React Realtime Mountain Chart

Overview

This example demonstrates a high performance real time Mountain Chart implemented in React using SciChart.js. It visualizes continuously updated data using animated transitions and a custom SVG pulsing dot to highlight the latest data point. The integration leverages the SciChart React integration to seamlessly embed advanced charting into a React application.

Technical Implementation

The chart is configured by creating NumericAxis X and Y axes and a Mountain Series via the FastMountainRenderableSeries, as detailed in the Mountain (Area) Chart Documentation. Real-time data is injected into the chart using a timer loop, where new points are added and then animated using the DoubleAnimator with easing functions such as easing.outExpo, as described in the Generic Animations guide. A custom SVG annotation renders a pulsing dot at the latest data point, enhancing the dynamic feel of the visualization.

Features and Capabilities

The implementation supports real-time updates by continuously appending new data points and animating transitions. In addition, it includes advanced styling features like gradient fills for the mountain series and animated custom annotations. Developers looking to implement similar real-time behaviors can refer to the Adding Realtime Updates tutorial for further insight.

Integration and Best Practices

The example integrates into React through the <SciChartReact/> component, utilizing the onInit and onDelete callbacks to start and stop data updates. This approach ensures smooth lifecycle management within React applications and follows best practices for React integration. Additionally, performance is optimized by leveraging the WebAssembly context provided by SciChart.js, ensuring efficient rendering even with continuous data updates. For more detailed guidance on integrating SciChart.js with React, developers are encouraged to review the resources provided in the SciChart React integration documentation.
