Questions

Have recently converted to xcode 10 and swift 4.2.

Am now receiving this error message on build.

SciChart.framework/SciChart
Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:
/usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib: mach-o, but not built for iOS simulator

Any ideas?

Hi Sir/Madam,
I have created a Mountain Series with gradient fill. below is part of my code:

-(SCIRenderableSeriesBase *)getTimeSharePlot:(SCIXyDataSeries*)xySeries{
    SCIFastMountainRenderableSeries * rSeries = [SCIFastMountainRenderableSeries new];
    rSeries.dataSeries = xySeries;
    rSeries.strokeStyle = [[SCISolidPenStyle alloc] initWithColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:0 green:0 blue:0 alpha:1] withThickness:1];
    rSeries.areaStyle = [[SCILinearGradientBrushStyle alloc] initWithColorStart:[UIColor colorWithRed:32/255.0 green:56/255.0 blue:124/255.0 alpha:1.0] finish:[UIColor whiteColor] direction:SCILinearGradientDirection_Vertical];

    return rSeries;
}

When i run the test, the chart is just filling with solid color
Would you please help?
BR,
Tommy

Hi

I am developing a Xamarin iOS application and I’m using a SCIPieChartSurface. I can create the chart and set its values, but it is not possible to auto-update the donut with new data.
I am trying to update the value by doing:

myDonut.MyPieSegment.Value = newValue;

But nothing happends…

I’m trying to make a chart with a “toggle function”.

The “toggle function” what i wanted to make is this.

1. enter to UIViewController which Chart is in it
2. before singleTap on a chart, a chart has zoomPanModifier, XAxisDragModifier,, etc
3. after make singleTap on the chart, that chart has only CursorModifier.
4. CursorModifier’s UI stays on chart without disappearing and i can move crossed line to specific point i want (just like what CursorModifier originally does)
5. another single tap on chart would make a chart to have all other modifiers but CursorModifer.

–

What I have made successfully was 1,2,3,5 . not 4.

The way i was going to solve this problem was make fake touch event on Chart view and
snatch UIGestureRecognizer Event and let ChartView think they’re being touched till I give stop signal

But I heard that there is no more way to pass fake touch to UIView.

So I’m feeling difficulty on this problem…..

is there any easy way to solve this problem?

–

TL;DR;

I WANT TO MAKE CURSORMODIFIER’ UI STAYS ON A CHART!

I heard it was a bug in the API for Android a month ago, is this similar? Or am I doing something wrong?

Hi,
Im tryin to create an effect where I have a static point on the Y Axis and I want to perform zoom in, so what I did is to increase or decrease the Max visible range, what I’m left with is the rubber band effect where my static point isn’t static anymore because the point in “Stretching” in the direction I’m zooming.

I have just learned how to use sci-chart framework with tutorials.
And I tried to add values from bluetooth as realtime chart as shown in tutorials.
I have finished receiving data from a Bluetooth connection.
However, using scichart to represent this data in real time is hard to solve by looking at the tutorial alone.
Does anyone have any idea how to use real-time tutorials to teach you how to represent your own data, not the example sine graph?

The code below is what I tried and is wrong.

Hi,
we are using an UICollectionView to display different kinds of views in our application, including charts created with SciChart. We noted that every time a cell with a SciChart is loaded, some memory is allocated and not freed when the cell disappears, which leads to a massive memory leak and eventually crashes the application.
Is there a way to free SciChart resources on demand? Or maybe you suggest another solution to solve this issue?
Regards,
Anna

Hello,

I am unable to install SciChart pod.
The podfile has multiple pods with multiple platforms and source.
I get the error saying ” [!] Unable to find a specification for ‘SciChart’.”
Please advice..

use_frameworks!

pod 'UICircularProgressRing'
pod 'Alamofire'

platform :ios, '8.0'
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'

pod 'SideMenu'

source 'https://github.com/ABTSoftware/PodSpecs.git'
pod 'SciChart', :git => 'https://github.com/ABTSoftware/PodSpecs.git'

Hi,
I am creating iOS aplication which displays charts based on stocks data.
I want to create box annotations to show when market is open or closed.
I am using CategoryDateTimeAxis to display data but when i add AnnotationCollection with BoxAnnotations to Surface i can not see the annotations.

This is my code for creating box Annotation:

    let pre = SCIBoxAnnotation()
    pre.coordinateMode = .relative
    pre.x1 = SCIGeneric(setDate(date, 4, 0, 0)!)
    pre.x2 = SCIGeneric(setDate(date, 9, 30, 0)!)
    pre.y1 = SCIGeneric(max )
    pre.y2 = SCIGeneric(0)
    pre.isEditable = false
    pre.style.fillBrush = SCISolidBrushStyle(color: #colorLiteral(red: 0.01680417731, green: 0.1983509958, blue: 1, alpha: 0.13))
    pre.style.borderPen = SCISolidPenStyle(color: .clear, withThickness: 0)

I’ve downloaded yesterday showcase example from your github: https://github.com/ABTSoftware/SciChart.iOS.Examples

After providing license key other samples work ok except Audio Analyzer (and the last sales dashboard – shows blank screen).

Problems is somewhere with SpectrogramSurfaceController ( If I commend it out wave plot and fft plot works)

Xcode shows there is some bad memory access at:
[SCIFastUniformHeatMapRenderableSeries internalDrawWithContext:WithData:]
cblas_sscal

Tested using:
iPhone 5SE
iOS 11.2.5
Xcode 9.2

I would like to restrict the chart to cap at the extents while panning, but chart stretches at the extents. I could able to set clip mode for X axis in SCIZoomPanModifier, same way I would like to set clip mode Y axis but I couldn’t.

Please help me to restrict my chart to not move after chart data extents.

Thanks,
Vadivel Muniswamy.

When I embed my view controller in a navigation controller the top of the chart is hidden behind the navigation bar. So I went to the storyboard and found the view controller attributes section called “extend edges” and turned off the option called “under top bars”. This fixes the top of the chart. Now the bottom of the chart drops off the bottom of the screen. The x-axis is completely missing. Does SciChart support this case?

I need someone to develop this chart for me and I will provide a JSON, for the data.

Please go to time line 3:22

I have been struggling in the documentation and if someone can create this chart for me, I will be more than happy to pay you.

The chart would have to be created for Swift 4 please.

I have a Xamarin forms Project with one page of my app containing a SciChart. On that page, I have a RelativeLayout.

In the code behind for that page, I pass my layout to a dependency service method which adds the SciChartSurface to it depending on the platform. This has tested well on various Android platforms.

For iOS, I’ve tested on a device running iOS 9 and simulators running 9, 10, and 11. And any run less than 11 does not display. The view is simply blank.

Here’s the code where I add the SciChartSurface to the view.. I’m still new to SciChart, so I’m not sure if I’m doing everything totally correct.

public void renderSciChart(Xamarin.Forms.RelativeLayout masterLayout, Xamarin.Forms.RelativeLayout topLayout)
    {


        SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCIChartSurface Surface = new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCIChartSurface();
        Surface.TranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = true;
        SciChart.iOS.Charting.XyDataSeries<double, double> dataSeries = new SciChart.iOS.Charting.XyDataSeries<double, double>();
        //generateDataPoints(dataSeries);
        var xAxis = new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCINumericAxis{/*GrowBy = new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCIDoubleRange(0.1, 0.1), VisibleRange = new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCIDoubleRange(1.1,2.7)*/};
        var yAxis = new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCINumericAxis();
        var renderableSeries = new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCIFastLineRenderableSeries { DataSeries = dataSeries, StrokeStyle = new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCISolidPenStyle(0xFF279B27, 2f) };
        using (Surface.SuspendUpdates())
        {
            Surface.XAxes.Add(xAxis);
            Surface.YAxes.Add(yAxis);
            Surface.RenderableSeries.Add(renderableSeries);
            Surface.ChartModifiers = new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCIChartModifierCollection
            {
                new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCIZoomPanModifier(),
                new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCIPinchZoomModifier(),
                new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCIZoomExtentsModifier(),
            };
        }

        masterLayout.Children.Add(Surface.ToView(),
        widthConstraint: Constraint.RelativeToParent(parent => parent.Width),
        heightConstraint: Constraint.RelativeToParent(parent => parent.Height * 0.5),
        yConstraint: Constraint.RelativeToView(topLayout, (RelativeLayout, element) => element.Height));
    }

Additionally, here’s a Screenshot of the same code running on a simulator with iOS 10 (Left) and iOS 11 (Right).

Could I have a date please.

is it possible for the December or more likely for January?

https://www.scichart.com/documentation/ios/v2.x/Tutorial%2002%20-%20Creating%20a%20SciChartSurface.html

Can someone please point me to where I can complete this tutorial.

Why end this tutorial like this??

// That’s it! The SCIChartSurface will now display on the screen with default axis ranges

As is, it simply displays the x and y values. Nothing else.

How can I add my x and y values so that I can display my graph

Hi!
I am going through the showcase example for the spectrogram and I had a confusion on the sizeX and Y parameter of SCIUniformHeatmapDataSeries. Are these sizes as per the width and height of the surfaceChart ? I am going to plot an array of data. How do I determine the correct sizes for X and Y.
Moreover, is it necessary that the size array used for updating the dataSeries has to be (xSize*ySize)?

I’m attempting to integrate some of the tutorial swift code into my app and I’m getting stuck on this error. Seems like some macro isn’t running.

“Use of unresolved identifier ‘SCIGeneric'”

Code is like this: lineDataSeries.appendX(SCIGeneric(i), y: SCIGeneric(sin(Double(i))*0.01))

I’ve done “import SciChart” and most things seem to work fine except this. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi, guys

Please take look at:
http://prntscr.com/gmmib5

So my question is

Is there a way to highlight a line of a gridlines to which the label belong? It can be a color changed or something similar that can be easily perceived by the user.

Best regards,
Sushynski Andrei

Hi, guys

I’m very sad because of you.

On my chart i’m added SCIZoomPanModifier with clip mode SCIClipMode_ClipAtExtents. And it well worked before i have updated lib to ‘2.0.1.1748’. Now it’s works the same way as SCIClipMode_StretchAtExtents. But i don’t want to zoom by scrolling at the edge of data.

Can you look at it and fix as soon as possible?

Best regards,
Sushynski Andrei

Hello,
I’m following along with the tutorial. I installed using the pod. I am at the end of Tutorial 3 and am getting an error. Use of unresolved Identifier ‘SciGeneric’. I can see I have the wrapper file in my project. Any Ideas what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks
Warren

Hi everyone,

I have a scroll view containing (among others) subviews with SciChart surfaces. I use this method:

 [self.scrollView.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];

… to take a screenshot of the whole scroll view (render it as a UIImage). All charts are rendered as black rectangles. Same thing happens if I use “Capture view hierarchy” in XCode – black rectangles where there should be a chart.

Any ideas?

Hello!

I am building an iOS framework that sits on top of SciChart for app developers within our company. I’d like to provide my own default SCIThemeColorProvider object for charts in my framework. Easiest way to do that is to include my own theme plist in my framework’s bundle, but I cannot currently do that (as of 2.0.0.1643) because the SCIThemeColorProvider initializer assumes it’s either in the “Charting.SciChart” bundle or the main bundle.

I’d like to propose modifying SCIThemeColorProvider to add another initializer that takes a bundle ID, like this:

/**
 * Creates theme provider based on specified style
 *
 * @param themeKey The key of style which should be used as base for this theme provider
 *
 * @param bundleIdentifier The identifier of the bundle containing the theme plist identified by 
 *                         themeKey; if nil, the main bundle is used.
 */
- (nullable instancetype)initWithThemeKey:(nonnull NSString*)themeKey bundleIdentifier:(nullable NSString*)bundleIdentifier;

The existing -initWithThemeKey: initializer would call through to this initializer with a nil bundle ID.

I have attached a patch file with this proposed change. Could this be added to an upcoming build?

Hi, guys

My x axis is SCICategoryDateTimeAxis and i’m want to draw grid line with custom period. Let’s say every four hours for data with a period of thirty minutes. What is the best way for that?

Can i redifined axis’s tickCoordinatesProvider?
Can you provide some example?
Or it only possible with axes annotations ?

Best regards,
Sushynski Andrei

Hi, guys

Is there something similar like

• (void)bringSubviewToFront:(UIView *)view;
• (void)sendSubviewToBack:(UIView *)view;

from UIView but for chart Annotations?

Best regards,
Sushynski Andrei

On device, there is an unwanted border line on the SCIChartSurface. Please refer to the screenshot.

I tried removing this by setting the border width and setting it’s colour as white as below
self.surface.view.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor whiteColor]CGColor];
self.surface.view.layer.borderWidth = 2.0f;
However, this does not set the border of the SCIChartSurface.

How do I remove this unwanted border line?

Hey everyone,

SCIThemeColorProvider has styling properties for individual types of chart elements (annotations, axes, grid lines, renderable series). How can multiple colours be assigned to individual RenderableSeries in case there are more than one?

For example, a stacked column chart will surely have more that one data series and it appears that current implementation of SCIThemeColorProvider doesn’t take this into account from architectural point of view.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Igor
