Per Point Coloring - Angular

Overview

This Angular example demonstrates how to implement per point coloring for both line and scatter series using SciChart.js. The example utilizes the ScichartAngularComponent and Angular standalone components to integrate the chart seamlessly into an Angular application.

Technical Implementation

The chart is asynchronously initialized by calling SciChartSurface.create(), which loads the required WebAssembly context as detailed in the Creating a new SciChartSurface and loading Wasm documentation. Numeric axes are configured and a random walk data series is generated. Custom implementations of the PaletteProvider interfaces IStrokePaletteProvider and IPointMarkerPaletteProvider are used to override stroke and point marker colors on a per-data-point basis. This technique leverages the The PaletteProvider API documentation for dynamic color assignment based on defined threshold values.

Features and Capabilities

The example features interactive annotations, including draggable horizontal lines that update threshold levels in real-time. This behavior is implemented using editable annotations, as explained in the Editable Annotations guide. Performance is optimized by processing color updates on each data point efficiently, ensuring high performance even with dynamic chart updates.

Integration and Best Practices

Developers can easily integrate this version of SciChart.js in Angular by utilizing the standalone Angular component provided by the scichart-angular package, available on scichart-angular. The example also follows the best practices outlined in the Getting Started with SciChart JS guide, ensuring that asynchronous initialization and component-based structuring lead to maintainable and efficient code. This approach enables seamless event handling and real-time updates in Angular applications.
