Some customers are reporting the following exception when upgrading to SciChart v6.1.0.13075 or 6.1.1.13136 via NuGet

SciChartSurface didn't render, because an exception was thrown:

It could be a different exception message but ‘Entry Point not Found in VXccelEngine2D.dll’ is the similar message shown in the exception.

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to do half-pie (as in the photo) with SciChartDonutSurface and if so how? Thanks!

XAxis Labels

I want to have a label on the x axis for each custom annotations. Is this possible. if so how do i do that.

Thanks

Hi there!

I am relatively new to C# and I am currently trying to plot a network dependency graph in my wpf application. This is something like a hierarchical edge bundling graph. https://vega.github.io/vega/examples/edge-bundling/

Are there any good plotting libraries out there that can help me achieve this? I have looked into Scichart and it does not seem to be able to do it.

Hello,
I am trying to add a BoxAnnotation with MVVM pattern where the X-Axis is a DateTime axis. The annotation can be dragged into the X-direction. I need to know the DateTime of each position while dragging and also the final position(DateTime) of the BoxAnnotation when the drag Ended. I am listening to the DragDelta and DragEnded events in ViewModel. But here I couldn’t able to get the DateTime from X1 and X2 of that annotation model. I am sharing some snippets of my code. Can you please let me know how I can achieve this?

In xaml:

<Style x:Key="_boxAnnotationStyle" BasedOn="{StaticResource AnnotationBaseStyle}" TargetType="scichart:BoxAnnotation">
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>

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.

Hello,

I have a WPF .Net 6 application running on Window 11 that monitors data coming from the network.
The app has five tab controls, each tab has four FIFO line charts.
I have another app (the “sender”) that sends simulated data to feed and test the “main” app.
Everything works beautifully when:
– The sender app is not running
– then, first navigate through all tabs, seeing an empty chart (expected)
– Launch the sender app.
– Navigate through tabs, watching them updating in near real time…

But…
If I do not initially navigate through all tabs, only the visible tab gets updated.

I suspect/speculate that SciChart code is doing some “critical” initializations on the OnLoaded event that are missed if tabs do not get loaded before setup.

We want the charts to get populated even if they are hidden at startup.

Any suggestions to fix the issue? Or am I doing anything wrong ?

Thank you

I am using a custom CursorModifier class in my WPF code. I have created a class inherited from CursorModifier for this purpose. Now I want to apply cross-hair cursor style to my chart. The style in XAML is not getting applied at all. However, when I use the CursorModifier directly (instead of custom modifier class) in XAML, then it applies.

If I changed the TargetType to “loca:MyCursorModifier”, then it gives error “The memeber StrokeThickness is not recognized” & “The “memeber Stroke is not recognized”.

<UserControl.Resources>
    <Style x:Key="CrossLineStyle" TargetType="Line">
        <Setter Property="StrokeThickness" Value="1" />
        <Setter Property="Stroke" Value="Black " />
    </Style>
</UserControl.Resources>

<local:MyCursorModifier ShowTooltip="False" ShowTooltipOn="Never" ShowAxisLabels="False" SourceMode="AllSeries" LineOverlayStyle="{StaticResource CursorLineStyle}"/>

Hi,
I am currently facing an issue related to our implementation.
We want the graph to zoom in whenever the user drags the y-axis upward, and conversely, zoom out when the user drags the y-axis downward. Importantly, this behavior should remain consistent regardless of whether the user drags the graph from the positive or negative side.

Hello is there way to update points in XyDataSeries without Garbage Collector call? Here is my code:

public void RefreshSignal(float[] xData, float[] yData)
{
        if (_series == null)
        {
             _series = new XyDataSeries<float, float>();
            _series.Append(xData, yData);
        }

         for (int i = 0; i < xData.Length; i++)
         {
               _series.Update(xData[i], yData[i]);
         }
}

I may use _series.YValues[i], but then UI will not update.

Main task for me fast update all 25k points in series each 30ms without GC calls.

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.

Hi SciChart!

I am evaluating the trial for possible use in a major project within our organisation.

We have decided to use the System.Reactive reactive extensions as our event handler and I have reached the point where I have an IObservableCollection (instantiated as ObservableCollectionExtended) of where T can be any type containing X and Y values.

My question is, is it possible to Bind a scichart Line Series on to such a collection in order to update via the reactivestream updates?

I’d rather not have to copy points into yet another collection type if possible.

Note: I looked at the nuget for scichart wpf reactive library and that seems to bind on to rx 2.2.5 whereas I’m using system.reactive 4.1.6

Any direction for a new-to-reactive developer would be greatly received.

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

Capture : x = minutes , y = MB

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 have a problem with the alignment of the Minor Grid Line.
As you can see on the ScreenShot, the minor lines are not synchronized with the major line. They are not in the same x-axis position.
How can I do this?

Furthermore, I would like to have a dotted line instead of the dotted line. How can I do this?
How can I define the number of points between the major grids? currently there are 15, but I do not define this, it must be determined internally by the SciChart.

Thank you for your support.

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.

My idea was to have two FastLineRenderableSeries that both share the same XyDataSeries. One series will display the data as-is as an absolute value, while the other will display the same data relative to some arbitrary value. Each series would get it’s own axis.

Is there a way to accomplish what I’m trying to do, or is there another approach that accomplishes the same thing?

Hello,

I want to implement a custom deltaX cursor in my software. It consists in two vertical lines that can be moved be the user and the idea to get the delta x (DateTime) between the two lines.
I’ve started to implement it by using two custom VerticalLineAnnotation added to a VerticalSliceManager. As my chart is a real time chart, I don’t want my cursors postions changed exepct on user interaction, that’s why I set to Relative the CoordinateMode property of my two Annotations.
The display and the interaction works fine, but when I try to retrieve the actual position of one cursor to compute the delta I have some trouble to convert the relative position to a DateTime value.
I have override the OnDragDelta() method, the relative value of X1 is correct but when I try to convert it into a DateTime by using FromRelativeCoordinate, I still have Date in 1899. I also try to interpret this as OA Date but I still have wrong date.

Do you have an idea ?
Thanks

 public override void OnDragDelta()
    {
        if (_sciChartSurface.XAxis != null)
        {
            double dataValue = (double)this.FromRelativeCoordinate((double)this.X1, _sciChartSurface.XAxis);
            DateTime classic = new DateTime((long)dataValue);
            DateTime fromOa = DateTime.FromOADate(dataValue);
            Debug.WriteLine("CLASSIC "+ classic);
            Debug.WriteLine("OA "+ fromOa);
        }
    }

I want to visualize the octave band.
How can I visualize it?

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?

I have introduced a real time chart in my WPF Application. The chart starts plotting points from the left of the chart ( close to Y-Axis).

I would like it to start plotting from the right of the chart ( Away from Y-Axis) and as when points start adding up, I would like the points to slide to the left ( Towards Y-Axis).

Similar to how performance tab in Task Manager displays the CPU utilization.

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

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,

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.

I got no reply…

I’m able to reproduce the issue in the thread above, or at least a similar issue with version 5.4

What my code has is a “Start/Stop” button. When “Start” is pressed, the Axes are cleared and re-initialized.
If just using Start / Stop then it works, but if I export the chart into an image (a PNG in that matter), and after few seconds I click on the “Start”, then few seconds later, the software crash on the exception mentioned above.

From what I’ve been able to debug, the Export to image create a new chart control with all the bindings, and renders it to an image.
When I click on start, then the Axis (in this case, I see that the Y Axes are the ones that cause it) are cleared and created in my view model, and therefore it also affects the chart.
The binding of the chart that was created for the rendering is probably not cleared, so it gets the change event after some time, and Arrange is being called.

I see that ArrangeOverride on the AxisPanel is called, and _axisTitle,Arrange is called at this point the application crashes.

Please fix it.

Btw, this is the stack trace:

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 am currently adding a Vertical Slice Modifier with just on Vertical Line inside of it.
The idea is to create a vertical cursor to display Y values for a given X value.
As my chart is a real time chart, I don’t want my cursor position changed expect on user interaction, I set to Relative the CoordinateMode property of my Annotation.

<s:VerticalSliceModifier Name="sliceModifier" ShowTooltipOn="Always" IsEnabled="True">
                    <s:VerticalSliceModifier.VerticalLines>
                        <s:VerticalLineAnnotation IsEditable="True" X1="0.5" Stroke="#D62D15" CoordinateMode="Relative"/>
                    </s:VerticalSliceModifier.VerticalLines>
                </s:VerticalSliceModifier>

The vertical line is correctly displayed at the centre of the surface but point markers and tooltips are not displayed at the line position, it seems the relative coordinate mode is not handle on this area.

Thanks for your help

I am considering applying server-side licensing for my javerScript application.

In the document below, there is a phrase “Our server-side licensing component is written in C++.”
(https://support-dev.scichart.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/17256/42/)

However, there is only asp.net sample code on the provided github.
(https://github.com/ABTSoftware/SciChart.JS.Examples/tree/master/Sandbox/demo-dotnet-server-licensing)

I wonder if there is a sample code implemented in C++ for server-side licensing.

Can you provide c++ sample code?
Also, are there any examples to run on Ubuntu?

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:

        Minimum="0" 
        Maximum="10" 
        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 set the interval on the x-axis in a polar plot but it doesn’t appear to be accepting it and plotting accordingly. My axis definition is quite simple:

<s:SciChartSurface.XAxis>
       <s:PolarXAxis Name="TFxAxis" MajorDelta="15"/>
</s:SciChartSurface.XAxis>

I am plotting angles and radii so one data point might be (45, 1) and the next (50, 2) and so on where my visible range is TFxAxis.VisibleRange = new DoubleRange(-180.0, 180.0). Very simple plot but it keeps returning to a default of 1 on my MajorDelta for the x-axis and then showing major axes at 50 degree intervals. I’ve tried a variety of solutions but nothing seems to work properly.
Thanks,
Christina

Hi!
I have the following xaml code for HorizontalLineAnnotations. I have a viewmodel with simple properties for WasteMaxValue etc.
I don’t get any binding errors. Sometimes everything works as expected when I start up. Sometimes the lines show up but they wont follow when I resize the view (and the graph). Sometimes the lines don’t show up at all.
If I do a very fast “pan” with the mouse so that the graph data moves outside the graph, the lines show up and they follow when I resize the view and the graph. Have you experienced this before? Is it an obvious error?

            <s:SciChartSurface.Annotations>
                <s:HorizontalLineAnnotation HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" 
                    Y1="{Binding WasteMaxValue}" Stroke="Red" StrokeThickness="2">
                </s:HorizontalLineAnnotation>
                <s:HorizontalLineAnnotation HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" 
                    Y1="{Binding WasteMinValue}" Stroke="Red" StrokeThickness="2">
                </s:HorizontalLineAnnotation>
                <s:HorizontalLineAnnotation HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" 
                    Y1="{Binding WarningMaxValue}" Stroke="Yellow" StrokeThickness="2">
                </s:HorizontalLineAnnotation>
                <s:HorizontalLineAnnotation HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" 
                    Y1="{Binding WarningMinValue}" Stroke="Yellow" StrokeThickness="2">
                </s:HorizontalLineAnnotation>
                <s:HorizontalLineAnnotation HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" 
                    Y1="{Binding SetValue}" Stroke="Green" StrokeThickness="2">
                </s:HorizontalLineAnnotation>
        </s:SciChartSurface.Annotations>

I’m trying to figure out the best approach to this. Basically I have line series which is defining a limit, may only have points at X=0 & max rather than individual points. My 2nd value I want to fill with one color when it’s below that limit and if it goes above the limit then only the portion above that limit should be colored differently (blue in example).

Anybody able to set me on the right track for this? I can think of ways to do it if I break the 2nd value up and display as two series (would basically be a stacked mountain then. and just limit one to not go above the limit value. Is there a way to avoid breaking this up to separate series and just style it?

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.
