Hi,

A problem appears changing Axis Alignment if Annotations exists, look this simple example:

NumericAxis x, y;
    SciChartSurface c;
    public Sci()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        c = new SciChartSurface();


        c.XAxes.Add(x = new NumericAxis() { Id = "x" });
        c.YAxes.Add(y = new NumericAxis() { Id = "y" });

        //some limits
        y.VisibleRange = new DoubleRange(-5, 5);
        y.VisibleRangeLimitMode = RangeClipMode.MinMax;

        //a series
        var s = new FastLineRenderableSeries() { XAxisId="x", YAxisId="y"};
        c.RenderableSeries.Add(s);

        //some datapoints
        var ds = new XyDataSeries<double>();
        ds.Append(1, 1);
        ds.Append(2, 2);
        ds.Append(3, 1);
        ds.Append(4, 2);
        s.DataSeries = ds;

        //Add an annotation
        var a = new HorizontalLineAnnotation() { Y1 = 1.5d, YAxisId = "y", Stroke = Brushes.Red, StrokeThickness = 1 };
        c.Annotations.Add(a);

        //appending the chart on a grid
        mG.Children.Add(c);


    }

If you run it all works good. Now, add a button that flip chart, with this code:

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        c.Annotations.Clear();

        if (x.AxisAlignment == AxisAlignment.Left)
        {
            x.AxisAlignment = AxisAlignment.Bottom;
            y.AxisAlignment = AxisAlignment.Left;

            var a = new HorizontalLineAnnotation() { Y1 = 1.5d, YAxisId = "y", Stroke = Brushes.Red, StrokeThickness = 1 };
            c.Annotations.Add(a);
        }
        else
        {
            x.AxisAlignment = AxisAlignment.Left;
            y.AxisAlignment = AxisAlignment.Bottom;


            var a = new VerticalLineAnnotation() { Y1 = 1.5d, YAxisId = "y", Stroke = Brushes.Red, StrokeThickness = 1 };
            c.Annotations.Add(a);
        }

    }

Now nothing works good…
Can you solve it?

Thanks.

The previous post is mine, with the uncorrect user.
Sorry.

Hi Marc, you must specify both XAxisId and YAxisId for annotations where custom axis IDs are used (even Horizontal / VerticalLineAnnotation)

Can you try that and let me know if it works?

Best regards
Andrew

Hi,

thanks very much, now it works perfectly.

A little suggestion for the future.
SciCharts have a really good architecture that allow to works without troubles.
Horizontal and Verttical line annotationds, contrariwise, are a little bit annoying.
This is because “Horizontal” and “Vertical” is depending on axis positions and, as in my case, I must assign an unknow secondary axys that don’t play any role.
I’ve writed a wrapper that change annotations when axes move, but a really good solution would be a generic AxisLineAnnotation that:

  • Is linked to his Axis and so it is vertical or horizontal depending on axis position
  • It require a secondary axys only if we want to set secondary informations (i.e. the length of the annotation)

Thanks
marc.
