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-dev.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?

Is it possible to set different color to axis ticks and axis title.
In 2D-Chart i did it by changing the style of DefaultTickLabel:

<Style x:Key="NumericAxisForMvvm" TargetType="axis:NumericAxisForMvvm">

  <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="12" />
  <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Arial" />
  <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold" />
  <Setter Property="TickTextBrush" Value="Red" />

  <Setter Property="TickLabelStyle">
    <Setter.Value>
      <Style TargetType="s:DefaultTickLabel">

        <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="16" />
        <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Normal" />
        <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Courier New" />
        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Blue" />

        <Setter Property="Template">
          <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="s:DefaultTickLabel">
              <ContentControl Content="{Binding}"
                              ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}"
                              IsTabStop="False" 
                              Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}" 
                              FontFamily="{TemplateBinding FontFamily}"
                              FontSize="{TemplateBinding FontSize}"
                              FontWeight="{TemplateBinding FontWeight}"/>
            </ControlTemplate>
          </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
      </Style>
    </Setter.Value>
  </Setter>
</Style>

Same procedure seems doesn’t work for 3D-Charts.
How can i achieve this?
Is that currently possible?

Hi,

I’m actually working on new wpf application using Scichart and I’m wondering how to plot only XAxis and YAxis without labels and without gridlines.

Here is my code, I cannot not figure out what is missing to do that:

            <s:SciChartSurface.YAxis>
                <s:NumericAxis VisibleRange="{Binding ...}"
                               MajorGridLineStyle="{Binding ...}"
                               TickLabelStyle="{Binding ...}"
                               MajorDelta="{Binding ...}"
                               MinorDelta="1"
                               AutoTicks="False"
                               AxisAlignment="Left"
                               DrawMajorGridLines="false
                               DrawMinorGridLines="false"
                               DrawMajorBands="false"
                               DrawMajorTicks="false"
                               DrawMinorTicks="false"
                               DrawLabels="false"
            </s:SciChartSurface.YAxis>


        <Style x:Key="NoGraphGridLineStyle" TargetType="s:NumericAxis">
            <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed" />
        </Style>

I am using the CategoryDateTimeAxis to fetch data in minute resolution for a few days and then append realtime data in one second resolution to it. Since the CategoryDateTimeAxis uses equidistance calculations I was wondering if it is possible to override that behaviour somehow? I.e. can I control the distance calculation somehow?

I am currently switching to CategoryDateTimeAxis because DiscontinuousDateTimeAxis provides to much of a performance hit for our use case.

I am using an SCINumericAxis for my y-axis. I am setting the visibleRange to (Min = 28, Max = 76). I am leaving the minorsPerMajor to the default of 5. However when looking at my graph (attached) you can see that the major tick labels are actually every 6 minors, e.g. 30, 36, 42, etc. when they should be 30, 35, 40, etc for minorsPerMajor set to 5.

Please advise on how to fix this issue as my major tick labels should be every 5, not every 6.

I have a few problems that I’m trying to address with y-axis labelling.

1. I am including a y-axis on the left side of my graph but want the text of the labels to be right-aligned. Each label uses two lines of text. How can I do that?
2. I want the margin of the text to be a specific width so that I can line up the y-axis of multiple scichart surfaces that are stacked vertically. How can I set each of my scichart surfaces to use a particular margin for the y-axis labelling?
3. The y-axis label text will wrap when I don’t want it to (see attached image — The text of the label should be “1m \n Left” and I am currently seeing “1m \n Lef \n t”). How do I turn off the wrapping of text on the y-axis?

———-

This is how I am currently implementing the y-axis:

NumericAxis(context).apply {
    drawLabels = true
    axisAlignment = AxisAlignment.Left
    this.labelProvider = labelProvider
    this.tickProvider = tickProvider
    drawMajorBands = false
    drawMajorTicks = false
    drawMinorTicks = false
    drawMajorGridLines = false
    drawMinorGridLines = false
    isLabelCullingEnabled = false
    visibleRange = DoubleRange(
            dataRange.first,
            dataRange.second
    )
    autoRange = AutoRange.Never
    tickLabelStyle = FontStyle(
            TypefaceManager.obtainTypeface(context, CustomTypeface.PROXIMA_NOVA_REG),
            context.resources.getDimension(R.dimen.results_screen_graph_labels_text_size),
            Color.LTGRAY
    )
}

Hi there,

I’m trying to display little icons as axis labels using the LabelProvider API and NSAttributedString (with NSTextAttachmet). Is this supported? Here’s a minimal example:

import UIKit
import Foundation
import SciChart
import SciChart.Protected.SCILabelProviderBase

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    private lazy var chart: SCIChartSurface = {
        let c = SCIChartSurface(frame: .zero)
        c.xAxes.add(items: SCINumericAxis())

        let yAxis = SCINumericAxis()
        yAxis.labelProvider = SymbolLabelProvider()
        c.yAxes.add(items: yAxis)
        return c
    }()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        SCIChartSurface.setRuntimeLicenseKey(myLicenseKey)

        view.addSubview(chart)
        chart.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        let guide = self.view.safeAreaLayoutGuide
        NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
            chart.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: guide.leadingAnchor),
            chart.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: guide.trailingAnchor),
            chart.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: guide.topAnchor),
            chart.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: guide.bottomAnchor),
        ])
    }
}

class SymbolLabelProvider: SCILabelProviderBase<SCINumericAxis> {

    lazy var numberFormatter: NumberFormatter = {
        let f = NumberFormatter()
        f.allowsFloats = true
        f.maximumFractionDigits = 2
        return f
    }()

    init() {
        super.init(axisType: ISCINumericAxis.self)
    }

    override func formatLabel(_ dataValue: ISCIComparable!) -> ISCIString! {

        let intValue = Int(dataValue.toDouble())
        let font = UIFont.init(descriptor: axis.tickLabelStyle.fontDescriptor, size: UIFont.systemFontSize * 4)

        if intValue.isMultiple(of: 2) {
            let i = UIImage(systemName: "circle", withConfiguration: UIImage.SymbolConfiguration(font: font))
            return NSAttributedString(attachment: NSTextAttachment(image: i!))
        } else {
            let attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key: Any] = [
                .font: font,
                .foregroundColor: UIColor.yellow,
            ]
            return NSAttributedString(string: numberFormatter.string(for: dataValue.toDouble())!, attributes: attributes)
        }
    }
}

See attached screenshot for the result.

If this is not supported: any suggestions / ideas for a workaround?

Thanks

Hello,

I am trying to set the interval on the x-axis in a polar plot but it doesn’t appear to be accepting it and plotting accordingly. My axis definition is quite simple:

<s:SciChartSurface.XAxis>
       <s:PolarXAxis Name="TFxAxis" MajorDelta="15"/>
</s:SciChartSurface.XAxis>

I am plotting angles and radii so one data point might be (45, 1) and the next (50, 2) and so on where my visible range is TFxAxis.VisibleRange = new DoubleRange(-180.0, 180.0). Very simple plot but it keeps returning to a default of 1 on my MajorDelta for the x-axis and then showing major axes at 50 degree intervals. I’ve tried a variety of solutions but nothing seems to work properly.
Thanks,
Christina

Hello.
Thanks for previous answer but I can’t check how it work because of new problem. I develop WPF application and try to use MVVM as architecture pattern. In the Model part of my application I used a loop started in the new thread. In that loop I get some data which received to ViewModel and used as chart data. Looks as usual.
But then I tried to set visible range updated object which bound to axis I get exception ‘System.InvalidOperationException: ‘The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it.’ in my loop. I know it happens in WPF applications and need to use Dispatcher to solve it. But as I know if you try to use MVVM you not needed to use Dispatcher often because WPF-binding in most cases is thread-safe. That happend in my case? How to solve it?
