64This example demonstrates the creation of a React Mountain Chart using SciChart.js, showcasing how to integrate advanced charting functionality into a React application. The chart visualizes a dynamic dataset generated by a random walk and is rendered with a mountain series that features both a gradient fill and an animated wave effect.
The chart is initialized via an asynchronous function which creates a SciChartSurface and configures it with numeric X and Y axes. A mountain series is added using the FastMountainRenderableSeries with configurable properties such as stroke thickness, gradient fills (using GradientParams), and a wave animation effect. The component is integrated into React by passing the initialization function as a prop to the <SciChartReact/> component, following best practices from React Charts with SciChart.js: Introducing “SciChart React”.
The example emphasizes several advanced features: interactive zooming and panning through modifiers like ZoomExtentsModifier, RubberBandXyZoomModifier, and MouseWheelZoomModifier; dynamic data generation using a RandomWalkGenerator; and visually appealing animations on the mountain series. This comprehensive feature set aligns with recommendations found in Creating a SciChart React Component from the Ground Up and the detailed mountain chart documentation available in the SciChart.js Mountain Chart Documentation.
Integrating SciChart.js into a React application is streamlined by the use of the <SciChartReact/> component, which accepts a function prop for asynchronous chart initialization. This pattern supports effective resource management, especially with WebGL and WebAssembly contexts, and allows for efficient performance optimization. Developers can further explore techniques in asynchronous React patterns through Using async/await inside a React functional component. Overall, this example serves as an instructive guide on implementing high-performance, interactive charts in React while following robust coding and integration best practices.
