Angular Histogram Chart

Overview

This standalone Angular component showcases a Histogram Chart using SciChart.js to display population distribution data. The example uses the scichart-angular package for Angular integration.

Technical Implementation

The chart is implemented in drawExample.ts and integrated via Angular's template syntax: <scichart-angular [initChart]="drawExample"></scichart-angular>. The component uses FastRectangleRenderableSeries with custom textures and data labels.

Features and Capabilities

The chart features age-range aggregation, custom stick-figure textures, and engineering-format labels. Interactive modifiers like ZoomExtentsModifier enhance user experience.

Integration and Best Practices

The example follows Angular standalone component patterns and demonstrates proper resource cleanup.
