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
