SciChartTeam SciChart version 6.4.0.13633 does not contain Composite Annotation code file examples
WPF Annotations   CompositeAnnotation

I downloaded the SciChartTeam SciChart version 6.4.0.13633 release from Git , thinking I would be able to get myself educated regarding Composite Annotations , which is something that has been requested by our field engineers.
The reference however given in the xaml file gives me :

Resources/ExampleSourceFiles/AnnotateAChart/CompositeAnnotations/CompositeAnnotationsView.xaml.txt

within the solution. That reference does not include any source files (see attached image)

Since Composite Annotations is fairly complex, code examples and a working example solution, showing Composite Annotations implemented would be extremely helpful for me. Is there a running example I can download / view/ interact with ?

Appreciate support in this matter

Thank you

Resizing composite Annotation
WPF Resizing   CompositeAnnotation    CustomIResizingGrip

Hello

I Need some help within the composite annotation resizing.

I created a composite annotation based on the composite annotations example. I need to calculate the range between to vertical line on the surface, so I took the MeasurmentXAnnotation.xaml as base code of mine.

however i need to be able to resize the composite annotation not only from the 4 edges (ResizingGrips), but also when the user drag the line annotations to left or to right.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Best regard

Issue with CompositeAnnotation and TabControl
WPF BoxAnnotation    Annotations   WPF   CompositeAnnotation

I have created a composite annotation that consists of four elements: two VerticalLineAnnotations, a BoxAnnotation, and a TextAnnotation. When I first add the annotation, everything appears correctly. However, when I change between tabs in my TabControl… the BoxAnnotation disappears. The box will reappear when I move the composite annotation a few pixels.

Note: Calling ZoomExtents() or InvalidateElement() does not fix the issue.

I’ve created a simple app to reproduce the issue.

PeakAnnotation.xaml

Add grip handles to BoxAnnotation
WPF BoxAnnotation    CompositeAnnotation    griphandle

Is there a way to add grip handles to the left-center and right-center of a box annotation. By default, grip handles are only created on the four corners of the box. See the attached image. Currently I am creating my annotations in the code behind and view models, not XAML.

If a composite annotation needs to be created, that is fine.

CustomAnnotation X1, Y1 and X2, Y2 is null when creating
WPF CompositeAnnotation

hello, i have a problem, my TestAnnotation class X Y is null when creating.

code:

public class TestAnnotationViewModel : CompositeAnnotationViewModel
{
    public override Type ViewType
    {
        get { return typeof(TestAnnotation); }
    }
}

public class TestAnnotation : CompositeAnnotation
{
    public TestAnnotation() : base()
    {
        DefaultStyleKey = typeof(CompositeAnnotation);
    }

    public override void Update(ICoordinateCalculator<double> xCoordCalc, ICoordinateCalculator<double> yCoordCalc)
    {
        base.Update(xCoordCalc, yCoordCalc);

        //i want to do some thing, but X1 Y1 X2 Y2 is null, and i get exception.
        //this code from Composite Annotations Examples
        if (Y1.CompareTo(Y2) > 0) // <===exception
        {
            MeasureText.VerticalAnchorPoint = VerticalAnchorPoint.Top;
            MeasureText.Margin = new Thickness(0, 5, 0, 0);
        }
        else
        {
            MeasureText.VerticalAnchorPoint = VerticalAnchorPoint.Bottom;
            MeasureText.Margin = new Thickness(0, -5, 0, 0);
        }
    }
}

Composite annotation RelativeY doesn't work
WPF LineAnnotation   CompositeAnnotation

I am trying to add a “LineArrowAnnotation” using a composite annotation.
When I run my code (see below) I get an exception (also below).
When I put “AnnotationCoordinateMode” in AnnotationCoordinateMode.Absolute,
it will show the LineArrowAnnotation, but on the wrong place.

When I run my code I get the following exception:

‘NaN’ is not a valid value for property ‘Y1’.

And this is the stack trace:

   at System.Windows.DependencyObject.SetValueCommon(DependencyProperty dp, Object value, PropertyMetadata metadata, Boolean coerceWithDeferredReference, Boolean coerceWithCurrentValue, OperationType operationType, Boolean isInternal)

This is the code I use to draw the “LineArrowAnnotation”:

var line = new LineArrowAnnotation
{
     X1 = (double)annotation.MeasureFrom,
     X2 = (double)annotation.MeasureTo,
     Y1 = 0.9d,
     Y2 = 0.9d,
     Padding = new Thickness(0, 20, 0, 20),
     HeadLength = 4,
     HeadWidth = 6,
     //ToolTip = annotation.Tooltip,
     SnapsToDevicePixels = true,
     //CoordinateMode = AnnotationCoordinateMode.Absolute,
     CoordinateMode = AnnotationCoordinateMode.RelativeY,
     Stroke = new SolidColorBrush(color),
     StrokeDashArray = new DoubleCollection { 2, 2 },
     Tag = annotation,
};
Annotations.Add(line);

Multi-click (more than 2) CompositeAnnotation
WPF CompositeAnnotation    pattern

Hello,

I am trying to create a XABCD pattern annotation. Currently, I am able to create the XA, AB, BC, CD legs using LineAnnotation then add the two remaining XB and BD lines programmatically. However, when creating the LineAnnotations, I am not getting the real-time feedback between the 1st and 2nd clicks. I have full source code but from what I can see, all SciChart annotations are at most, limited to 2 clicks. I’ve read through the Fibonacci composite annotations which are close to what I’m trying to achieve but only allow interaction by 2 clicks since they’re based on BoxAnnotation.

I am currently using full MVVM with a custom derived class from AnnotationCreationModifier per this article: Editing annotations and keeping track of them in an mvvm application combined with the Multi-Pane Stock Chart example. For the PatternAnnotationViewModel, I am using dependency properties for X, A, B, C, D so they are bindable if needed.

Huge thanks in advance,
Jason

Psuedo code
1st click
Place point X portion of XA LineAnnotation, begin visual feedback for point A
2nd click
Place point A
Set beginning of AB to A, begin visual feedback for point B
3rd click
Place point B
Set beginning of BC, begin visual feedback for point C
Draw XB LineAnnotation
PolygonFill XAB region
4th click
Place point C
Set beginning of CD, begin visual feedback for point D
5th click
Place point D
Draw BD LineAnnotation
PolygonFill BCD region
