.YValues[index + 3])) continue;

            for (int i = 0; i < step; ++i)
            {
                points[i].X = xCalc.GetCoordinate(dataPointSeries.XValues[index + i]);
                points[i].Y = yCalc.GetCoordinate(dataPointSeries.YValues[index + i]);
            }

            var intColor = (int)dataPointSeries.ZPoints[index];
            var color = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(intColor).ToMediaColor();

            var brush = new SolidColorBrush(color);
            using var sBrush = renderContext.CreateBrush(brush, Opacity);
            renderContext.FillPolygon(sBrush, points);
        }
    }
}

public class CustomPolygonRenderableSeriesViewModel : BaseRenderableSeriesViewModel
{
    public override Type ViewType => typeof(CustomPolygonRenderableSeries);
}

Is this a known performance issue? Is there some way to by-pass it?

Thank you.

Sincerely, Roman

If there is a ChartModifier on the SciChart Surface, the Focus moves to the chart just by moving the mouse up without clicking the mouse.

The v6.2.0.13254 version does not have this problem, but the v8.0.0.27737 version does.

You can see that the focus is moving just by moving the mouse through the video.

How can i solve it?

Hi there,
Here is my xaml setting :

 <s:SciStockChart.XAxisStyle>
     <Style TargetType="s:CategoryDateTimeAxis">
         <Setter Property="VisibleRange" Value="{Binding ParentViewModel.XRange}" />
         <Setter Property="AutoRange" Value="{Binding ParentViewModel.AutoRangeX}"/>
     </Style>
 </s:SciStockChart.XAxisStyle>

And I also set, XRange = new IndexRange(0, 9), AutoRangeX = AutoRange.Never, but the chart show like image, always has gap there.

What should I do?

Hi，
I want to get the currently selected series like isCheckedChangedCallback in js. But there is no similar method in the documentation, how should I implement this function.

I am considering applying server-side licensing for my javerScript application.

In the document below, there is a phrase “Our server-side licensing component is written in C++.”
(https://support.scichart.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/17256/42/)

However, there is only asp.net sample code on the provided github.
(https://github.com/ABTSoftware/SciChart.JS.Examples/tree/master/Sandbox/demo-dotnet-server-licensing)

I wonder if there is a sample code implemented in C++ for server-side licensing.

Can you provide c++ sample code?
Also, are there any examples to run on Ubuntu?

Hello,
I’m attempting to build one of the WPF examples on a machine that has no internet access. I get the error mentioned in the title. When I exported the project, I selected the “Installation Folder” option rather than the “NuGet Package”.

How can I fix this error?

Thanks, Brett S.

Hi,

I would like to use the UniformXyDataSeries because I have different Y values that are equidistant in time. I then assumed that I could use UniformXyDataSeries when X values are equidistant. I created an object of type UniformXyDataSeries but this class expects the XStart and XStep to be double values. I would like to provide TimeSpan values instead of double values. Is there any class that lets us have this setup (uniform data series with Y being double values and X equidistant TimeSpan values)?

Now, if I create a UniformXyDataSeries and provide XStep to be 0.0001 (double value) seconds and set the X axis being a TimeSpanAxis, the chart will not be rendered because it is saying it cannot convert the double value of XStep into a TimeSpan.

Thank you!
Alex

Hi,

I feel this should be obvious but I cannot find the answer in the docs. I have multiple Y axis and I want all of them to start at 0 and autoRange only the max value. Also, the zooming should not be affected, it should have normal behavior. I just want the axis to go from 0 to auto max value when we call ZoomExtents(). The default behavior of the ZoomExtents() is auto min value to auto max value.

Is there any way we can achieve this with SciChart?

Thank you,
Alex

Hi everyone,

I have a chart with a ZoomPanModifier that allows to pan over the X axis only, what I’d like to accomplish is to append more data when the user reaches the max value of the axis while panning.

Is there an event to bind to a command or some other way to do something like this in MVVM?
I’d like to avoid using visible range events and only have this behaviour while panning if possible.

Thanks a lot,

Marco

The SciChart.Core.ExportType.Xps value was deprecated in a recent SciChart release. Are there plans to change this to another vector format? Or will this feature no longer be available?

Thanks!

I want to implement something like, if a certain analysis value/custom logic is true for one of the values in the loop, –> set this bar color to ‘orange’ as an example, how can i do this?

   // Create a dataset of type x=DateTime, y=Double
  var dataSeries = new OhlcDataSeries<DateTime, double>();

   // Prices are in the format Time, Open, High, Low, Close (all IList)
  var prices = smallerList;

    // Append data to series. SciChart automatically redraws
    for (var i = 0; i < prices.Count(); i++)
   {

 // Convert TIME to a 4-digit string (e.g., 5 becomes "0005", 15 becomes "0015")
 string timeString = prices[i].Value.TIME.ToString("D4");

 // Parse the TIME field
 int hour = int.Parse(timeString.Substring(0, 2));
 int minute = int.Parse(timeString.Substring(2, 2));

 // Create the DateTime object
 DateTime dateTime = new DateTime(prices[i].Value.YEAR, prices[i].Value.MONTH, prices[i].Value.DAY,      hour, minute, 0);
 Dispatcher.Invoke(() =>
 {
     //here we append values in 'dataSeries', how do i do something like, 'bool condition = 
// returnCustomLogic('dataValues') --> outputs true, if true --> set this bar color to orange

     // Update the UI element on the UI thread
     dataSeries.Append(
    dateTime,
    (double)prices[i].Value.OPEN,
    (double)prices[i].Value.HIGH,
    (double)prices[i].Value.LOW,
    (double)prices[i].Value.CLOSE);

   });


   }
     Dispatcher.Invoke(() =>
     {
 StockChart.RenderableSeries[0].DataSeries = dataSeries;

 // Zoom Extents - necessary as we have AutoRange=False
 StockChart.ZoomExtents();
   });

Hi, I have a problem with the Y-axis mouse scroll sensitivity regarding values, if you take a look here, you can see that it will take a lot of separate scrolls to reach the desired Y-axis value
due to a low level of sensitivity
how can I solve this problem

I am currently using the ImpulseRenderableSeries3D chart for dynamic data plotting, but I’ve encountered an issue where the data points are sometimes being plotted outside the axis boundaries. I have attached an image to illustrate the problem. Could you please assist me in addressing this issue?

Thank you

Hello.

I’m facing an issue where a previous team member didn’t deactivate licenses on used devices. The device has now been returned, and deactivation is currently not possible. I need to reuse a project used SciChart. Is there a way to reset the list of all previously activated devices?

Thank you.

I’m new to SciChart and have been following the tutorial provided by SciChart (SciChart WPF 2D Charts > Tutorials > MVVM). Took me hours to make it through the first step in Tutorial 02b – Creating a SciChartSurface with MVVM due to namespace typo in the tutorial, and again I’m now stuck at the very second step.

I cannot replicate the result in Tutorial 03b – Adding Series to a Chart with MVVM. No error found in the output, no binding error whatsoever, but the line is not visible. Also see the attached image comparing what it should look like in the tutorial and what mine looks like.

The project is a direct copy and paste from the tutorial except for the names. I have also cross checked against the code in GitHub. I’ve attached the project as a zip with the bin and obj folders removed.

I found two other related questions on this forum one being 11 years ago and the other dated 8 years but my recent trial installation encountered the exact same error and I have no way to start testing the charting library in my code.

I followed this tutorial:
https://www.scichart.com/documentation/win/current/webframe.html#Tutorial%2002b%20-%20Creating%20a%20SciChartSurface%20with%20MVVM.html

And I get this this error:
The tag ‘SciChartSurface’ does not exist in XML namespace ‘http://schemas.abtsoftware.co.uk/scichart’

I tried installing through the MSI & Licensing Wizard and I also reinstall the package through NuGet package manager console, and restarting Visual Studio but problem remains.

The SciChart WPF library version: 8.2.0.27935
Visual Studio: Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) configured to be x86. Target framework 4.8.

This is very disappointing

Hello.
I’m just started to use SciChart and I have a question. How I can mirror XAxis in order to values will be increased from right to left. It is not negative scale but this view is more familiar for users (now I remake the old application). P.S. And be the best if additionally you show me how to make static XAxis with chosen range. I see the example in demo’s “Create Realtime Charts” section (my chart will be real-time too), but my application created via MVVM and I think this example not fully applicable to my case (but I fink after some investigation I will can remake example, but if you help me it be easier).

Axis in ChartControl sets the interval.

hello.
I added an OverView and scrollbar below the main chart, referring to the CustomOverviewView example.
Graph and scroll functions work without problems.
I want to show the main chart annotations in the OverView.
How can I solve my problem?
have a good day!

Hi,
I am writing to request some helps about VisibleRange.

I am drawing simple line graphs using NumericAxis and XyDataSeries<long,double>.
I should control axis range so I used XVisibieRange with Int64Range.
But I have an error that It cannot be applied.

How can I control VisibleRange with long type data??

Hi,

i have a SciChartSurface with DateTimeAxis as xAxis and a NumericAxis as yAxis.
The fifo capacity is 500 points.

Now what i want to archieve is that when i zoom in that the visible range updates in a matter that its moving with the fifo and not to be frozen and at some point in time see how the data points are discarded.
I already implemented a CustomRubberBandZoomModifier which disables autoranging on Zoom and enables it after Zoom to Extents.

How could i archieve this like shown in the attached image?

Thank you already in advance.
