Converting IXyDataSeries to IOhlcDataSeries

Hello there,

XyDataSeries contains only X,Y values whereas OhlcDataSeries contains Open, High, Low, Close, Date values. It’s not possible to convert from XyDataSeries to OhlcDataSeries because you would need to provide the extra data (The Open, High, Low, Close). You could however use this API to copy the X,Y values from XyDataSeries into a new OhlcDataSeries:

   ohlcDataSeries.Append(openValues, highValues, lowValues, xyDataSeries.getYValues(), xyDataSeries.getXValues());

You would need to provide openValues, highValues and lowValues.

Next, is it possible to merge candles as you zoom? No it is not, as this would lose data, SciChart cannot do this. It has to draw the data you give it correctly.

You can however, change the FastCandlestickRenderableSeries.DataSeries for a new OhlcDataSeries with new data where you have merged the candles yourself.

You can also listen to Axis VisibleRange Changes to make changes to data dynaimcally as you zoom. For isntructions, please see the Axis Ranging – AutoRange and VisibleRange documentation and scroll down to ‘How to listen to VisibleRange changes

How to listen to VisibleRange changes

It is possible to subscribe to listening to the VisibleRange changes using a VisibleRangeChangeListener:

IAxis axis = new NumericAxis(getActivity());
axis.setVisibleRangeChangeListener(new IAxisCore.VisibleRangeChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onVisibleRangeChanged(IAxisCore axis, IRange oldRange, IRange newRange, boolean isAnimating) {
        // TODO change the OHLC data to merge candles as you zoom here 
    }
});

Best regards,
Andrew
