Tag: Heatmap

Hello,

I had previously commented on an existing issue, but wanted to bump here since it’s impeding development.

When adding a DataPointSelectionModifier to a chart surface containing a FastUniformHeatmapRenderableSeries with a UniformHeatmapDataSeries, an exception is thrown on a mouse drag.

The modifier is added simply with:

<s:SciChartSurface.ChartModifier>
    <s:ModifierGroup>
        <s:DataPointSelectionModifier/>
    </s:ModifierGroup>
</s:SciChartSurface.ChartModifier>

After adding this modifier and using my mouse to select a part of the heatmap, I get the following System.InvalidOperationException (stack trace below):

"Metadata for his type cannot be returned as an one-dimentional array. Please use the IPointMetadata[,] Metadata property"

I’m assuming this is happening because DataPointSelectionModifier was by default not meant for data series with 2D arrays, but I’m not sure how to follow the exception message “Please use the IPointMetadata[,] Metadata property”.

Ultimately I am trying to run a calculation on the selected subset of the heatmap. Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance!

I’m trying to add more intervals into the legend of the Heat map. So far it only displays 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0, but I would like to edit it to display the numbers 0-10. From what I understand, the TickProvider API only works with an X or Y axis so I’m not sure if there’s a way to add the function.

Hello!

I am trying to programmatically set a range for HeatmapColorPalette and attached HeatmapColorMap to min and max of my data.

Binding HeatmapColorPalette.Maximum to a property in my View Model works well. However, when I add HeatmapColorMap everything breaks, the heat map no longer responds to changes in View Model.

What am I doing wrong?

Here is my View:

        HorizontalAlignment="Center"
        Value="{Binding ColorMaximum}"/>
</Grid>

The idea in this small example is for slider to control both HeatmapColorPalette.Maximum and s:HeatmapColorMap.Maximum

The code in my View Model is pretty simple:

private double mColorMax;

public double ColorMaximum
    {
        get => mColorMax;

        set
        {
            mColorMax = value;
            OnPropertyChanged();
        }
    }

My View Model implements INotifyPropertyChanged

I will appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you in advance!

Hello!

I am trying to render a HeatMap and align labels next to squares (see the attached image). However, I am running into two issues.

Firstly, I am using RenderTransform to shift labels so that they are aligned with the squares instead of being on the borders between them. It works, but does not look good as I resize the control.

Second, the axes render the last label outside the view. I tried setting VisualRange and VisualRangeLimit but it did not help. It hides the last data column (or row) and still displays the last label.

Any suggestions on how I can solve it?

I am attaching a sample project.

Thank you in advance!

I would like to add labels to contour lines as shown in this previous post.

https://www.scichart.com/questions/wpf/is-it-possible-to-do-contour-plots

I have created the heat map with contours, and now I want to programmatically add labels. To this end. I have created a contour series in my view model

        var contourSeries = new FastUniformContourRenderableSeries
        {
            DataSeries = dataSeries,
            ZMin = 0.0,
            ZMax = 50.0,
            ZStep = 4.0
        };

This is the same series as I have already plotted. I have looked through this object, trying to find the plotted contour lines, so I can calculate positions to put labels, but I have not found the data. Can you tell me how to extract the plotted contour curve data?

To avoid arrays in LOH the UniformHeatmapDataSeries should use IList[] or Span instead of TZ[,].

Hi SciChart-Team,

I’m currently rewrite one of our applications and move this from the leagacy .NET Framework to .NET Core.
I also replace the old SciChart.DirectX package and the DirectX Renderer plugin with the new VisualXcceleratorEngine witch is also based on DirectX.

In one chart we display a Order Spectrum as a heatmap (FastUniformHeatmapRenderableSeries) with linearly interpolated color between the cells. Thefore we activate the property UseLinearTextureFiltering.

But with the new VisualXcceleratorEngine is there no linearly interpolated color between the cells. Is this feature only available for the old DirectX Renderer plugin??

Thanks

I want to create a chart like the attached image file.
I want to mark points with different colors depending on the number of data corresponding to the x and y axes.
As a result of searching, there is a HeatmapColorPalette. Is it good to use this?
If there is a more suitable chart, please introduce it.
thank you

Hello,
I want to create a heatmap sync with a CandlestickRenderableSeries which using DiscontinuousDateTimeAxis, is it possible to make heatmap column align with ohlc point?

Hi,

I want to change the colormap so that the:
– minimum (blue) = 4095
– maximum (red) = 800

Also, I want to set 0 to either black or transparent.

I can easily change the min and max values, just wanting to change the color limit and set 0 = black.

Here is my code for creating the heatmap:

public void heatmap(){
    // Create a SciChartSurface
    SciChartSurface surface = new SciChartSurface(this);
    // Get a layout declared in "activity_main.xml" by id
    LinearLayout chartLayout = findViewById(R.id.chart_layout);
    // Add the SciChartSurface to the layout
    chartLayout.addView(surface);
    // Initialize the SciChartBuilder
    SciChartBuilder.init(this);
    // Obtain the SciChartBuilder instance
    final SciChartBuilder sciChartBuilder = SciChartBuilder.instance();
    final NumericAxis xAxis = sciChartBuilder.newNumericAxis()
            .withGrowBy(0.1, 0.1)
            .build();
    final NumericAxis yAxis = sciChartBuilder.newNumericAxis()
            .withGrowBy(0.1, 0.1)
            .build();
    final FastUniformHeatmapRenderableSeries heatmapRenderableSeries = sciChartBuilder.newUniformHeatmap()
            .withMinimum(4095)
            .withMaximum(800)
            .withCellTextStyle(sciChartBuilder.newFont().withTextSize(8).withTextColor(ColorUtil.White).build())
            .withDrawTextInCell(true)
            .withDataSeries(createDataSeries())
            .build();
    final SciChartSurface chart = surface;
    Collections.addAll(chart.getXAxes(), xAxis);
    Collections.addAll(chart.getYAxes(), yAxis);
    Collections.addAll(chart.getRenderableSeries(), heatmapRenderableSeries);
    Collections.addAll(chart.getChartModifiers(), sciChartBuilder.newModifierGroupWithDefaultModifiers().build());
}

Hi , many of the charts provide a way to set the date on the x axis for the data series and that makes the axis match the DataSeries value defined for that axis, but for heatmap dataseries when you define xType as date the xAxis of type date is not displaying on surface, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong and there is no sample for dates on GitHub , the samples only use int , would be great if you can provide a date sample for the heatmap , thanks

I am developing android app where i received data from pressure sensor(attached to arduino) and want to show it in scichart heatmap. i created succesfully scichart heatmap with IPaletteProvider. Now i want to update the heatmap with pressure sensor but currently i am unable to update my heatmap. Here is my Whole(PressureActivity code)code.

if (intent.getAction().equals(Constants.DATA)) {
String data = intent.getStringExtra(“DATA”);
if (data.contains(“ccccc”)) {
int index = data.indexOf(‘/’);
int indexx = data.indexOf(‘#’);
String d = data.substring((index + 1), indexx);
DoubleValues doubleValues=new DoubleValues(1);
doubleValues.add(Double.parseDouble(d));
dataSeries.updateZValues(doubleValues);
}
}

The above code is piece of android code where i actually received data from arduino and want to show it in heatmap so i update my dataSeries value. In my case
i use UniformHeatmapDataSeries<Integer, Integer, Double> dataSeries
But it did not work and shows only a rectangal of blue color and not updating with coming data.
Any one have any idea how to fix it.Thanks in advance.

Hi there:

I am developing an application where the main chart is a heat map type one. I would like to have a custom cursor modifier to show some values of the x, y and z axes with limit digits. The problem is that so far I get these result:

EDIT: PLEASE INSERT AN IMAGE HERE

I would like to show only 1 decimal in the Z axis and 0 decimals en the X and Y axis. I have checked your modifiers demo but it seems to be not working for my heatmap chart. Any kind of advice about this issue would help me to have the application I am looking for.

Hi,
I would like to draw a polygon over a heatMap using an inherited class of UniformHeatMapDataSeries.
An example using FastHeatMapRenderableSeries was described here : https://www.scichart.com/questions/wpf/drawing-a-polygon-upon-a-heatmap-chart ,but it is now deprecated since SciCharts V5.

Instead of that, i tried to declare an inherited class of CustomRenderableSeries as shown here :

public class PolygonRenderableSeries : CustomRenderableSeries {
protected override void Draw(IRenderContext2D renderContext, IRenderPassData renderPassData)
{
base.Draw(renderContext, renderPassData);
}
}

What i need now is to pass a List of Polygons to this class in order to draw them directly. I know how to draw a polygon, but i don’t know how to override the renderPassData for adding polygons to it.

Could you help me about that ?
Best regards,
