React Multi-Pane Stock Charts using Subcharts

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.

Sub Chart Stock Charts Example with React

Overview

This example demonstrates how to build a high-performance multi-pane stock chart in a React application using SciChart.js. It leverages the new Sub-Charts API to render multiple sub-charts on a single WebGL chart surface. This design allows for the sharing of the WebGL context, which in turn significantly improves rendering performance, and synchronizes features such as zooming, panning, and cursor crosshairs across the panes.

Technical Implementation

The implementation makes use of the <SciChartReact/> component for easy integration within a React application. The chart is constructed using the Builder API with a JSON configuration through the call to chartBuilder.build2DChart(). Three distinct sub-charts are configured: a candlestick chart displaying OHLC data, a MACD chart with divergence and band series, and an RSI chart for technical analysis. For guidance on using the Sub-Charts API, see Creating Resizable Multi Pane Charts with SubCharts. Advanced customizations are implemented via custom chart modifiers such as FinChartLegendModifier and FinChartLegendAnnotation, which provide interactive SVG legends and tooltips. Developer-defined palette providers further enhance visual clarity by conditionally coloring volume and MACD histogram series.

Features and Capabilities

The example showcases several advanced features including synchronized axis ranges across sub-charts, real-time legend updates driven by mouse movements, and interactive annotations powered by SVG. Custom drag-resizing logic has been integrated to allow users to adjust pane sizes dynamically. The shared WebGL context not only boosts performance but also ensures that all sub-charts respond uniformly to user interactions. For more details on implementing such techniques in a React environment, consult the React Charts with SciChart.js guide and explore performance tips in Optimizing SciChartJS Performance.

Integration and Best Practices

This example follows best practices for integrating SciChart.js in React by encapsulating chart initialization within the <SciChartReact/> component and using the Builder API for clear, maintainable configuration. Efficient handling of events and state synchronization across multiple sub-chart surfaces has been implemented to deliver a smooth interactive experience. Developers are encouraged to review related resources such as Creating a SciChart React Component from the Ground Up and guides on custom chart modifiers to further optimize their React chart applications.
