130The React Spline Line Chart example demonstrates how to integrate SciChart.js into a React application using the <SciChartReact/> component. The example showcases a traditional fast line series, a smoothed spline line series, and an enhanced Bezier line series. It leverages advanced features such as animated series with WaveAnimation, dynamic data transforms for smoothing using BezierRenderDataTransform, and interactive annotations to adjust chart parameters in real-time.
The chart creation logic is encapsulated in a dedicated function called drawExample which is initialized via the <SciChartReact/> component in the index.tsx file. This function creates a SciChartSurface, adds numeric axes and multiple renderable series, and configures interactive modifiers such as zoom, pan, and mouse wheel zoom. The implementation makes use of SciChart.js components such as FastLineRenderableSeries and SplineLineRenderableSeries, along with custom point markers (EllipsePointMarker) and animation (WaveAnimation). Developers can learn more about these features in the Spline Line Chart Documentation and the Tutorial for setting up SciChart React.
The example not only compares a standard fast line series against a spline line series but also demonstrates advanced smoothing techniques with BezierRenderDataTransform. Users can interactively modify the curvature of the Bezier smoothing via an axis marker annotation. Each series is animated using WaveAnimation, which provides a dynamic transition effect. Custom point markers, enhanced series customization, and interactive modifiers enrich the visualization and allow for real-time updates.
Integration with React is achieved through the <SciChartReact/> component, which simplifies the creation, update, and cleanup processes for the SciChartSurface within the React lifecycle. This approach follows best practices for React integration and ensures optimal performance by efficiently managing WebGL contexts. Additionally, developers are encouraged to explore interactive modifiers like ZoomPanModifier and MouseWheelZoomModifier for improved user interaction along with annotation features for dynamic chart adjustments. The example emphasizes performance optimization techniques that are crucial for rendering multiple series in a React environment, as outlined in Creating a SciChart React Component from the Ground Up.
