104This example demonstrates how to create an Error Bars Chart in a React application using SciChart.js. The implementation uses the <SciChartReact/> component to initialize the chart via the drawExample function, offering a high performance, interactive chart experience with both vertical and horizontal error bars.
The chart is set up by creating a SciChartSurface with preconfigured numeric axes and then adding multiple renderable series. A mountain series with a gradient fill is added for visual context, while two FastErrorBarsRenderableSeries are used to demonstrate both horizontal and vertical error bars. Data for error bars is generated dynamically using absolute values via HlcDataSeries. The chart also integrates smooth animations with the EAnimationType Scale configuration, providing a visually appealing entry effect. Developers looking to further understand the React integration can refer to the Creating a SciChart React Component from the Ground Up documentation.
Key features of this example include the use of both horizontal and vertical error bars to represent uncertainty in data points. The chart leverages performance optimizations through the FastErrorBarsRenderableSeries, ensuring that rendering remains efficient even with dynamic data updates. Additionally, the example showcases advanced customization such as gradient fills and custom point markers with EllipsePointMarker, enhancing the visual appeal. For further details about error bar configuration, see The Error Bars Chart Type.
This example exemplifies best practices for integrating SciChart.js into a React application. The <SciChartReact/> component is used to initialize charts with the drawExample pattern, ensuring a clean separation between the React component and chart creation logic. Interactive chart modifiers such as ZoomPanModifier, ZoomExtentsModifier, and MouseWheelZoomModifier are incorporated to allow users to effortlessly explore the data.
