I have created a HeatMap with the size of 25000 x 70. The application crashes with the following log:

Below is Kotlin code from my sample project that produces the error:

private const val WIDTH = 25000
private const val HEIGHT = 70

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity()
{
    private lateinit var chartBuilder: SciChartBuilder

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

        SciChartSurface.setRuntimeLicenseKey(getString(R.string.sciChart_license))
        SciChartBuilder.init(this)
        chartBuilder = SciChartBuilder.instance()

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
        val background = findViewById<ViewGroup>(R.id.background)

        val chartSurface = createChartSurface()
        background.addView(chartSurface)

        addPoints(chartSurface)
    }

    private fun createChartSurface(): SciChartSurface
    {
        val surface = SciChartSurface(this)

        val xAxis = chartBuilder.newNumericAxis().build()
        val yAxis = chartBuilder.newNumericAxis().build()

        surface.xAxes.add(xAxis)
        surface.yAxes.add(yAxis)

        surface.renderableSeries.add(createSeries(WIDTH, HEIGHT))

        return surface
    }

    private fun createSeries(width: Int, height: Int): FastUniformHeatmapRenderableSeries
    {
        val dataSeries = UniformHeatmapDataSeries(Int::class.javaObjectType, Int::class.javaObjectType, Float::class.javaObjectType, width, height)

        return chartBuilder.newUniformHeatmap()
            .withColorMap(ColorMap(intArrayOf(ColorUtil.DarkBlue, ColorUtil.CornflowerBlue, ColorUtil.DarkGreen, ColorUtil.Chartreuse, ColorUtil.Yellow, ColorUtil.Red), floatArrayOf(0f, 0.2f, 0.4f, 0.6f, 0.8f, 1f)))
            .withDataSeries(dataSeries)
            .build()
    }

    private fun addPoints(chartSurface: SciChartSurface)
    {
        @Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST")
        val dataSeries = chartSurface.renderableSeries.first().dataSeries as UniformHeatmapDataSeries<Int, Int, Float>

        val xRange = 0 until WIDTH

        for (i in 0 until HEIGHT)
        {
            val values = xRange.map { (i + it).toFloat() }
            dataSeries.updateRangeZAt(0, i, values)
        }

        val renderableSeries = chartSurface.renderableSeries.first() as FastUniformHeatmapRenderableSeries
        renderableSeries.minimum = dataSeries.zValues.minimum.toDouble()
        renderableSeries.maximum = dataSeries.zValues.maximum.toDouble()
    }
}

Hi Miha,

I’m not sure that it’s a bug, you just reached limitation of OpenGL texture size which we use to draw heatmap. FastUniformHeatmapRenderableSeries just wasn’t designed for drawing of so large heatmaps and I’m not sure if there is something we can do without rewriting entire series. Anyway I logged this issue into our bug tracker and we’ll try to improve situation in one of our next releases.

Best regards,
Yura

    Thank you for your answer. I guess I will now try to implement s custom renderable series as you suggested in another answer.

    Hi Yura, I am also interested in this topic. Is there a way that we can determine the maximum OpenGL texture size (width and height) before creating the FastUniformHeatmapRenderableSeries? Thanks.

I think the heatmap is limited by maximum texture size in OpenGL. Query that using code like this.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26981125/get-opengl-max-texture-size

int[] maxTextureSize = new int[1];
GLES10.glGetIntegerv(GL10.GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE, maxTextureSize, 0);

or 

Canvas canvas = new Canvas();
canvas.getMaximumBitmapHeight() / 8

Then you can tile heat maps. For example, this case study was created by tiling Heatmaps in our Windows version of SciChart. They achieved a total of 100 million cells (10M x 10M)!

Best regards,
Andrew
