Use Point Markers in Angular

Overview

This example demonstrates how to render custom data-point markers using SciChart.js within an Angular standalone component. It showcases a range of marker types including ellipse, square, triangle, cross, and a custom image marker, each applied to separate data series. Gaps in the data are intentionally introduced to demonstrate how the markers handle missing values.

Technical Implementation

The chart is initialized asynchronously using SciChartSurface.create(), which loads necessary WebAssembly resources as detailed in the Getting Started with SciChart JS guide. The component employs the scichart-angular package to integrate SciChart.js with Angular, binding the asynchronous initialization function directly in the template. Multiple renderable series are instantiated using SplineLineRenderableSeries, each with its own point marker set via classes such as EllipsePointMarker, SquarePointMarker, TrianglePointMarker, CrossPointMarker, and SpritePointMarker.

Features and Capabilities

This example illustrates the ability to render high-performance charts with custom visual styles for each data series. Advanced features include real-time update capabilities supported by smooth WebGL rendering and interactive modifications through built-in modifiers like ZoomPanModifier and MouseWheelZoomModifier. The implementation further demonstrates handling asynchronous image loading for custom markers. For detailed marker configuration, refer to the SciChart.js PointMarkers Documentation.

Integration and Best Practices

By leveraging Angular’s component architecture, this example shows best practices for importing and configuring third-party libraries. It emphasizes asynchronous chart initialization and effective data binding within Angular standalone components. Developers interested in integrating SciChart to Angular can use the ScichartAngularComponent from the scichart-angular package on npm.
