125This example demonstrates how to implement dynamic style transition animations using SciChart.js in an Angular standalone component. The example focuses on animating both chart data and style property transitions between two distinct visual presets, showcasing real-time visual feedback.
The implementation begins with asynchronous initialization of a SciChartSurface via the Angular component. The drawExample function creates numeric X and Y axes and generates data for a FastBandRenderableSeries using an XyyDataSeries. A BandAnimation is then used to transition chart properties such as stroke, fill, and stroke thickness over a duration of 1000ms. This approach follows the guidance provided in the Style Transition Animations documentation and utilizes asynchronous patterns typical in Angular as outlined in the Getting Started with SciChart JS guide.
The example offers real-time chart updates by toggling between two style presets, allowing users to experience smooth transitions. It integrates interactive modifiers such as ZoomExtentsModifier, ZoomPanModifier, and MouseWheelZoomModifier to enhance user interactivity and navigation. Furthermore, the implementation demonstrates efficient memory management by registering a temporary data series with the chart’s surface for cleanup, ensuring high performance.
Built as a standalone Angular component, this example leverages the scichart-angular package for seamless integration into Angular templates. Callback functions are passed to the component to trigger style animations dynamically, following recommended Angular practices for component interaction and asynchronous data handling. Developers interested in optimizing performance and understanding integration patterns in Angular applications are encouraged to review the Angular Style Animation | SciChart.js Demo and further explore best practices in the Getting Started with SciChart JS documentation.
