I am showing tooltip with CursorModifier. My tooltip bigger than SciChartSurface and I am using ClipModifierSurface=”False” in order to show whole tooltip. But in this case axis labels and scroll bar are on top of tooltip.
Described problem can be seen on Featured Apps > Scientific Charts > Oscilloscope Demo.
Is there any way to bring tooltip on top of chart surface?

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

in IOS SDK there are SCIAxisRangeSyncronization and SCIAxisAreaSizeSyncronization for dealing with axis sync. I would like to ask are there any similar classes in Android to do this ? Thanks.

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
    )
}

Hello,

I have the problem, that sometimes only one label is shown on the X-Axis even when there is space to show some more, than only one.
The property “IsLabelCullingEnabled” would show them all, but than it is ugly if there is not enough space.
So what can I do to have some more Labels shown?

In the Screenshots you can see that with only a few pixels more, more labels are shown, but the could have been also shown with less pixels (Especially Label “1” and “22” could have been shown).

Hi,

I have some charts binded to a viewmodel. I wanted to produce a bar chart, so I want to modify the AxisAlignment.

If I specify a hardcoded alignment in the XAML, it works fine.

If I bind the alignment to the viewModel, the chart does not render, and I get the following error in the output:

 SciChartSurface didn't render, because an exception was thrown:
      Message: The specified Visual and this Visual do not share a common ancestor, so there is no valid transformation between the two Visuals.

                                </s:SciChartSurface.YAxis>

And the properties I’m binding to:

public AxisAlignment XAxisAlignment { get; private set; }

public AxisAlignment YAxisAlignment { get; private set; }

Any help is appreciated.

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

Hi, I want to color the axis label by its value,
eg. value< 0 -> show with red color
value = 0 -> show grey color
value > 0 -> show green color

similar to this question, but in android platform, it seems the LabelProvider has function related to the value(string) formatting only. Is there any ways to styling the label? Thanks!

How can I apply my style and template to my axes if I created the axes as NumericAxisViewModel in code and bound them to my SciChartSurface in my xaml view?

Regards,
Roland

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?
