104This example demonstrates how to use LogarithmicAxis3D in a React 3D scatter chart powered by SciChart.js. The <SciChartReact/> component handles the chart lifecycle, while the drawExample function configures logarithmic scaling on both X and Y axes to visualize power spectral density data across 8 sensors.
The SciChartReact component from scichart-react accepts the drawExample function as the initChart prop, managing WebAssembly initialization and cleanup automatically. LogarithmicAxis3D with logBase: 10 is applied to the frequency (X) and PSD (Y) axes. Each sensor series uses XyzDataSeries3D populated with log-uniformly distributed frequency points and corresponding power-law PSD values.
Full 3D navigation is enabled via MouseWheelZoomModifier3D, OrbitModifier3D, and ResetCamera3DModifier. Eight ScatterRenderableSeries3D instances with colored SpherePointMarker3D markers represent distinct sensor channels with steepening power-law slopes.
The SciChartReact component handles resource disposal automatically. See React Charts with SciChart.js for details on lifecycle management. The logarithmic visible range must contain only positive values — avoid ranges that include zero or negative numbers.
