I am not able to find the data point corresponding to current mouse position on heatmap series PreviewMouseMove event.

Here is my code,

private void Contour_PreviewMouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        var xCalc = Contour.RenderableSeries[0].XAxis.GetCurrentCoordinateCalculator();
        var yCalc = Contour.RenderableSeries[0].YAxis.GetCurrentCoordinateCalculator();
        Point mousePoint = e.GetPosition(((SciChartSurface)sender).ModifierSurface as UIElement);
        double peakXCordInfoValue = xCalc.GetDataValue(mousePoint.X);
        double peakYCordInfoValue = yCalc.GetDataValue(mousePoint.Y);
    }

“Contour” is my SciChart object. When I debugged to find out my X and Y axis data points and compared them with what I find above in peakXCordInfoValue, then they don’t match. Ideally if I am finding the data point then it should match exactly.

I also tried to find index

var index = Contour.RenderableSeries[0].DataSeries.FindIndex(yDataForCoordinate, SearchMode.Nearest);

But it gives error “Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.”
I also tried cursormodifier and its OnModifierMouseMove event, but it gives same error.

For Example: The actual data point on Y axis is 280.774501562118, and the above code returns 280.523009343212

I refactored from using custom RenderableSeries to a custom RenderableSeriesViewModel which has fixed a refresh bug in the chart:

  public class CustomExclusionRenderableSeriesViewModel : BaseRenderableSeriesViewModel
  {
     public override Type RenderSeriesType => typeof(CustomExclusionRenderableSeries);
  }

However I am invoking MouseLeftButtonUp in the chart code behind and performing a hit test. The HitTest method is not exposed on the BaseRenderableSeriesViewModel:

 private void SciChartSurfaceMouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
 {                          
    // Perform the hit test relative to the GridLinesPanel
    Point hitTestPoint = e.GetPosition(this.sciChart.GridLinesPanel as UIElement);

    // Get hit test the RenderableSeries using interpolation
    this.ViewModel.HitTestInfo = this.ViewModel.ExclusionSeries.HitTest(hitTestPoint, true);

Is there any way to get the series instance from the view model & hit test it?

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.

Hello,

I’m relatively new to SciChart and I’m facing a challenge with customizing the appearance of a dynamically created series that is bound to a SciChartSurface using SeriesBinding in WPF.

I have a VerticalSliceModifier in my XAML where I define a VerticalLineAnnotation. My series is created in code as a MountainRenderableSeriesViewModel and then bound to the chart using SeriesBinding. Here’s the relevant code snippets:

<s:SciChartSurface
    Grid.Row="1"
    Background="Transparent"
    BorderThickness="0"
    RenderableSeries="{s:SeriesBinding Series}"
    Annotations="{s:AnnotationsBinding Annotations}">

    <s:VerticalSliceModifier ShowTooltipOn="Never" Foreground="White" Name="sliceModifier">
        <s:VerticalSliceModifier.VerticalLines>
            <s:VerticalLineAnnotation X1="{Binding Number}" Style="{StaticResource sliceStyle}" />
        </s:VerticalSliceModifier.VerticalLines>
    </s:VerticalSliceModifier>

</s:SciChartSurface>


public class MountainRenderableSeriesViewModel
{
    public DataSeriesViewModel<double, double> DataSeries { get; set; }
    public DataTemplate RolloverMarkerTemplate { get; set; }
    // Other properties...

    public MountainRenderableSeriesViewModel()
    {
        // Initialize your DataSeries and other properties

        // Set the RolloverMarkerTemplate for this series
        RolloverMarkerTemplate = Application.Current.Resources["CustomRolloverMarkerTemplate"] as DataTemplate;
    }
}

My challenge is that I want to customize the RolloverMarkerTemplate for this dynamically created series. Most of the examples I’ve found show how to use RolloverMarkerTemplate with a statically defined series, but I cannot figure out how to assign it when the series is created in a ViewModel and bound to the chart using SeriesBinding.

Any guidance or code examples on how to achieve this customization would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

I use SciChart v5.4.0.12119 trial to display FastLineRenderableSeries in my WPF application. It works with the default black background. But when I change the background to white (), the background gets messed up in white-black strips.

I tried to disable hardware acceleration. hwndSource.CompositionTarget.RenderMode = System.Windows.Interop.RenderMode.SoftwareOnly; It doesn’t help.

What could cause the issue?

I am creating a graph for 10 data series using Scichart, with the most optimal legend placement for the graph being “Top” with Horizontal Orientation as shown in the code below. I would like to keep the spacing compact so all the data series can be visible without the need for the scrollbar, however because of the checkboxes for selecting each series being enabled I cannot compress the spaces to make all the data series visible. I did try using a custom legend with the typical binding but to no avail. I have attached an image of the current legend as well.

<s:LegendModifier Name="legendModifier" Margin="1" Width="1" ShowLegend="True" Orientation="Horizontal"
                                  HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"
                                  LegendPlacement="Top" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
                                  Visibility="Visible"/>

Is it possible to format the legend so as to keep all the series names visible while maintaining the checkboxes for displaying or hiding individual data series?

I am have a vertical stacked chart setup which shares the same x- axis ranges. I am trying to find a way to add vertical lines in both the charts at once and further I need the vertical lines to be dragged in sync. When one vertical line annotation is dragged, I need the same movement to happen in the other chart as well. I can share a prototype if you want. Please suggest a solution.

Hi!

I’ve tried to access the values to print them in a different view, but I cant reach them. So my question is there a specific way to reach them?

HI,
I am using Scichart for drawing multiple line series on the same chart.
sciChart Image
video to make it more clear https://youtu.be/O0WiocmldXY , when we have many channels we face a performance issue due to that, and the update rate of the lines become much higher and the responsive of the UI becomes bad.

this kind of graph called segmented graph, what it does it cuts a small portion from other line chart, and draw the data that crosses a specified threshold that the user choose.

we want to draw, up to 100 lines at the same time. each line has 30,000 points.

we assume that the high number of data series causes bad performance.
what can we do, to increase performance? is there a different line series we can use?

Hi

I am trying to use StackedMountainSeries to implement the trade data as following pic.

But I noticed an unexpected behavior (incorrect.png).

The blank area is displayed near the center red point (which data value is 0).

How to fill the blank area? And what is the correct way to render the trade data as same as the attached pic?

Thanks,
David.

Hi,
Is it possible to show contour of bars in ColumnRenderableSeries3D?
Is there way to do this?

ColumnRenderableSeries3D has a Stroke property, but does not appear to have any effect on setting this property.

best regards
Silvester

Hi,
I’m prototyping an application with two visible data series and an individual Y-axis for each data series. See the enclosed image.
The Stroke color of each data series, the TickTextBrush and the BorderBrush of the y-axis are updated by normal data Binding through the MVVM pattern.
The problem is that I am not able to data bind the Stroke property of the MajorTickLineStyle for the individual Y-axis.
Do You know if there is a workaround for this through data binding?
The project is enclosed.

Hi,

I’m trying to evaluate the reality of creating multiple realtime charts and I’m hitting a huge performance brick wall.

My application will have high speed streamed data coming in over ethernet. Currently I’m simulating this with a thread timer that updates 100 data objects at 60Hz. Screen data and chart updates I’ve got throttled to 30Hz but it’s still grinding my charts are still struggling. If I move the mouse pointer the charts freeze entirely until the mouse is still.

I want the end user to be able to choose any data object and chart it however they want. Adding charts and adding plots to charts etc. To enable this I’ve created a chart template as a user control and at runtime the charts are added to a panel on a tab control. Event one chart on one tab chugs though. Move the mouse over it and it locks up.

I have a single overview chart with a scrollbar over the top on the parent control. I need this to control the cursor (vertical line) and shared X visible range. Live data is Fifo limited to a 10 second range. All this works, just painfully slowly.

SharedXVisible range is MVVM bound. Renderable series is LineRenderableSeriesViewModel and data is pushed at 30Hz from a Data provider as per this tutorial:
https://www.scichart.com/documentation/win/current/Tutorial%2006b%20-%20Adding%20Realtime%20Updates%20with%20MVVM.html

CPU usage is sub 20%. Max frame rate is 30fps. Render priority doesn’t seem to make much difference, though “immediate” will lock up the whole app. I’m no expert at performance profiling but I’m not getting any clues from ReShaper dotTrace so far.

I tried creating a version that hand almost no binding and used codebehind to update the data. It didn’t seem to help. I’d rather not do this though as I have a lot of things working that I like such as vertical slice, annotations, templates etc.

I’ve got a list of all the live data on the right of the screen and it all updates rapidly, even while the mouse is moving and the charts are frozen.

I’m also using some Syncfusion controls and theming, if it matters.

I must be missing something obvious surely.

Hello,

I am currently working on a proof of concept to move make our software cross platform. Currently, we use the WPF charting package but we have the full bundle so we have access to all the charts. I’m working on a Maui Blazor app where the UI and its logic are stored in a razor class lib and most of the services are stored in the shared WebAssembly project. Ideally, I would like to create the chart data inside a service and then create the appropriate views for each platform using the platform specific charts. Eventually my plan is to have a Blazor WASM project that we host online (where users can view their data), a Maui app that will run on Windows and Mac, and a WPF app that will host the project on computers that aren’t running Windows 10 and 11.

Are there any plans to implement a shared library of some type for the IRenderableSeriesViewModel, IDataSeries, IPaletteProvider, etc. where we could reference these interfaces regardless of platform?

Thank you,

Tim Stephansen

Hi!

I would like to plot a series as a solid line AND include error bars. The way I do this now is to define a single series:

var fSeries    = new HlcDataSeries<double, double>();
fSeries.SeriesName = $"My Series!";

And then two different ViewModels:

var fLineVm = new LineRenderableSeriesViewModel();
var fErrorVm = new ErrorBarsRenderableSeriesViewModel();

And set the data series to belong to both:

fLineVm.DataSeries = fSeries;
fErrorVm.DataSeries = fSeries;

This looks ok. But when I show the legend, I see “My Series” in the legend twice, and I can control the error bars separately from the line series.

What I want to happen is that I see the series a single time in the legend and if I turn it off (uncheck it) everything disappears.

Right now, i’m adding those two ViewModels to an ObservableCollection of IRenderableSeriesViewModels and then SeriesBinding to display them.

Hello,

Is there a corresponding Documentation for the 3D Chart like this one for 2D Charts: https://www.scichart.com/example/wpf-chart-example-series-with-metadata/

What I am trying to do is to make some PointMarkers of the ScatterRenderableSeries3DViewModel in the 3D Chart bigger depending on the PointMetadata3D.
For 2D Charts I could accomplish that with the Documentation mentioned above. Now I want to do the same for 3D Charts.

Can someone give me a hint how to do that?

Hello,

On our SciChart’s XAxis we are using a NumericAxis and within the NumericAxis we bind to a LabelProvider. In the UI, this works perfectly and we get the XAxis appearing with the titles we desire (as strings writing over the numeric values 0, 1, 2, …). Meanwhile the YAxis doesn’t use any LabelProvider and stays numeric. The XAxis.LabelProvider is an IList of strings.

Although this works great in the UI, when I export the SciChart it does not pick up the LabelProvider and the exported image only contains the numeric values 0, 1, 2, … on the XAxis.

I do the export as following:

SciChartSurfaceBase.ExportToFile(filename, SciChart.Core.ExportType.Png, useXamlRenderSurface, exportedSize);

Is there a way to get the ExportToFile command to acknowledge the LabelProvider is there like it does with the UI?

Thank you!

HI,
I’m new in scichart. I would like to ask you if it’s possible to build a graph with custom candles.
I want to build a footprint graph, something like this:

could you tell me if It’s possible to build this kind of graph and suggest me some links with documentation?

Thank you

Hi, I want to know buffer structure of 2d fastline.

I use very huge data per line.(maybe about 30,000 points/1 sec are appended to a line.)

But Memory usage is different than expected.

I use fifocapacity, and It is realtime graph.

Appending data, the memory usage increases too much.

Especially, It use more memory when drawing more lines.

For example,
Assuming one line uses 100mb, the five lines use 5000mb not 500mb.

Is it right??

Hi,

I’m attempting to attach a generic/abstract DataSeries to an INotifyPropertyChanged object. However, the TX, TY generics seem to block me from using it as expected. Can anyone help me out?

internal class DataSeriesAbstract : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    public string dataName;
    public double lastAppendedTimestamp = 0.0f;

    public List<AbstractChartViewModel> subscribers;

    // gives an error that TX and TY cannot be found
    public DataSeries<TX, TY> realData;
    public DataSeries<TX, TY> Data
    {
        get { return realData; }
        set
        {
            realData = value;
            OnPropertyChanged(dataName);
        }
    }
...
}

Thank you

Hello.
Thanks for previous answer but I can’t check how it work because of new problem. I develop WPF application and try to use MVVM as architecture pattern. In the Model part of my application I used a loop started in the new thread. In that loop I get some data which received to ViewModel and used as chart data. Looks as usual.
But then I tried to set visible range updated object which bound to axis I get exception ‘System.InvalidOperationException: ‘The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it.’ in my loop. I know it happens in WPF applications and need to use Dispatcher to solve it. But as I know if you try to use MVVM you not needed to use Dispatcher often because WPF-binding in most cases is thread-safe. That happend in my case? How to solve it?

Hello
I’m working on a WPF app. Everything is OK except that I don’t understand how to render the series above the annotations.
The XAML code is the following:

<s:SciChartSurface Name="sciChartSurface"
                   s:ThemeManager.Theme="SciChartv4Dark"
                   Annotations="{Binding Path=Annotations}"

                       VisibleRange="{Binding Path=YAxis.AxisRange,
                                              Mode=TwoWay}"

                       />
    </s:SciChartSurface.YAxis>
</s:SciChartSurface>

Edit: this is the code that creates the horizontal annotation:

 /// <summary>
    /// Creates a chart annotation
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="a"></param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    private AnnotationBase CreateChartAnnotation(Annotation a)
    {
        HorizontalLineAnnotation annotation;

        //not used??
        //ColorToBrushConverter brushConverter = new ColorToBrushConverter();

        annotation = new HorizontalLineAnnotation() { Y1 = a.ThresholdValue.Value };
        annotation.Stroke = new SolidColorBrush((Color)ColorConverter.ConvertFromString(a.Stroke));
        annotation.HorizontalAlignment = System.Windows.HorizontalAlignment.Stretch;
        annotation.IsEditable = false;
        annotation.LabelTextFormatting = string.Format("{0} 0.0", a.Label);
        annotation.StrokeThickness = 2;
        annotation.LabelPlacement = LabelPlacement.Axis;
        annotation.ShowLabel = a.ShowLabel;
        if (a.DashArray != null)
        {
            annotation.StrokeDashArray = new DoubleCollection(a.DashArray);
        }


        return annotation;
    }

I tried to set AnnotationCanvas.BelowChart but the behaviour is very strange: the horizontal annotation line is no more continuous
I attached two jpegs

Hey Guys,

On a SciChart surface (CandleStickChart), how could I add LineAnnotation, BoxAnnotation, and TextBox annotation using TradingAnnotationCreationModifierMvvm (available under
ChartAnnotations/Trade Annotations sample). I have recreated a sample, based on the example.

Following is my XAML code,

Chart Surface: Modifiers.

<s:TradingAnnotationCreationModifierMvvm AnnotationViewModelType="{Binding DataContext.AnnotationCreationVM.AnnotationType, Source={StaticResource ROOT_OHLC_CHART_SPY}}"

                                                         IsEnabled="{Binding DataContext.AnnotationCreationVM.IsAnnotationCreationEnable, Source={StaticResource ROOT_OHLC_CHART_SPY}, Mode=TwoWay}"
                                                         ReceiveHandledEvents="True">
                            <i:Interaction.Behaviors>
                                <ext:EventToCommandBehavior Command="{Binding DataContext.AnnotationCreationVM.AnnotationCreatedCommand, Source={StaticResource ROOT_OHLC_CHART_SPY}}"
                                                    Event="AnnotationCreated"
                                                    PassArguments="True" />

                {
                    OHLCVChart chart = surface.DataContext as OHLCVChart;
                    Annotations = chart.LAnnotations;
                    SelectedAnnotation = Annotations.FirstOrDefault(x => x.IsSelected);
                }
            }                
        }
        catch { }        
    }

If there is any other way to club all Trading related annotations + TextBox, Line, TrendLine Annotations creation dynamically using any other modiefier, that will do. We are tying to build Trading charts: with Ability to add annotations.

Thanks.

With fifocapacity(XyDataSeries), memory behaves like an image. (Repeat ups and downs)
Is this due to fifocapacity(XyDataSeries)?

Capture : x = minutes , y = MB

Hi all,

Why the API’s for iOS, Android and WPF are not identically?
I have seen many samples on the forum, but to adapt it to a different platform is very hard.
A lot of classes are different for each platform.

• Is there any “comparison” for the different platforms?
• Is this planned to unify the API’s?

Regards
Urs

but not for any other platform.

Hello everybody,

I didnt find any answer to this. Is it possible to display data from year 0 to year 9999?

Until now i figuered out, that data from the year 834 to 9166 can be displayed. Beyond this range (eg to 9499) not data were displayed and the x-axis shows todays date.

Thanks for any help
Emanuel

Hello,

I have created a custom “polygon geometry” based on the BaseSceneEntity class. Since it can be any shape, all non-closed shapes like a plane (in 3D space) are only lit from the side from which the normal vector of my triangles points. The other side is pitch black. Is there a way to illuminate both sides when I rotate the shape?
