Tag: Slow loading

Hi, I’m struggling to reduce times for loading draw (5,000Series x 5,000points) x 10 charts
which is in Scichart example ‘Load 500Seriesx500points’.

1. Present, Loading (5,000Series x 5,000points) x 10 charts consumes about 1 minutes.
   How can i load and draw this more faster?

2. And While in loading, how can i generate and show a Progress bar?

Hello,

we are building an application where Charts are created/placed by the user in a form of editor.

We observed that the creation of the first Chart takes between 1 to 3 seconds (depending on the system) but the creation of subsequent Charts takes virtually no time (as it should be).

We assume that the creation of the first Chart involves some kind of time consuming initialization that is later used in the creation of subsequent Charts.

So we have researched if there is a way to do this initialization at the start of our application, so the user is not inconvenienced by a three second waiting time while placing the first Chart.

We discovered the “LoadLibrariesAndLicenseAsync”-function. However, it looks like it has no measurable effect.

Maybe we are using it wrong?

Here is an example code to illustrate the problem in a condensed manner:

Two charts are created and each time the time it takes to create them is measured.

The first creation takes about 1600 milliseconds, the second one only 2.

How can we make both creations only take a few milliseconds?

Thank you.

           "our key",
            null); //...does not seem to work
