React Histogram Chart

Overview

This React component demonstrates a Histogram Chart using SciChart.js, visualizing population distribution by age range. The example leverages the SciChartReact wrapper component for seamless React integration.

Technical Implementation

The chart logic is encapsulated in drawExample.ts, which creates a SciChartSurface with configured axes and a FastRectangleRenderableSeries. The React component simply passes this function to <SciChartReact initChart={drawExample}>.

Features and Capabilities

The implementation features custom texture patterns through StickFigureTextureOptions, data labels with engineering formatting, and responsive design via CSS modules. Interactive modifiers enable zooming and panning capabilities.

Integration and Best Practices

The example demonstrates React best practices by separating chart logic from presentation. The component is reusable and properly manages SciChart resources through the wrapper's lifecycle. For advanced usage, refer to SciChart React Documentation.
