Tag: Axis

Hi

I’m using auto range on a numeric axis. The data can be anything, but I want the axis to never have a range of less than 5.
E.g.: -100 to -95
E.g.: 17 to 22
E.g.: 0 to 5
etc.

What do I need to set to be able to do this? I have tried MinimalZoomConstrain and VisibleRangeLimit without success. Preferably something to set in XAML on my axis.

Thanks.

Someone recently asked the question on priority support tickets

Q: How do I have two YAxis on the left and right of the chart but with
the same VisibleRange?

e.g. how to mirror the YAxis on both sides of the chart

Hi,

I’m trying to achieve the looks of DateTimeCategory XAxis as shown on uploaded screenshot.

Formatting a single row of tick labels is not a hard task (setTextFormatting). The problem arises when there are 2 rows with same frequency (days of the week and dates) and third row with lower frequency (years).

I tried using new line character in text formatting property to break the line for days and dates and it didn’t work. I also tried having two axes bound to the same data series, each one having different formatting and majorDelta, but it seems that they don’t stack up (only first one added is shown).

Any ideas?

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

take the SciChart Trader as an example, x-Axis is type of CategoryDateTimeAxis. I want a way to show the index of the time in the collection, when mouse moves over the price bar in some mode like Rollover or Cursor.

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:NumericAxis AxisAlignment="{Binding XAxisAlignment}" LabelProvider="{Binding LabelProvider}" AutoTicks="False" MajorDelta="1" MinorDelta="1" DrawMinorGridLines="False">
                                    </s:NumericAxis>
                                </s:SciChartSurface.XAxis>

                                <s:SciChartSurface.YAxis>
                                    <s:NumericAxis AxisAlignment="{Binding YAxisAlignment}" AxisTitle="Number of crimes" GrowBy="0,1"/>
                                </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.

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

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 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, guys

Is it possible to draw axis line at axis area? See attachment.

I’m trying to have a two charts which have a x-axis points (datetime) that doesn’t intersect. And i want charts was synchronized like this:

How you can see here upper chart doesn’t have a point at 10.12.2013, but lower has. Can i reach same effect by SciChart?

Hi,

i have an horizontal line annotation in my chart at a fixed value (some hint for the user “minimum level”) that i always want to be visible. Thus, i’d like to set the axis/chart so that it always shows a range from 0 to 0.05, or larger range if the chart values exceed this range.
I’ve tried to set-up the VisualRangeLimit property to fit my needs but could not achieve my goal.

<s:NumericAxis AxisAlignment="Left"
               Id="MagnitudeAxis"
               VisibleRangeLimit="0, 0.05"
               AxisTitle="{lex:Loc MagnitudeAxisLabel}" />

Are there other options to achieve this or am i doing somthing wrong?

I’m trying to change the AutoRange property of my axis in a VisualStateManager storyboard and it’s throwing an exception saying the value is invalid. Is this not possible or should the object/property be accessed differently?

Exception: “The animation(s) applied to the ‘AutoRange’ property calculate a current value of ‘AutoRange.Once’, which is not a valid value for the property.”

<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="AutoRange" Storyboard.TargetName="XAxis">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="AutoRange.Once"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
.
.
.
<sc:NumericAxis x:Name="XAxis" AxisTitle="Time (s)" TitleFontSize="14" AutoRange="Always"/>

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!

SciChart WPF control

I’m trying to configure the axis range using VisibleRange. Is it possible that in Visible range, I set only min value and then max value is set automatically by tracking the maximum value series has? Same way, if I set max value of VisibleRange then min value is set automatically by tracking min value of the series? How to achieve the VisibleRange setting by just setting one of Min/Max value?

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 !

Does the android version of SciChart feature logartihmic axis scaling ?

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 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.

Hi:

My name is Harold Ramírez and I have a question I would like you to answer because I don’t find any doucmentation about it online.

I have a WPF application with several charts, some of them in 3D. These 3D charts have the X axis in horizontal, Y in vertical and the Z in depth. I want only to keep the labels on the X and Y axis, on the left and bottom of the chart.

The only documentation I have found is this page: https://www.scichart.com/documentation/v5.x/webframe.html#Showing%20Axis%20Labels%20on%20one%20side%20of%20the%203D%20Chart.html, and only shows how to make it in XAML, but I need it to do it programatically in C#.

Thank you for your time.

Harold.

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’m developing an app in WPF and i found that it crashes when i’m dereferencing the user control where my chart lives in and have 1 or more points selected by code in one chart when the other one is not visible.

i would be very apreciated if someone could tell me a hint of where i have to look for the solution or what do this methods do or touch.

more data about the chart:

• I have 2 fastlinerenderable series each with 2 Yaxis for itselves and 2 shared XAxis.
• I also have a modified listbox which is have it’s sincronization synced to the chart.
• have a modifiergroup to pan,zoom and select.

this is my Selectionmodifier:

<scicharts:DataPointSelectionModifier
                        Name="ChartSelection"
                        SelectionFill="#B1B5B2B2" 
                        XAxisId="{Binding XAxisType, NotifyOnTargetUpdated=True}"
                        TargetUpdated="ChartSelection_TargetUpdated"
                        SelectionStroke="#009E9C9C"
                        IsEnabled="{Binding SelectionMode}" >

I think that this is the axis that breaks my program but it needs it to not crash when i select.

this is my stacktrace:

An unhandled exception of type ‘System.NullReferenceException’ occurred in SciChart.Charting.dll

en SciChart.Charting.ChartModifiers.DataPointSelectionModifier.DeselectAllPointMarkers()
en SciChart.Charting.ChartModifiers.DataPointSelectionModifier.OnXAxisIdDependencyPropertyChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)

I tried to make a program that could replicate the error but i couldn’t.

thanks in advance.

Hi,

Can Axis show the value of 10-15 level data? Is there any limitation for the numeric axis?

Hi, I want to make the YAxis show only certain label (max, min, or others) only like the attached image. I want to ask if it is possible to show axis value unevenly. Thanks!
