Questions

Hi,

We want to implement averaging of data points when you zoom into a graph.
We have implemented pre-processed average plotting – and this works for certain cases.
Basically, you see less point markers when you zoom out a certain level (point marker will show averaged points), and when you zoom in, point markers show increased sample points – in real time.

1. Is there a an API that enables this capability and determining when the averaging happens (at what zoom level) and the averaging period (to average values over)?
2. If there isn’t an API, can you point us in the right direction to implement such feature?

Hi,

I would like to display all the hours of the day in X axis e.g 01 to 24 and I haven’t been able to achieve it yet, I tried use date delta but I couldn’t figure out how it really works, could you please share a code snippet or some example.

Thanks

Hi Team,

When we except this feature

Hi Guys,

I am implementing the column chart, but the xAxis value is duplicate when I scroll the chart. Please see the images attachment.

Here are the piece of code, and wandering what cause this, thx!

Hello, I was using version 4.2 before but I updated to version 4.4 last week. I am using candlestick chart in my project and show the chart in various time frames. These time periods include 1 day, 1 hour, 15 minutes, 1 minute and so on. Before the update to v4.4, when 1 time zone was selected, the example would show 09:00, 10:00, and on the 5 minute graph it would show as 09:00, 09:05, 09:10. After updating, it shows 09:00 instead of 09:05 when 5 minutes is selected, and 09:00 instead of 09:19 when 1 minute is selected. I want the date data that I added to the chart to be displayed as it is. I am also attaching screenshots for better understanding.
How can I fix this error I got? There is no problem with the data I have shown in the chart, it sounds as I want, but when I transfer it to the chart, it does not show as I want.

Hello, I was using version 4.2 before, but today I updated to version 4.4. I was using the updateCurrentPoint function in the CustomRolloverModifier in my project, but this function has changed in version 4.3. How can I use the updateCurrentPoint function in version 4.4?

Hello, I am a new developer who continues to develop scichart. In the currentPoint (or its name may be different) created after clicking in the developed application, the changes made on the graphic (changing the data, changing the graphic type, zooming in or out of the graphic, etc.), leaving these points where they are, breaks the graphic. In these cases, I need to either remove the point or make it move with the graph. how can I do that? I am developing with java. I uploaded the problem I encountered as a gif, you can understand it more clearly when you watch it.

Hi. For example, I set yAxis VisibleRange(-100, 100), but I need to see only 3 gridlines: -100, 0 and 100. I cannot find how to remove other gridlines.

Hi,

Our current chart setup is as follows: 2 charts, each with 2 line series (~23k data points per line series – datetime [x-axis], double[y-axis]), data is added to the line series in real-time and all data is retained (never deleted). Both charts share a motion events group (pinchzoom, rollover, xaxisdrag, zoomextents).

If you zoom in to the furthest zoom possible, the chart/app starts to act extremely sluggish, then crashes eventually. – see attached txt file for logs.

Questions:

1. Is there a method to tackle this from a performance perspective and still enable zooming to the utmost limit?
2. If 1.) is not possible, is it possible to enact a zoom limit on the charts?

Other solution suggestions are welcome.

We are working on an android based ELD application. We are looking for a ELD graph. Is it possible to accomplish this using SCICHART?

I have a strange padding in the end of the chart. I set drawLabels false and added annotations to it. And added makerPoint for the last point. So everything is clipped by this padding.

You can see this on the screenshot in the attachment

I want to format my labels after tapping a radio button. But the major labels with the “dd mm” pattern and the minor labels with the “HH:mm” pattern. If I check the radio button in the radio button group the labels will format with the others formats. It works with TradeChartAxisLabelProvider but I can’t handle it with my own formats. What I have to use?

What is the best way to form List with my formatted dates in the View Model and just put in my implementation of CategoryLabelProviderBase?

Can an AxisBase implementation help me in this case?

I have a chart and a radio button group. When I click a button an app will load new data. And it works ok. But sometimes my chart doesn’t scroll to start when data is changed. I changed visibleRange for it. It can be fixed with postDelayed method but is there any good way to fix it?

My code:

enter link description here

I get an error when I scroll my chart. I didn’t change my code. It worked yesterday and it doesn’t today. I just started getting:

VisibleRange was restored to its last valid value. The range class com.scichart.data.model.DoubleRange (Min = 0.0, Max = 307.0) either is not valid or it doesn’t satisfy MinimalZoomConstrain or MaximumZoomConstrain. To provide fallback value please override AxisCore#coerceVisibleRange(IRange) method

I tried to make my MinimalZoomConstrain to zero and MaximumZoomConstrain to maximum. But it didn’t help me. I tried override coerceVisibleRange but I don’t kwon how

I want to make my labels positions in the centre of axis (y axis which is transparent). Only three labels have to be showed. On the same height with the min, max and actual points. How can I achieve this.

I looked at this answer for WPF.

Is there a similar option to get the dimensions in mm on Android?

Hello
My question is, if I buy a program license, where should I put the license ? If I statically place it in the application class, it can be easily accessed by decompiling the apk file and it can be stolen by others.

Real Time EEG LiVE chart of 24 channels, jumps two x minor gridlines at a time . How to make it to move one gridline at a time ?

Is there any setting for that ?

Now we have 24 channels added to one graph which is visible in one page or one screen of the mobile. Can we make it two pages or add a scroll bar and devide the channels into 12 each without two different scichart components

I am using stepped yaxis graph – ECG example from your demo set. How do i control the speed of the live graph.
I want to makethe live graph a bit slow. Is there any setting or configuration to be modified to slow the graph. please let us know

We are using single SurfaceMeshRenderableSeries3D chart and added multidata on condition click event but issue is sometime data is loaded or sometime not. So my question is how to refresh 3D chart after added new data ?

Hi.
I have a line chart where i add data continuously from different sensors.
The code looks like this

protected open fun setupChart() {
    surface = requireView().findViewById(R.id.sciChartId)
    xAxis = NumericAxis(context).apply {
        autoRange = AutoRange.Always
        drawMajorGridLines = false
        drawMajorBands = false
        drawMinorGridLines = false
    }
    yAxis = NumericAxis(context).apply {

        drawMajorGridLines = false
        drawMajorBands = false
        drawMinorGridLines = false
        axisAlignment = AxisAlignment.Left
        // axisId ="First id"
    }
    dataSeries1 = XyDataSeries(Double::class.javaObjectType, Double::class.javaObjectType).apply {
        seriesName = "Line A"
        acceptsUnsortedData = true
    }

    val line1Color = Color.BLACK // ColorUtil.argb(0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0x00)

    val line1 = FastLineRenderableSeries().apply {
        strokeStyle = SolidPenStyle(line1Color, true, 1F, null)
        dataSeries = dataSeries1
        // yAxisId = "SecondId"
    }

    val legendModifier = LegendModifier(context).apply {
        setLegendPosition(Gravity.TOP or Gravity.START, 16)
        setOrientation(Orientation.VERTICAL)
        setSourceMode(SourceMode.AllSeries)
    }
    series.add(line1)

    UpdateSuspender.using(surface) {
        surface.xAxes.add(xAxis)
        surface.yAxes.add(yAxis)
        // surface.yAxes.add(yAxisTwo)
        surface.renderableSeries.addAll(series)
        surface.chartModifiers.add(legendModifier)
        surface.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE)

        series.forEach {
            AnimationsHelper.createAnimator(
                it,
                SweepXyTransformation(XyRenderPassData::class.java),
                3000,
                350,
                DecelerateInterpolator(),
                FloatEvaluator(),
                0f,
                1f
            ).start()
        }
    }

    addXAxisDragModifier()
    addZoomPanModifier()
    addZoomExtentModifier()
    addPinchZoom()
    surface.zoomExtents()
}

And the code adding data looks like this

dataSeries1.append(value, someOtherValue)

I understand that zooming is not possible when you set AutoRange to Always.
However i have not seen any working example where zooming is enabled at the same time as you add data continually.
Is it possible to zoom at all with real time without setting autoRange and if yes can you refer to any working example you have

thank you for answer !

Additional questions

q1. last data only marker
q2. vertical dotted line (with rolloverModifier)

Hi team,
Im using scicharts inside recyclerview and for some reasons im getting out of memory exception while loading or scrolling through the list.I’m not getting the issue everytime the page loads though.Is there something to do with optimization. The sample size to load the charts are high actually

q1. How do I change the rollovermodifier’s vertical line to a dotted line?rolloverModifier.getVerticalLinePaint().setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);This source doesn’t seem to work

q2. I wonder how to display markers only on the last data of the line chart.

q3. I am wondering how to make the background transparent, how to make the grid transparent on the background.

Hi team,

In my app,i’m using a custom rollover modifier as tool tip.I am representing y axis value (numerical value) in tooltip.I would like to have decimal places upto 3 digits in tooltip.do you have any suggestion to how i could achieve this. i’m attaching current screenshot along with this question.

Thanks

Hello,

I am currently working on an DateTimeAxis where I am trying to display the labels in two hours intervals. So far it is working well but I have noticed when working with different timezones , if the timezone is odd, the labels display only odd numbers. When the timezone is even however the labels are even as well (eg. get-4 displays labels such as 2pm 4pm 6pm 8pm while gmt-7 displays 1pm 3pm 5pm 7pm)
I have played around with hours and dates to try to dynamically adjust the min and max visible ranges depending on if the current time is even or odd but that doesn’t affect at all the labels even after providing the major deltas and range.

does anyone know how to fix this issue? I want even labels regardless of the situation.
