Using the new Sub-Charts API, create a multi-pane stock chart example with indicator panels on a single WebGL chart surface. This allows for higher-performance since the WebGL context is shared. Zooming, panning, cursors are synchronised between the charts.

227This example demonstrates how to implement a high-performance multi-pane stock chart using JavaScript. It leverages the SciChart.js Sub-Charts API to render several synchronized panes—including a candlestick series, a MACD indicator with divergence and band series, and an RSI chart—on a single shared WebGL chart surface. This approach optimizes rendering performance while keeping interactions such as zooming, panning, and crosshair updates in sync across all panes.
The chart is constructed using the Builder API with JSON configuration via the call to chartBuilder.build2DChart(). This method initializes the primary SciChartSurface along with multiple sub-chart surfaces positioned dynamically using Rect definitions. For enhanced interactivity, custom chart modifiers and SVG annotations, such as the FinChartLegendModifier and FinChartLegendAnnotation, are implemented to provide real-time tooltips and interactive legends. These modifiers update dynamically based on mouse movements and are closely integrated with the axis synchronization logic, which is achieved by subscribing to the axis.visibleRangeChanged event on the x-axes of each sub-chart. For further technical details on creating custom annotations, refer to the Tutorial 06 - Adding Annotations.
The example showcases a wide array of advanced features including:
This implementation is built entirely in JavaScript and follows best practices for high-performance charting with SciChart.js. The use of a shared WebGL context, efficient JSON-based Builder API configuration, and dynamically synchronized axes demonstrates a robust approach to trading chart applications. In addition, the example includes custom event handling for drag-resize logic, which allows users to adjust the sub-chart pane sizes on the fly. To learn more about optimizing performance, developers can review the Performance Tips & Tricks guide.
