Hi, guys

I want to show two renderableSeries on one chart view. These series have common x-axis (SCICategoryDateTimeAxis) and separate y-axes(SCINumericAxis). Only one of y-axis is visible at chart view. Also the data series of visible renderable series updated by scrolling to left or to right. So for displaying on one view i’m using:

[y1Axis setGrowBy: [[SCIDoubleRange alloc] initWithMin:SCIGeneric(0.3) Max:SCIGeneric(0.07)]];
[y2Axis setGrowBy: [[SCIDoubleRange alloc] initWithMin:SCIGeneric(0.0) Max:SCIGeneric(5)]];

So it’s look good at start (Correct_zooming.png). But after some scrolling it decrease axis extents of invisible y-axis (decrease.png).
Or even breaks down (broken.png)

For test i’m using SCIFastOhlcRenderableSeries and SCIHorizontallyStackedColumnsCollection readerable series.
Data series for SCIHorizontallyStackedColumnsCollection is initializated like:

    [volumeSerie1 updateAt:index Y:SCIGeneric(100000 / [multiplier doubleValue])];
    [volumeSerie2 updateAt:index Y:SCIGeneric(500000 / [multiplier doubleValue])];

So can you look at it?
Or what way i should implement this behavior?

Hi guys,

I am having difficulties setting the background of my bar chart with SCICategoryDateTime X axis since I switched to 2.0.

As far as I understand, just setting the background property of the SCIChartSurface should suffice.
These are all of the things I’ve tried:

1. [self.barSurface setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
2. [self.barSurfaceView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]]; 
3. self.barSurface.renderableSeriesAreaFill = [[SCISolidBrushStyle alloc] initWithColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
4. [self.barSurface.renderSurface setIsTransparent:YES];

I didn’t find any other way of setting it, but it still remains black. Any thought on what might cause it?

EDIT: I just found out about this color setting:

[axisStyle setGridBandBrush:[[SCISolidBrushStyle alloc] initWithColor:[UIColor whiteColor]]];

The result I got was a black and white chess board, as shown on the attached picture. I really don’t understand this behaviour. If I set this gridBandBrush to nil, columns are coloured with random colours, so the chart looks like a rainbow. I understand why is this happening but shouldn’t there be a default colour in case brush is nil?

EDIT 2: While debugging using “Capture view hierarchy” in XCode I discovered that render surface is actually white inside debugger. Perhaps it will give more insight to you, it doesn’t mean much to me – I guess it’s because rendering is done on GPU and the context is not available to the debugger.

Best,
Igor

Hi,

I’ve encountered an issue with the candlestick graph I’ve drawn that consists of a set of random X date time values – this causes the candlesticks have varying distances from one another.

Rendering the data from an initial set seems to be fine but as I run a NSTimer to add on more points, the body of the new candlesticks seem to be 0. (Note, the date time values are still random but have been made to be set after the last placed point)

In fact, the initial data points that I added see to be rendered ‘body-less’ if it’s within the same visible range as the newly added points. And if I pan along the newly added points, the bodies of some data points will appear at random visible ranges.

Is this a normal behaviour or should I take anything else into consideration?

Here are a couple of my configurations which I think may have affected anything:
1. My XAxis has set its visible range limit mode to ClipMode_Min
2. Candlestick series style data body width is set to be default.
3. I have a the following modifiers set up.

self.xDragModifier = [SCIXAxisDragModifier new];
self.xDragModifier.axisId = @"xAxis";
self.xDragModifier.dragMode = SCIAxisDragMode_Pan;
self.xDragModifier.clipModeX = SCIZoomPanClipMode_ClipAtMin;
[self.xDragModifier setModifierName:@"XAxis DragModifier"];

self.pinchZoomModifier = [[SCIPinchZoomModifier alloc] init];
[self.pinchZoomModifier setModifierName:@"PinchZoom Modifier"];
self.pinchZoomModifier.xyDirection = SCIXYDirection_XDirection;

self.zoomPanModifier = [SCIZoomPanModifier new];
self.zoomPanModifier.clipModeX = SCIZoomPanClipMode_ClipAtMin;
self.zoomPanModifier.xyDirection = SCIXYDirection_XDirection;
[self.zoomPanModifier setModifierName:@"ZoomPan Modifier"];

SCIModifierGroup * gm = [[SCIModifierGroup alloc] initWithChildModifiers:@[self.xDragModifier, self.pinchZoomModifier, self.zoomPanModifier]];
self.chartSurface.chartModifier = gm;

The points are drawing just fine, but the body of the candlestick is not appearing as expected.

Thanks in advance.

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 ?

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, guys

My x axis is SCICategoryDateTimeAxis class type. And it’s limited by VisiableRangeLimit like:

[xAxis setVisibleRangeLimit:[[SCIDoubleRange alloc] initWithMin:SCIGeneric(firstItem – (lastItem – priorItem))
Max:SCIGeneric(lastItem + (lastItem – priorItem))]];

Also for scrolling my content inside chart:

SCIZoomPanModifier * zpm = [[SCIZoomPanModifier alloc] init];
[zpm setModifierName:@"PanZoom Modifier"];
[zpm setClipModeX:SCIZoomPanClipMode_ClipAtExtents];

Like a description SCIZoomPanClipMode_ClipAtExtents says:
“forces the panning operation to stop suddenly at the extents of the data” – but it’s not working constantly.
Sometimes it’s allow to scroll outside the range. Like on the attached image.

So my question is how to limit scrolling by min and max value?

Hi, guys

What is the minimum required sdk version for SciChart v.2?

Such as i have some trouble with IOS 9. See attachment.

Same behavior at real devices.

Can you look at this?

Best regards,
Sushynski Andrei

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?

Hi

I am developing a Xamarin iOS application and I’m using a SCIPieChartSurface. I can create the chart and set its values, but is 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 heard it was a bug in the API for Android a month ago, is this similar? Or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Best regards

Hi all,

I’m trying to use the metal support in a little test project.
I have following lines to enable metal:

if SCIChartSurface.isMetalSupported {
      sciChartSurface.renderSurface = SCIMetalRenderSurface(frame: sciChartSurface.bounds)
 } else {
       sciChartSurface.renderSurface = SCIOpenGLRenderSurface(frame: sciChartSurface.bounds)
 }

the surface keeps empty until I remove the

sciChartSurface.renderSurface = SCIMetalRenderSurface(frame: sciChartSurface.bounds)

line – or in other words I use OpenGL.
Then the chart will render properly. I am using an iPhoneX (not simulator).

Thank you for your support!

Is the styleFor function of SCIPaletteProvider that was in Version 2.0 not implemented in Version 4.8?
Also, are there any plans to implement it?

I am upgrading from SciCharts 2.0.1 to SciCharts 4.3.
When the color was set using SCI Palatt Provider in Version 2.0, the memory used was 200M, but in Version 4.3, the memory used may consume as much as 1G.
I tried to devise it by setting the Sampleing Mode, but it is not very effective.

SCI Charts is used to display the spectrum data of audio data while playing the sound.

I was testing my charts on a simulator and when I naved away and then back to the chart screen the Simulator’s chart was totally black screen; I could move the mouse over the points and the popouts would occur; and your license notice showed in the center of the chart. So it was almost like it thought all the drawing for the chart itself needed to be black on black.

It was always broken on the 2nd or later chart. Restarting the app fixed it. I tried removing all custom settings, and calling the invalidate; and nothing caused it to redraw correctly… Fortunately, when deploying to real devices everything worked correctly. Is this an expected side effect of testing on a simulator, or is their something that I can do to force a hard refresh of the chart…

FYI: The additional debug diagnostics don’t seem to do anything on a simulator, or at least I couldn’t find anywhere it was logged.

Hi,

I’m trying to achieve the looks of DateTimeCategory XAxis as shown on uploaded screenshot.

Formatting a single row of tick labels is not a hard task (setTextFormatting). The problem arises when there are 2 rows with same frequency (days of the week and dates) and third row with lower frequency (years).

I tried using new line character in text formatting property to break the line for days and dates and it didn’t work. I also tried having two axes bound to the same data series, each one having different formatting and majorDelta, but it seems that they don’t stack up (only first one added is shown).

Any ideas?

I’m getting the following crash:

2020-02-14 16:45:43.902812-0500 CommonStock Development[2425:710225] -[SCIRolloverModifier onTouchesCancelled:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x282ffe080

whenever I try to scrub my chart, I must also note that in order for the legend to show, I have to tap really hard on the surface.

This is my code:

    let dashedDataSeries = SCIXyDataSeries(xType: .double, yType: .double)

    group.enter()

    DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInteractive).async {
        for (index, i) in set.enumerated() {
            lineDataSeries.append(x: Double(index), y: Double(i))
        }

        for (index, i) in alternate.enumerated() {
            dashedDataSeries.append(x: Double(index), y: Double(i))
        }

        group.leave()

    group.notify(queue: .main) {

        lineSeries.areaStyle =  SCILinearGradientBrushStyle(start: CGPoint(x: 0, y: 1), end: CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0), start: UIColor.green, end: UIColor.clear)

        let dashedSeries = SCIFastLineRenderableSeries()
        dashedSeries.zeroLineY = set.min() ?? 0.0
        dashedSeries.dataSeries = dashedDataSeries

            let yAxis = SCINumericAxis()
            yAxis.drawLabels = false
            yAxis.drawMajorBands = false
            yAxis.drawMajorGridLines = false
            yAxis.drawMinorGridLines = false
            yAxis.drawMinorTicks = false
            yAxis.drawMajorTicks = false
            yAxis.drawLabels = false

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

            self.surface.chartModifiers.add(SCIRolloverModifier())
        }
    }
}

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 ?

Hi,

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,

I am using SciChart_iOS_SDK_3.0.0.5074 with Swift 5.

I want to show string type on X-axis. I am using below code snippet.

class YearsLabelProvider: SCILabelProviderBase<SCINumericAxis> {

   var xLabels: [String] = ["Test", "Test", "Test", "Test", "Test", "Test", "Test", "Test",     "Test", "Test", "Test", "Test", "Test", "Test"]

   func update(_ axis: ISCIAxisCore!) { }

   override func formatLabel(_ dataValue: ISCIComparable!) -> ISCIString! {
        let index = Int(dataValue.toDouble())
        return NSString(string: index >= 0 && index < xLabels.count ? xLabels[index] : "")
    }

    override func formatCursorLabel(_ dataValue: ISCIComparable!) -> ISCIString! {
        let index = Int(dataValue.toDouble())

        var result: String?

        if (index >= 0 && index < xLabels.count) {
            result = xLabels[index]
        }
        return NSString(string: result!)
    }
}

Application crashes while loading with the following error –

” *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception ‘Initializer not allowed Exception’, reason: ‘Parameterless initializer of Chart.YearsLabelProvider class shouldn’t be used. Please use one of the designated initializers instead'”

Kindly help us resolving this issue since this is a showstopper issue.
I would also like to know about what data SCIXyDataSeries accepts when we are working with strings.

I am considering applying server-side licensing for my javerScript application.

In the document below, there is a phrase “Our server-side licensing component is written in C++.”
(https://support.scichart.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/17256/42/)

However, there is only asp.net sample code on the provided github.
(https://github.com/ABTSoftware/SciChart.JS.Examples/tree/master/Sandbox/demo-dotnet-server-licensing)

I wonder if there is a sample code implemented in C++ for server-side licensing.

Can you provide c++ sample code?
Also, are there any examples to run on Ubuntu?

Hello,

I would like to add a corner radius (to give rounded corners) to the SciChart rollover tooltip in iOS. I saw that there is a “tooltipCornerRadius” property in “SCITooltipModifierStyleProtocol”, but I am having trouble figuring out how to use this. Can someone point me in the right direction?

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 want to implement a custom modifier to track the users touch, similar to rollover but without displaying a view

I tried to do this by implementing SCIGestureModifier and overriding all the onTouches methods, but – no matter the user behaviour – the modifier will always receive an onTouchesCancelled event after about a second and receive no more of these events after that.

What does work is implement onPanGesture to actually track all the user’s movement but i don’t see any way of how you would receive a touch up event this way (which i do need)

Is there any fundamental misunderstanding on how this should work on my side?

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 {

    init(chart: ChartView?) {

        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 {

            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)

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.

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,
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
