Hi , many of the charts provide a way to set the date on the x axis for the data series and that makes the axis match the DataSeries value defined for that axis, but for heatmap dataseries when you define xType as date the xAxis of type date is not displaying on surface, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong and there is no sample for dates on GitHub , the samples only use int , would be great if you can provide a date sample for the heatmap , thanks

Hi guys,

I want to show x value on chart bar itself as shown in the attached image along with this query. I tried using annotation where I need to give x and y value each time and it look not appropriate in the 2 data series column chart using, instead of that I need easy way to represent label of bar value on graph bar.

please suggest if any.

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,

I have some troubles with piecharts in swift. I want to provide custom labels outside of the piecharts segments. I found a screenshot of a nested piechart attached to an issue in your issue tracker. Thats what I want to do in swift, but I couldn’t find out a way to do so. Could you please provide an example code?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hey everyone, my team currently has Scicharts for WPF set up and functioning the way we want it too.

We are moving to Xamarin and have tested Scicharts in a Xamarin.Forms project working for Android/iOS and Windows WPF.
The next step was to install Visual Studios for Mac, and setup a new Xamarin.Forms project and pull the code from the windows version of our Xamarin.Forms project. For windows we use a custom renderer to get the scicharts to work for all platforms available on the windows version. For Mac, we are trying to get a custom renderer set up to load the swift version of the Scicharts for Mac. It’s not going so well.

Can anyone provide details on if it’s possible to get a xaramarin.forms project to load the scicharts for mac framework?

Thanks

NOTE** I picked iOS because for some reason MacOS wasn’t in the list of platforms

Hi, I want to set yaxis labels outside the chart but unable to find any solution please help.

I’m updating some code that was written against SciChart iOS v2. We have one graph in that code that relied on removeFromLegend in a renderable series, to prevent the legend from getting ridiculous long.

As an example, suppose we have Western Earth, Western Wind, Western Fire, Eastern Earth, Eastern Wind, and Eastern Fire. Each element is styled the same, no matter where it’s located. In the legend, we only want to see Earth, Wind, and Fire. Our actual list of series is much longer…4 “elements”, up to 8 locations, making 32 legend entries, with 28 duplicates.

What’s the replacement for removeFromLegend? How do I prevent these duplications?

I had recently integrated SciChart into my app, and faced some problems with chat appearance on trial mode which are described here: https://www.scichart.com/questions/ios/issue-with-scichart-on-ios-simulator
Due to this problems I tried to run my app on an actual device, and got this build error from Xcode:

”’
ld: building for iOS, but linking in dylib file (/Users/ruslansabirov/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/exinity-aupulhpegzsnlfcrnqfiwnvnljpj/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/SciChart.framework/SciChart) built for iOS Simulator, file ‘/Users/ruslansabirov/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/exinity-aupulhpegzsnlfcrnqfiwnvnljpj/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/SciChart.framework/SciChart’ for architecture arm64

How can I fix this problem?

I was trying to test SciChart on simulator, but I have a problem: I added chart surface on my view, and after I launch an app, SciChart is showing me this text on the screen :
“Hardware rendering performance of SciChart in simulator is SLOW. Please use an actual device to feel the real-world performance”
How do I remove this text and test my charts on the simulator?

While moving the rollover cursor, if the number of series under the cursor increases, the rollover cursor labels become wrongly positioned. This ViewController subclass Swift example reproduces the problem.

import UIKit
import SciChart


class ViewController: UIViewController {
    // Surface is added in Storyboard
    @IBOutlet weak var surface: SCIChartSurface!
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        let xAxis = SCINumericAxis()
        let yAxis = SCINumericAxis()
        xAxis.visibleRange = SCIDoubleRange(min: 0, max: 260)
        yAxis.visibleRange = SCIDoubleRange(min: -5, max:12)
        yAxis.autoRange = .never

        self.surface.chartModifiers.add(items: SCIRolloverModifier())
        self.surface.xAxes.add(xAxis)
        self.surface.yAxes.add(yAxis)
        self.surface.renderableSeries.add(items:

        )
    }

        let series = SCIXyDataSeries(xType: .double, yType: .double)
        xValues.forEach { series.append(x: $0, y: yValue ) }
        let rSeries = SCIFastLineRenderableSeries()
        rSeries.dataSeries = series

Hi,

I’m trying to convert Java code to swift and I need the AnnotationLabel’s setAxisLabelStyle equivalent.

AnnotationLabel annotationLabel = new AnnotationLabel(getContext());
annotationLabel.setLabelPlacement(LabelPlacement.Axis);

            annotationLabel.setAxisLabelStyle(new Action1<AnnotationLabel>()
            {
                @Override
                public void execute(AnnotationLabel annotationLabel)
                {
                    annotationLabel.setFontStyle(new FontStyle(37.0f, Color.BLUE));
                    annotationLabel.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.current_price);
                }
            });

How can i apply this code in swift?

SciChart 3.1.0.5175 running on iOS 13.6

Please see this short video which demonstrates the issue: https://youtu.be/HjtWZDZeyXM

I have a chart showing a single Spline data series. The data series never drops below zero, yet the chart shows multiple points where the line drops below zero as you zoom in and out. This behavior changes as the zoom level changes.

Is this expected behavior for the spline chart? Is there a way to change the behavior so the chart does not show these sub-zero points?

Hello,
I’m trying to convert Android (Java) code to iOS (Swift), and I need to create a custom SCIZoomPanModifier. In the android code, onFling, onDown, and onDown were overridden, but I can’t seem to do that in iOS. How can I override onFling, onDown, and onUp in iOS to mimic the android code?

Thanks

Currently we have two graph surfaces with two Y axes on each side and we need all of the Y axes to have fixed width size. Until now we were achieving that like this:
topGraphSurface.LeftAxisAreaForcedSize = 45;
topGraphSurface.RightAxisAreaForcedSize = 45;
bottomGraphSurface.LeftAxisAreaForcedSize = 45;
bottomGraphSurface.RightAxisAreaForcedSize = 45;

but since updating to the new SciChart v3 we get the error “SciChartSurface does not contain a definition for (Left)AxisAreaForcedSize”. I couldn’t find any information about this in the Migration guide, so is there a way to achieve this in the new version?

Hello

In the real-time line chart, I want an animation like the video(link below).
Can you be provided with animations such as a point where a point drawn in real time continues to blink?

I am setting SCIDateTimeAxis as my XAxis by using the code:

let xAxis = SCIDateTimeAxis()
xAxis.style.labelStyle.color = UIColor.darkGray
xAxis.textFormatting = “dd MMM”
xAxis.visibleRange = SCIDateRange(dateMin: 2019-07-29 11:30:00, max:2019-07-29 11:30:00)

As I have a requirement to change the application Language to THI.
How can I set the locale to the axis, so the label visible on the axis should displayed in THI language.

As right now it is always visible in english irrespective of the language like 1 sep, 20 sep, 10 oct, 30 oct, 20 nov .

Please help.

Thanks

Hello, I have tried to see if it is possible to show the rollover without showing any labels so that is is just a vertical bar. I was searching on StackOverflow and a few answers said it was not possible to omit any of the values from the graph. I did see that we can customize the cursor, is it possible to just have it be a vertical bar instead of a cross?? Then I could just use it instead of the default rollover.

I am linking a mockup we made of what we want to make. In the image, you have the graphic showing where the use as pressed, and above the graphic, we will show and update a graphic with the relevant information for that point.

Also, I will need to programmatically dismiss it so it will need to stay visible even if the user is panning or zooming.

See the screen shot (attached)

To dupe this start on the SciChart home page, select documentation, select iOS, then enter anything into the search box.

I get the same results with Chrome and Safari.

SciChart 3.1.0.5175
iOS 13.5
Xcode 10.15.5

If I am using the API incorrectly please let me know. I am not aware of any requirement to wait after using the SciChart API.

It appears the SCILegendModifier has some kind of timing bug. If you draw a chart on a surface with a legend, then clear the chart, then add another plot to the same surface you will notice the legend has stale data. However, if you clear the surface and wait a second before you add the new plot it will work as expected.

I created a sample Xcode project to demonstrate the issue. See the attachment chart.zip

I also created a video to demonstrate the issue: https://youtu.be/1JBTd1sfVgI

I have a workaround so this is not urgent, but I would like to remove the delay for my production release.

I’m tested on iPhone 8 (iOS 13.5.1) and iPad (iPadOS 13.5.1). On iPad the graph always works great but on iPhone sooner or later it always fails.

The exception is always “Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x11d927ffc)” in the application main:

int main(int argc, char * argv[]) {
@autoreleasepool {
return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class])); <–
}
}

in the task stack:

SciChart`XValuesProviderWrapper<int>::GetDoubleValue:
0x103b530e0 <+0>:  ldr    x8, [x0, #0x8]
  0x103b530e4 <+4>:  ldr    w8, [x8, w1, sxtw #2]   <--
0x103b530e8 <+8>:  scvtf  d0, w8
0x103b530ec <+12>: ret

The truth is, I have no idea what’s going on. .. Please, anyone know what might be happening?

Thank you very much!

I’m trying to clear a SCIUniformHeatmapDataSeries after connecting it to a SCIChartSurface, but it is very slow and energy consuming. However, if I clear the data series before it is connected to the sci chart, then the clearing is pretty fast. How can I clear the data series after it is connected to the chart surface quickly? Do I have to make a new data series, clear it, and connect to the scichartsurface every time I want to clear a data series? This is for iOS by the way.
EDIT: code

for i in 0..<data.MATRIX_COLUMNS {
        for j in 0..<data.MATRIX_ROWS  {
            data.ecm2DMatrix[i][j] = Double.nan
            SCIUpdateSuspender.usingWith(charts.ecmSurface) {
                self.data.ecmDataSeries.update(z:self.data.ecm2DMatrix[i][j], atX: i, y: j)
            }

I would like to change the color of chart legend, but have failed to find information on how can I do this for iOS. Any sort of tutorial would be highly appreciated.

Worst case scenario would be to create a custom theme that is based on Bright Spark theme and update legend parameters there, but for this I would need to know what exactly does Bright Spark theme looks like.

Looking forward to any recommendations.

Best Regards,
Paul.

Hi guys,

I’m currently evaluating SciChart on iOS using Swift. It seems to have an excellent level of customisation and is almost a drop-in fit for what were are looking for.

I’m creating a timeline chart of candlesticks which the user can pan through. However while the zooming of the Y axis keeps the candles nicely in frame, the zoom snaps into place instantly as the pan happens which is very disorienting. Searching the docs, I cannot see a way to cause a smooth animation as the chart automatically zooms in and out.

This is probably the only thing that we really need to do to make this product work for us so hopefully there is an answer to solve this for us!

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

We have an app where we need to specify a different width for each column. I have attached an image of the result we want. We are currently using “SCIFastColumnRenderableSeries” for the diagram, but all columns have a fixed width and I couldn’t find any way to modify it.

Do you have any suggestions how to accomplish this?

Thanks!

When I create a SCIChartSurface programmatically, following the Quick Start guide:
https://www.scichart.com/documentation/ios/current/creating-your-first-scichart-ios-app.html#adding-scichartsurface-purely-from-code

Functionally everything works as expected, but I see a series of these messages in the log:

   [CAMetalLayer nextDrawable] returning nil because allocation failed.

I do not see these messages when the SCIChartSurface is instantiated via a storyboard.

I am using an SCINumericAxis for my y-axis. I am setting the visibleRange to (Min = 28, Max = 76). I am leaving the minorsPerMajor to the default of 5. However when looking at my graph (attached) you can see that the major tick labels are actually every 6 minors, e.g. 30, 36, 42, etc. when they should be 30, 35, 40, etc for minorsPerMajor set to 5.

Please advise on how to fix this issue as my major tick labels should be every 5, not every 6.

I have followed the example at: https://www.scichart.com/documentation/ios/current/legend-modifier.html for creating a legend with a custom item.

The initial problem I am trying to solve is that the default legend has a black background but my chart is white. If I set the background of the legend to white, this is a problem because the series text is white, so you can’t read it any longer. Therefore in order to have a legend with a white background to match my chart, I needed custom legend items to be able to set the series text color to black.

I have created my ChartLegendCell.swift file based on the example and my ChartLegendCell.xib which has a UIView and a UILabel. I incorporate these into my code exactly as in the example. However the legend does not show up upon render. I added a breakpoint inside the ChartLegendCell.swift class and I see bindSeriesInfo method called twice per series. What I noticed is that the first time it is called, printing out self.bounds shows (0,0,230,35) which is correct, but the second time it is called self.bounds is (0,0,0,0).

Is there more code which needs to be added in the ChartLegendCell.swift to make sure the width and height aren’t 0?

Hi,

There is a strange displaying behavior of custom annotation. I added custom annotation using the code below.

let imageView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: imageName))
imageView.frame = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: CGSize(width: 10, height: 10))

let customAnnotation = SCICustomAnnotation()
customAnnotation.customView = imageView
customAnnotation.verticalAnchorPoint = .bottom
customAnnotation.horizontalAnchorPoint = .center
customAnnotation.set(x1: xCoordinate)
customAnnotation.set(y1: yCoordinate)
sciChartSurface?.annotations.add(items: customAnnotation)

The result looks good, but when I move surface left and right, custom annotation would go outside of bounds. Like the image I uploaded.

Please help me solve the issue.

Thanks.

I am trying to add a legend to my chart similar to how is done in the LegendChartView.swift code in the sample app. However the legend does not show and I get several NSLayoutConstraints conflicts such as this one:

[LayoutConstraints] Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints.   Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want.   Try this:       (1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect;       (2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it.  (
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x283528af0 UIButton:0x13c52d840.height == 25   (active)>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x2835285f0 UIButton:0x13c52d840.bottom == UIView:0x13c545060.bottom - 4   (active)>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x2835285a0 V:|-(4)-[UIButton:0x13c52d840]   (active, names: '|':UIView:0x13c545060 )>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x283528b40 'UIIBSystemGenerated' SCIDefaultLegendItem:0x13c543f90.top == UIView:0x13c545060.top   (active)>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x283528b90 'UIIBSystemGenerated' V:[UIView:0x13c545060]-(0)-|   (active, names: '|':SCIDefaultLegendItem:0x13c543f90 )>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x283529c20 'UIView-Encapsulated-Layout-Height' SCIDefaultLegendItem:0x13c543f90.height == 0   (active)>" )

Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint  <NSLayoutConstraint:0x283528af0 UIButton:0x13c52d840.height == 25   (active)>

The internal SCIDefaultLegendItems look to keep setting their width and height to 0 which causes conflicts with the underlying UIButton and UILabel components.

Any thoughts on how to get around this? My chart has four series. I have seen the article on drawing the legend outside the chart surface area however I do not want to do that.

Thank you!

I have a question about the font of the label text. When the screen is captured and enlarged, the character has an outline border. Is there a way to get rid of this border? Japanese Kanji font is used.
Thank you.

When I add CursorModifier programmatically on long tap I have to remove my finger from screen and press it again In order to CursorModifier become visible

Is it possible to do the following?


1) scroll chart horizontally

2) long tap on screen

3) add CursorModifier programmatically and show it immediately

4) move CursorModifier(finger is still touching the screen)

5) remove finger from screen and remove CursorModifier so I can scroll again

Thank you for reply in advance!

Hello everyone.
We are trying to migrate to V3 in our iOS project and we have many issues.
One of the most important is the implementation of vertically-draggable horizontal lines.
I have a nice working code for SCICharts V2 but I cannot find any similar example of how we can implement a custom modifier for moving an SCIHorizontalLineAnnotation vertically in V3.
We have done it already with the V2 but now that we have to migrate to V3 there is a huge missing part in your documentation.
Our code was using-overiding onPanGesture() in order to figure out if the modifier should handle the touching event, then we were using the touch point in order to find the closer horizontal lines and choose the closest one in order to change the vertical value depending on the touching-changing point.
The only similar example that I found in your documentation (https://www.scichart.com/example/ios-custom-modifier/) is using SCIGestureModifier which is not accesible by the V3.
I am trying to use your SCIChartModifierBase class but cannot find anywhere a similar example of what we need.
I already tried to understand how you want us to use the ” override func onEvent(_ args: SCIModifierEventArgs!) ” function of the
SCIChartModifierBase but still no luck, it is impossible to figure out without any kind of a similar example.
The reason of needing an example is that this task needs much more information like these:
1. How to decide if the modifier should handle the touch event and how it should be ignored or handled by the next modifier in the same group ?
2. How to handle the touch started, changed, cancelled events ?
3. How to say in realtime to other modifiers in the same group that we need to to handle the same event simultaneously with this custom modifier ?
4. How to say to the group of modifiers that after the first modifer is taken the touch event then the rest should not use it ?

I will paste here our current implementation that we have done for V2 and needs to be transformed to V3 in case you need more details.

An important part is how we add the modifiers on the chart and this is how we are doing it right now:
let zoom = SCIPinchZoomModifier()
zoom.direction = .xDirection
let group = SCIChartModifierCollection(collection: [CustomModifier(chart: self),
PanModifier(),
zoom])
//group.handleGestureFirstOnly = true // Not existing in V3 anymore ! How should we do it in V3 ?
chart.chartModifiers = group

I believe that this code will be really useful for many people out there even for V2 or for migrating to V3.

Swift iOs code using SCICharts V2:

class Modifier: SCIGestureModifier {
private weak var control: ChartView?
private var editingProperty: ChartView.BindableProperty?
private var calculator: SCICoordinateCalculatorProtocol?

    init(chart: ChartView?) {
        self.control = chart
    }

    override func onPanGesture(_ gesture: UIPanGestureRecognizer?, at view: UIView?) -> Bool {

        guard let chart = view as? SCIChartSurface,
            let gesture_ = gesture
            else { return super.onPanGesture(gesture, at: view) }

        let location = gesture_.location(in: chart)
        switch gesture_.state {
        case .began:
            control?.sendActions(for: .touchDown)
            editingProperty = testForDraggableLine(location: location, in: chart)
            calculator = yAxis().getCurrentCoordinateCalculator()
            if editingProperty != nil {
                // Annotations on SciChart don't have Zindex and we want current line to be on the top
                let draggableLines = control?.chart.annotations.array.compactMap { $0 as? DraggableLine }
                if let myLine = draggableLines?.first(where: { $0.bindingKeyValue == editingProperty }) {
                    control?.chart.annotations.remove(myLine)
                    control?.chart.annotations.add(myLine)
                }
                control?.isTouchingLine(isTouching: editingProperty != nil)
            }
            return editingProperty != nil
        case .changed:
            if editingProperty != nil {
                handleDraggingLines(location: location, in: chart)
                return true
            }
        case UIGestureRecognizer.State.ended:
            if editingProperty != nil {
                control?.sendActions(for: .editingDidEnd)
                editingProperty = nil
                _ = control?.adjustYRange(force: true)
                control?.sendActions(for: .valueChanged)
                control?.refreshPositions()
                control?.isNotTouchingLine()
                return true
            }
        case UIGestureRecognizer.State.cancelled:
            if editingProperty != nil {
                control?.sendActions(for: .editingDidEnd)
                editingProperty = nil
                _ = control?.adjustYRange(force: true)
                control?.sendActions(for: .valueChanged)
                control?.refreshPositions()
                control?.isNotTouchingLine()
                return true
            }
        default:
            break
        }

        return false
    }

    private func handleDraggingLines(location: CGPoint, in chart: SCIChartSurface) {
        guard let renderSurface = chart.renderSurface,
            let yCalculator = self.calculator,
            let editingProperty = editingProperty else { return }

        let pointInChart = renderSurface.point(inChartFrame: location)
        let valueForYAxis = yCalculator.getDataValue(from: Double(pointInChart.y))
        control?.setValue(Decimal(valueForYAxis), forKey: editingProperty.rawValue)
    }

    // SOS: Filter possible properties that can be returned. We want to always avoid return - and then - dragging the current price bid or ask !
    private func testForDraggableLine(location: CGPoint, in chart: SCIChartSurface) -> ChartView.BindableProperty? {
        let hitTestDistance: Double = 30 // Pixels !
        let nearItems = chart.annotations.array
            .compactMap { $0 as? DraggableLine }
            .filter { item in
                return item.bindingKeyValue != ChartView.BindableProperty.ask &&
                    item.bindingKeyValue != ChartView.BindableProperty.bid &&
                    !item.isHidden &&
                    item.yDistance(from: location) <= hitTestDistance
            }
        return nearItems
            .sorted { $0.yDistance(from: location) < $1.yDistance(from: location) }
            .first?.bindingKeyValue
    }
}

When search this forum, I found that we can achieve it by adding point marker. But I am getting this error when trying to add point marker :
‘Operation: setPointMarker: is not avaliable on type: SCIHorizontallyStackedColumnsCollection’

let me know this feature(round top corners of bars) is availble or not ! Or is there any way to do this ?

If we set ClipMode.None we can pan infinitely to the uncharted space of left and right. this is fine.
But I want to do panning infinitely only to the left side. So I set ‘clipAtMax’. This is stop panning at right. But instead of panning infinity to the left, it is stretching the left part.
Any solution ?

Dear SCICharts support:
We have a very large project that must be migrated to version 3 because right it uses version 2.
I am stuck in the following issues:

1/ I cannot convert Double or Date to ISCIComparable.

Our x axis contains Date-timestamp values and I am trying to find the index of the dataseries.xValues of a specific Date having as parameter my Date value which is Date type and not ISCIComparable.
How can I do this ?

When I try my attempt 1:

let x: Double = <DoubleValue>
let index = dataSeries.xValues.findIndex(of: x, searchMode: .nearest, isSorted: true) 

I am getting the build error: “Cannot convert value of type ‘Date?’ to expected argument type ‘ISCIComparable?'”

When I try my attempt 2:

If I also try to iterate the xValues and find the ISCIComparable value which has doubleValue equal the x then I get the error “Type ‘ISCIList?’ does not conform to protocol ‘Sequence'”
I mean something like this:

let x: Date = Date()
var comparableValue: ISCIComparable? = nil
for val in dataSeries.xValues {
    if val.toDate() == x {
        comparableValue = val
    }
}

So any solution please ?

2/ I am trying to update the last point of dataSeries using this code:

let lastPoint = dataSeries.count - 1
if let open = dataSeries.openValues.value(at: lastPoint) {
        dataSeries.update( open: open,
                                    high: max(dataSeries.highValues().value(at: lastPoint).toDouble(), mbidPrice),
                                    low: min(dataSeries.lowValues().value(at: lastPoint).toDouble(), mbidPrice),
                                    close: mbidPrice,
                                    at: lastPoint)     }

and I get the error “Cannot convert value of type ‘ISCIComparable’ to expected argument type ‘ISCIValues?’ “
Why ? How should I do this ?

Thanks a lot in advance

We need to generate adhoc ipa file for review purpose and we are using the trial version, but its fails. Can you help us on the same?
