Vertically-Stacked Axis in SciChart.js allows several traces with independent Y-axis to be placed on the same chart, stacking the Y-Axis and enabling an ECG/EEG-style trace. Great for neurological apps, medical apps, earthquake monitoring.

118This example demonstrates how to build an Angular chart integrating SciChart.js that stacks several independent Y-axes vertically, allowing multiple data traces to overlap for ECG/EEG-style visualizations. The implementation uses the scichart-angular package and Angular standalone components as outlined in Getting started with standalone components - Angular.
The chart is initialized asynchronously via the ScichartAngularComponent by passing an asynchronous initialization function to the initChart property. This function sets up the SciChartSurface with a custom layout strategy using the LeftAlignedOuterVerticallyStackedAxisLayoutStrategy to vertically align multiple Y-axes. Each Y-axis is created with its own visible range and borders, and dynamic data is fed into the chart using a custom sine wave generator that leverages the XyDataSeries. High-performance rendering is achieved using the FastLineRenderableSeries. Interactive modifiers such as YAxisDragModifier, XAxisDragModifier, RubberBandXyZoomModifier, and MouseWheelZoomModifier are added for advanced zooming and panning capabilities. For further technical details, see the Vertically Stacked Axis Layout documentation.
This example highlights several key features:
FastLineRenderableSeries ensures efficient management of large data sets, as illustrated in the SciChart.js Performance Demo.NativeTextAnnotation provides context directly on the chart, further detailed in the NativeTextAnnotation documentation.Integrating SciChart.js with Angular is made efficient with standalone components and asynchronous chart initialization. Developers are encouraged to explore Getting Started with SciChart JS for foundational knowledge. The example also demonstrates how to optimize chart performance and interactivity by combining custom layout strategies with advanced modifiers. These techniques represent best practices for building responsive, high-performing charts in Angular.

In this example we are simulating four channels of data showing that SciChart.js can be used to draw real-time ECG/EKG charts and graphs to monitor heart reate, body temperature, blood pressure, pulse rate, SPO2 blood oxygen, volumetric flow and more.
