iOS & macOS Modify Camera3D Properties

iOS & macOS charts - Examples

Please note! These examples are new to SciChart iOS v4 release! SciChart’s OpenGL ES and Metal iOS and Metal macOS Chart library ships with hundred of Objective-C and Swift iOS & macOS Chart Examples which you can browse, play with and view the source-code. All of this is possible with the new and improved SciChart iOS Examples Suite and demo application for Mac, which ships as part of the SciChart SDK.

Download Examples

This example presents how Camera 3D work in SciChart for iOS. It shows how different properties define the view port as seen by the camera.

Read more in our documentation article about SciChart iOS SciChart Surface Camera.

The Swift and Objective-C source code for the iOS and macOS Modify Camera3D Properties example is included below (Scroll down!).

Did you know that we have the source code for all our example available for free on Github?

Clone the SciChart.iOS.Examples from Github.

Also the SciChart iOS and Scichart macOS Trials contain the full source for the examples (link below).
