Hello,

i’m using the spline filter with the ToSpline method.
The problem I have with this is that the method returns a different type.
I want to apply the filter to my XyDataSeries<long, double>. However, the returned value is of type XyDataSeries<double, double>.
Is there a way to apply the filter and have a XyDataSeries<long, double>?

What properties should I change to change the position of the information in the bottom left of the chart?

Hi, I want to rotate an ObjectModel3D with multiple axis of rotation.
But Rotation property of ObjectModel3D can set only one axis (X or Y or Z).
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks

We currently own an older version of SCiCHART (5.2.1.11757). The question I have was posted 5 years ago at:
https://www.scichart.com/questions/wpf/change-verticalslicemodifier-value-labels-position

Is this answer still the correct answer or is this now possible via an API call or xaml option with a newer release?
Best

I created an ObjectModel3D object in ViewModel and bound it to View, but the Scale and Position values are not applicable.
What’s wrong with my code?

I saw an obj file appear on the chart through SceneObject But I want to use custom polygon as a point marker for my ScatterRenderableSeries. Can you apply obj file to PointMarker3D? Or How do I add 3d polygon to chart via obj file in viewmodel?

Hi,

I’m creating a custom modifier that is derived from a VerticalSliceModifier. Basically if I press CTRL+Click, a VerticalLineAnnotation is added to the VerticalLines property, and tooltips with Y values are displayed. I’m using a collection of LineRenderableSeriesViewModel as data to chart. It works with one detail: my chart is within a tab, and when the tab changes and then returns, the tooltips disappear.

After further investigation, I noticed that the SeriesData ends up with 0 elements after the tab switch. To fix this, I have overrided the OnPropertyChanged on the class, and if the property that changed is “IWindowService”, I remove all markers if new value is null and add them back when new value is not null.

I don’t know why the “IWindowService” property is changed, or what the implications of that are. So even when the solution works, I don’t understand the internal mechanics of why it does.
I feel like there should be a better way to solve this. Can you help me out, or at least explain the internal workings?

I tried using the OnAttach and OnDetached events, but even when I remove the VerticalLines, somehow they keep appearing on the chart, and are not listed in the new VerticalLines collection.

Hi I am using UniformXyDataSeries<double> .
And I can’t work with SciChartOverview.
Before that I was working with XyDataSeries<double, double> and everything worked very well.
And now the entire SciChartOverview is simply black.. (still functions as a scrollbar)
And I get this –

SciChartSurface didn’t render, because an exception was thrown:
Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

                                     />

Again – everything worked fine for me until I changed the data structure…
[samples[0]._Series is type of UniformXyDataSeries<double>()]
Thanks!

Hi,

I have an analog and scatter chart on separate tabs and when I change for the tab with the scatter chart, after a bit the chart starts to flicker with the data on the chart and the axes values moving quickly up and down and in a few seconds, it’ll become still and won’t move anymore until I change tabs again. It looks like if it would like to scale the Y axis values really quickly, but it’s the same before and after the flickering, which is totally correct, so there is no need to do anything like this. It happens both if I put data to the series dynamically and if there is no data update also. What can cause this behavior?

This is my chart in the XAML:

<s:SciChartSurface x:Name="ScatterChart"
   ClipToBounds="True"
   RenderableSeries="{Binding ScatterRenderSeries}" 
   Margin="10,0" >

I am creating a graph for 10 data series using Scichart, with the most optimal legend placement for the graph being “Top” with Horizontal Orientation as shown in the code below. I would like to keep the spacing compact so all the data series can be visible without the need for the scrollbar, however because of the checkboxes for selecting each series being enabled I cannot compress the spaces to make all the data series visible. I did try using a custom legend with the typical binding but to no avail. I have attached an image of the current legend as well.

<s:LegendModifier Name="legendModifier" Margin="1" Width="1" ShowLegend="True" Orientation="Horizontal"
                                  HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"
                                  LegendPlacement="Top" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
                                  Visibility="Visible"/>

Is it possible to format the legend so as to keep all the series names visible while maintaining the checkboxes for displaying or hiding individual data series?

Hello,
I am trying to add a BoxAnnotation with MVVM pattern where the X-Axis is a DateTime axis. The annotation can be dragged into the X-direction. I need to know the DateTime of each position while dragging and also the final position(DateTime) of the BoxAnnotation when the drag Ended. I am listening to the DragDelta and DragEnded events in ViewModel. But here I couldn’t able to get the DateTime from X1 and X2 of that annotation model. I am sharing some snippets of my code. Can you please let me know how I can achieve this?
