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!

Achieved the desired behaviour by implementing our custom renderable series. The key idea is to have the series plotted on a value based X-axis (numeric, date, etc.). The custom renderable series will use the default “SCIXyRenderPassData” to get the X axis tick coordinates. It will then draw the bars from one tick to the next one.

The implementation:

class FlexibleColumnWidthRenderableSeries: SCIXyRenderableSeriesBase {

/// In default constructor we will use:
/// - SCIXyRenderPassData which will store points to draw ( If you need to store some additional data for drawing you can extend it and add additional fields )
/// - SCIPointMarkerHitProvider which performs hit checks on points rendered by series. In our case we just check if point marker is hit
/// - SCINearestXyPointProvider allows to locate nearest (x, y) point to specified point on screen
override init() {
    super.init(
        renderPassData: SCIXyRenderPassData(),
        hitProvider: SCIPointMarkerHitProvider(),
        nearestPointProvider: SCINearestXyPointProvider()
    )
}

override func internalDraw(
    with renderContext: ISCIRenderContext2D!,
    assetManager: ISCIAssetManager2D!,
    renderPassData: ISCISeriesRenderPassData!) {

    guard self.opacity != 0 else { return }

    guard let fillProvider = paletteProvider as? ISCIFillPaletteProvider else {
        // this can be changed in the future if we want to support `strokeStyle`
        assertionFailure("this renderable series expects a fill pallete provider")
        return
    }

    /// The render pass data which we created in constructor
    let rdp: SCIXyRenderPassData! = renderPassData as? SCIXyRenderPassData
    let rects = getRectsForDrawing(renderPassData: rdp)

    rects.enumerated().forEach { index, rect in
        let color = fillProvider.fillColors.getValueAt(index)
        let brush = assetManager.brush(with: SCISolidBrushStyle(colorCode: color))
        renderContext.fill(rect, with: brush)
    }
}

private func getRectsForDrawing(renderPassData: SCIXyRenderPassData) -> [CGRect] {

    /// Ensures the chart's smallest bar has at least a minimum height
    let maxY = getMaxY(forRenderPassData: renderPassData)

    func computeRect(startingAtPoint point: Int) -> CGRect {

        let xCoord = CGFloat(renderPassData.xCoords.getValueAt(point))
        let yCoord = min(CGFloat(renderPassData.yCoords.getValueAt(point)), maxY)
        let nextXCoord = CGFloat(renderPassData.xCoords.getValueAt(point + 1))
        let height = renderPassData.viewportSize.height - yCoord
        let columnWidth = nextXCoord - xCoord

        // here we might want to support `zeroLineY` into the computation for  Y position
        return CGRect(
            x: xCoord,
            y: yCoord,
            width: columnWidth,
            height: height
        )
    }

    return (0 ..< renderPassData.pointsCount - 1).map { computeRect(startingAtPoint: $0) }
}

/// Computes the maximum value an Y coordinate can have in the chart such that we don't have one pixel bars.
///
/// SciChart computes the Y coordinates by comparing the data we provide in the `dataSeries`.
/// Therefore, the minimum and maximum Y values in the `dataSeries` will have a corresponding Y coordinate to the top and bottom of the viewport.
/// This is how they are internally computed by SciChart's `SCIXyRenderPassData` which we used in our `init()`.
/// - Parameter rdp: The render pass data we provided in the init
/// - Returns: The max Y coordinate allowed on the chart to ensure we don't have 1 pixel-height columns.
private func getMaxY(forRenderPassData rdp: SCIXyRenderPassData) -> CGFloat {
    let yCoords = Set(rdp.yCoords.itemsArray).sorted()
    let columnHeightDelta: CGFloat = 1
    var maxY = CGFloat(yCoords.last ?? 0)
    if rdp.viewportSize.height - maxY <= columnHeightDelta, yCoords.count > 1 {
        let nextY = CGFloat(yCoords.suffix(2).first!)
        maxY -= (maxY - nextY) / 3
    }
    return maxY
}

}
