SciChart® the market leader in Fast WPF Charts, WPF 3D Charts, iOS Chart, Android Chart and JavaScript Chart Components
SciChart Android ships with ~90Â Android Chart Examples which you can browse, play with, view the source-code and even export each SciChart Android Chart Example to a stand-alone Android Studio project. All of this is possible with the new and improved SciChart Android Examples Suite, which ships as part of our Android Charts SDK.
Demonstrates how you may interact with annotations that have been placed on a chart, using the Annotations API.
Annotation Types Include
– AxisMarkerAnnotation
– BoxAnnotation
– CustomAnnotation
– HorizontalLineAnnotation
– LineAnnotation
– LineArrowAnnotation
– TextAnnotation
– VerticalLineAnnotation
Tip!
To make an annotation Read-only, call the setIsEditable(false) on an Annotation. In this example, all the annotations have IsEditable=true. You can select them, drag and resize via the anchor-points.
The full source code for the Android Chart Interactive Annotations example is included below (Scroll down!).
