I’m using Xamarin.iOS and the SciChart.iOS NuGet. When adding a LabelProvider to an axis the iPhoneSimulator with iOS 13.2 crashes without warning or exception back to the phone menu. This issue is not present on Android using the same API usage pattern.

This effect is not just in my own apps but can be replicated by running the latest Examples app on the same simulator. Examples which demonstrate the same behaviour include “Custom Theme”, Stacked Column Side by Side Chart”, “Using Theme Manager”, all of which set the LabelProvider in the source code.

Is this a known bug? Maybe an incompatibility with the latest version of Xamarin.iOS.

I noticed that this issue has been reported before.

This is a deal breaker for us at the moment as formatting axis labels is pretty crucial.

Guys can you tell me please why I get this error after build on new `mac M1 chip and how to solve it:

error: unable to load standard library for target ‘arm64-apple-ios8.0’

Hello,

I would like to be able to change the rollover tooltip cursor color. It seems to be defaulted to the lineseries areastyle property color. I would like to be able to change it to a different color. I have not been able to find anything in the docs regarding how to do this.

Thank you

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

I’m trying to add annotations on a chart but they are rendering above my legend.

Initially (similar to most of the demo code I’ve seen), I setup my modifiers, then created my series and animated them in — then added my annotations (adding to annotationGroup). This created a timeline of blank chart surface with legend (good so far), annotations popping in before the chart series animated in (weird / not good) and on TOP of the legend (really bad), then the animation of the series after that.

I’ve tried about everything I can think of and the best I’ve been able to do is use a completion block of the animation rendering the series — and moved my chart modifiers (and legend) into that completion block. If I put the annotations in the completion block, they will render after the chart modifier and I have the same problem (even if placed after the chart modifiers). I have to set the annotations before the animation, and then the chart modifier in the completion block will work and the legend will be above the . Of course, this is a bit odd too — as first my annotations pop up by themselves on the blank surface, followed by my series animating in, then at the end of the 2 second animation, the legend just pops in.

I really would like my legend to be rendered first on the blank surface and the annotations and chart series to animate in together under my legend. I’m gathering that’s unlikely (at least the animation part) — but is there anyway I can place my legend first and still have the annotations go under it? It feels like the layers should be: modifiers > annotations > rendered series. I also I’ve read this order before in some WPF docs I believe, but doesn’t seem to be respected on iOS?

UPDATE: My current work around isn’t sufficient because I really need access to the renderable series to create the annotations which means I really can’t defer my chart modifiers (i.e. legend) until after the annotations. Additionally, if I need to update (remove / re-add) an annotation due to a series being deactivated in the legend, now my annotations are on top of the legend again.

I’ve received this crash report for a long time since I use this SDK.
But now it’s the largest amount of crash report in the newest version.
Do you have any idea about this?
I use the SDK to show meter temperature and humidity data. It’s about 10k to 30k data show in the chart and every time the user has download the data or the user zoom, drag the chart will recalculate the min, max, avg number in the visible time range.
Thank you~

Hi guys,

I just started using SCICHART. I am working my way through the provided tutorials and i noticed that when i add a SCITooltipModifier to the chart, all my other modifiers (zoom and pan and pinchzoom) stopped working. Is this normal? Because i want my chart to have zoom functions and show what datapoints are touched by a user.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I’m trying to limit the x-axis panning up to an annotation that I’ve drawn on the graph. This annotation can be beyond the current data’s position (i.e. data’s timestamp is at 5/4/2017 11:00:00, annotation’s position is at 5/4/2017 16:00:00). Is there a method, or any way that I can use to limit the x-axis panning up to the annotation’s position instead of limiting it to the data series’ max X?

Regards.

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 trying to round the corners of the bars produced by a SCIFastImpulseRenderableSeries (pointMarker is hidden). Any suggestions how to do that?

Thanks!

Hello, I’ve been trying to setup an Ellispe Point Marker graph which shows a linear regression line within the graph, I’ve copied the demo code into another project and it seems to show Ellispe Point Markers, but when I try it out using another project, it doesn’t seem to show up. The issue is that the graph shows up, along with the axis and the linear regression lines, but the Ellispe point markers don’t show up.

When I run the code, the linear regression line changes from new data that is being pushed, but the Ellispe pointer markers don’t show which I’m assuming means that the data is being pushed through/into the chart, but the point markers are specially not showing up for some reason. I’m wondering if anyone can help me regarding this situation, and I’ve looked through the code several times and I can’t seem to find what is causing my point markers to not show.

Unfortunately I can’t completely share the project due to confidentiality reason within my workplace, therefore I shared some screenshots which outline the code that is being used to for the SciChart Graph.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if there are any more questions regarding this issue, please let me know and I’ll try my best to answer them and provide more information. Thank you.

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).

Hello,

I am using SCI line chart for Android and iOS. How I can I add Multiple scales on the same graph for different lines?

Please do the needful.

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!

Good day! I have download this zip archive SciChart_iOS_SDK_4.2.0.5533.zip, on my laptop. Opened it and can not find the file SciChart.xcframework, according description from this article. I need to add library to Xcode frameworks, but I can not do it. Please can you tell me where can I get this file.

Hi,

I have a very simple iOS project in XCode 13 which uses Swift. The project has a tab bar controller with two tabs. The first tab brings up a sample home screen and the second tab initializes a blank SciChart graph.

I want to eventually be able to sometimes change what data is shown on the graph (via Bluetooth), and therefore I want to run my graph code every time the tab for the graph is selected. I put all my code for SciChart inside:

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool)

and this almost works fine, but declaring

let surface = SCIChartSurface() inside of override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool)

seems to be causing some sort of memory leak. Switching between tabs often causes my app to crash and XCode reports the following error message: “Terminated due to memory issue”

Is there a better way to initialize my graph to prevent this memory leak? Or is there way to flush the “surface” variable from memory when transitioning between tabs to prevent this memory issue from occurring?

My small sample project is available here which demonstrates the memory leak when switching between the home screen tab and graph tab: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mz88R3kKvoPqSGxFzohoHGDkseSwgHPh/view?usp=sharing

Any help greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi, guys

I’m interesting in alignment for line at SCIAxisMarkerAnnotation. For example for top, middle and bottom position. Like at alignment_to_top.png. So is there some possibility for this?

UDP: Is there possibility to hide annotation from chart view?
Something like setHidden: for UIView.

I was able to add multiple y axis and able to fill data on different y axis but the problem is all the y axis are overlapping. What I want is how can I segregate y axes in such a way that they should appear one below the other in the same surface. I tried adding two different surface but then I am not able to add single cursorModifier to both surface. Our android developers had used something called YAxisStackedLayoutStrategy to achieeeve this is there any equivalent class for iOS

Hi

I have a SCIFastLineRenderableSeries backed by data in SCIXyDataSeries.

I setup FIFO to 300 (this just a number I may increase, but it stores 30+ seconds of data)

x data is time stamp.

each time I have new data, I set a new visibleRange to show about 30 seconds of data on screen

xAxis.visibleRange = [[SCIDoubleRange alloc] initWithMin:SCIGeneric(secondSinceStart-31) Max:SCIGeneric(secondSinceStart)];

So this will scroll along showing latest 30 seconds of data. And that’s great.

But I want to scroll to the left to view the older data. because of the visibleRange is set I am not able to touch the axis labels and do anything)

how do I set the visibleRange or maybe not set it, so I can enable the scroll.

Here is the drag modifier I use , but I think it does not do anything either because of the visibleRange
SCIXAxisDragModifier * xAxisDragmodifier = [SCIXAxisDragModifier new];
xAxisDragmodifier.dragMode = SCIAxisDragMode_Pan;
xAxisDragmodifier.clipModeX = SCIClipMode_None;

Thanks

Hi everyone!

I have a candlestick chart that uses SCIZoomPanModifier() so i can zoom and pan in the chart. I added a SCITooltipModifier() so i can inspect the individual data points. I noticed that by adding the toolTipModifier, that my pan and zoom stops working. I can’t figure out why. Would really appreciate if someone could tell me why or if i am missing some variable i need to set

Hi, guys

it seems that i had found a mistake:

At SCICursorModifierStyle class if i try to set up axisVerticalTooltipCornerRadius property it lead to changing of axisHorizontalTooltipCornerRadius

Please take a look

Best regards,
Sushynski Andrei

How would I go about doing this in swift?

Hey Guys,

I have a requirement where I need to show Donut Chart Title , but adding any annotation is crashing my application.

    let textAnnotation = SCITextAnnotation()
    textAnnotation.coordinateMode = .relative
    textAnnotation.x1 = SCIGeneric(0.5)
    textAnnotation.y1 = SCIGeneric(0.5)
    textAnnotation.horizontalAnchorPoint = .center
    textAnnotation.verticalAnchorPoint = .center
    textAnnotation.text = "Test"
    textAnnotation.style.textStyle.fontSize = 14
    textAnnotation.style.textColor = UIColor.fromARGBColorCode(0xff000000);
    textAnnotation.style.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
    chartSurface.annotations = SCIAnnotationCollection(childAnnotations: [textAnnotation])

Thanks

I need to do some calculation for data in visible range after zoom. Is there any notification when gesture ends in SCIPinchZoomModifier? If not, then that means I have to build a custom zoom gesture modifier? If so could you show me how pinch zoom is done in SCIPinchZoomModifier so that I don’t need to build everything from scratch? Thanks

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
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
”’
How can I fix this problem?

I am adding a SCICustomAnnotation on a particular graph bar click. But the annotation always gets added to a fixed location and is not varying according to the selection. Whereas if I am adding the annotation during the init(), it’s getting added on the correct location point.
Ex:
if let annotationValue = viewModel.categoryModel?.value, annotationValue > 0 {
let customAnnotationGreen = SCICustomAnnotation()
customAnnotationGreen.horizontalAnchorPoint = .center
let imageView = UIImageView(image: #imageLiteral(resourceName: “Triangle”))
imageView.frame = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: CGSize(width: 10, height: 10))

                    customAnnotationGreen.customView = imageView// UIImageView(image: #imageLiteral(resourceName: "Triangle"))
                    if let value = viewModel.categoryModel?.graphDataPoints.values[hitTestInfo.dataSeriesIndex].toDouble() {
                        customAnnotationGreen.set(x1: hitTestInfo.dataSeriesIndex)
                        customAnnotationGreen.set(y1: value)
                        self.columnChart.annotations.add(customAnnotationGreen)
                    }
                }

1. Is it possible to display the peak value instead of X and Y values at touch point using a modifier ? If so, how can I achieve this ? (Both Rollover and Cursor modifier only shows the X and Y values)

2. In real time chart, since the values are updating continuously, the cursor modifier is constantly disappearing and appearing and is not stationary. How can I keep the cursor modifier always visible ?

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t29Zl-7QyMw&t=215s
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.

We have lots of Point Markers in our series that overlap, so we’re trying to find a way to Cluster them in Android and iOS. I can see that there is an SCIPointMarkerClusterizer. Can you give us some pointers on how we can achieve point marker clustering and/or spacing?

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!

Good day guys. I have download SciChart_iOS_SDK_4.2.0.5533 on Macbook M1. And try to integrate ios-arm64_armv7 verions to my project. I have added SciChart.xcframework to frameworks in Xcode 12.4. But the build is failed with a few errors:

1. unable to load standard library for target arm-64-apple-ios9.0
2. Failed to build module ‘SciChart’ from its module interface, it may have been damaged or it may have triggered a bug in Swift compiler when it was produced.

Can you tell me please did I use the right version of SciChart.xcframework for apple silicone? And how to solve this errors?

The wick for the up candlestick go through the body while the down candlestick do not. How can I make the wick inside the body part disappear? I didn’t change any settings of stroke and fill style. Thanks.

let candlestickSeries = SCIFastCandlestickRenderableSeries()

Hi, guys

Is it possible to set min and max zoom constraints for renderable serie with one element ?
Default value (default_zoom.PNG) is too big.

Can you look at this?

Best regards,

I want to modify SCICursorModifier in such a way that while user is doing pan gesture in x direction the line should always be in the centre of candlestick. How can i achieve this. For example there are 3 candlestick visible while panning from 0th x co-ordinate vertical line should be in the centre of first candlestick on more panning it will go to the centre of 2nd candlestick like rollover modifier

We have a graph surface with some point markers on it and we want to show a custom tooltip every time the user taps on a point marker. So far I’ve used a UITapGestureRecognizer, convert the touchpoint in the chart frame and for each of the renderable series perform a HitTestAtX with a radius (I’ve tried 1, 5 and 30) but it always returns true, even if I tap on an area where there’s a gap in the chart. Here’s some sample code:

SCIHitTestInfo hitTestInfo = renderableSeries.HitTestProvider.HitTestInterpolateModeAtX(touchPoint.X, touchPoint.Y, 30, renderableSeries.CurrentRenderPassData);

if (hitTestInfo.match)
{
       Console.WriteLine($"Tapped {hitTestInfo.xValue} {hitTestInfo.yValue} with index {hitTestInfo.index} of the series {renderableSeries.DataSeries.SeriesName}");

       var elementSeries = Model.BottomRightLegendList.FirstOrDefault(tup => tup.DataSeries.SeriesName == renderableSeries.DataSeries.SeriesName);

       var element = elementSeries.GraphElement;

       if (element != null)
       {
            matchedElements.Add(element);
       }
}

Why is the “match” property always true, even if there are no Point Markers in the radius?

How can we restrict stacked graph chart scrolling to future date ?

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

Just trying to run the demo using these instructions: https://github.com/abtsoftware/scichart.ios.examples.

It doesn’t work I’m getting “Failed to emit precompiled header” and “SciChart/SciChart.h file not found”
