Hi,

I am following this https://www.scichart.com/example/android-chart-custom-series-spline-line/ to implement spline for a realtime mountain series but the thing is the render series is shown for an instant and then disappears. And also I am not able to get the areaStyle to work. Please advice.

}

The CubicSpline and TriDiagonalMatrixF implementation are the same as the example with no alterations.

Hi Vidya

To draw mountain series you need to use iterateMountainArea() method from drawing manager which draws filled area. So you’ll need to modify your internalDraw and add this call:

    override fun internalDraw(renderContext: IRenderContext2D, assetManager: IAssetManager2D, renderPassData: ISeriesRenderPassData) {
    // Don't draw transparent series
    val opacity = opacity
    if (opacity == 0f) return

    val strokeStyle = strokeStyle
    if (strokeStyle == null || !strokeStyle.isVisible) return

    val currentRenderPassData = renderPassData as MountainRenderPassData

    computeSplineSeries(splineXCoords, splineYCoords, currentRenderPassData, isSplineEnabled, upSampleFactor)

    val linesStripDrawingContext = DrawingContextFactory.LINES_STRIP_DRAWING_CONTEXT
    val triangleStripDrawingContex = DrawingContextFactory.TRIANGLES_STRIP_DRAWING_CONTEXT

    val pen = assetManager.createPen(strokeStyle, opacity)
    val brush = assetManager.createBrush(SolidBrushStyle(strokeStyle.color))

    val digitalLine = currentRenderPassData.isDigitalLine
    val closeGaps = currentRenderPassData.closeGaps

    val drawingManager = services.getService(ISeriesDrawingManager::class.java)
    drawingManager.beginDraw(renderContext, currentRenderPassData)

    drawingManager.iterateMountainArea(triangleStripDrawingContex, brush, splineXCoords, splineYCoords, digitalLine, closeGaps, getYZeroCoord(renderPassData.yCoordinateCalculator))
    drawingManager.iterateLines(linesStripDrawingContext, pen, splineXCoords, splineYCoords, digitalLine, closeGaps)

    drawingManager.endDraw()

    drawPointMarkers(renderContext, assetManager, currentRenderPassData.xCoords, currentRenderPassData.yCoords)
}

Also I noticed that your code throws exception which could be the cause of the missing series – it looks that it’s cause by wrong format string in CubicSpline implementation and the debug = true which you pass in fitAndEval() call. If you pass debug = false everything should be OK

ys = cubicSpline.fitAndEval(x, y, size, xs, java.lang.Float.NaN, java.lang.Float.NaN, false)

Can you try it?

Best regards,
Yura

    Thanks Yura. I will try that. The debug with false also gives the same result. I have narrowed it down to something to do with the visibleRange. When I start populating the series the series doesn’t appear it remains the same even when I recreate it but when the scrolling starts and I recreate the graph it doesn’t disappear. I also found that I keep getting “The X values to evaluate must be sorted” I am not sure why this stops on recreating after the condition is met. I am also seeing multiple index out of bounds at `(1 – t) * yOrig!![j] + t * yOrig!![j + 1] + t * (1 – t) * (a[j] * (1 – t) + b[j] * t)` in the evalSpline.

    Well you should understand that SplineRenderableSeries was created as example which shows how to create custom renderable series. Code which you used as base provided as is without any guaranties (it isn’t production ready, may contain bugs because it shouldn’t cover all possible cases which would make code more complicated and we try to make example as simple as possible), you can modify it as you want but creation custom series for you isn’t covered by our support policy. If you find some bug in our examples (like this issue with sorted x values) please report it by creating ticket with detailed steps to reproduce.
