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?

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.

Is there a way to draw an svg formatted annotation onto a chart for WPF?

I have found references/examples for it in javascript here . . .

https://www.scichart.com/documentation/js/current/Tutorial%2006%20-%20Adding%20Annotations.html

but not for any other platform.

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.

Hello,

I have a SciChartSurface with multiple StackedColumnRenderableSeries. The goal is to create a column style “Stacked Graph”.

The StackedColumnRenderableSeries are created this way:

private StackedColumnRenderableSeries[] m_layers = new StackedColumnRenderableSeries[0];
  -------
    while (num  > m_layers.Length)
              {                
                  StackedColumnRenderableSeries layer = new StackedColumnRenderableSeries()
                  {
                      DataPointWidth = 0.9,                  
                      Fill = new SolidColorBrush(DefaultMainColorOfCurrentSetting),
                      Stroke = Colors.Black,
                      ShowLabel = false  
                  };
  
                      layer.DataSeries = new XyDataSeries<double, double>();
                      layer.DataSeries.AcceptsUnsortedData = true;
  
                  m_sciChartSurface.RenderableSeries.Add(layer);
                 
                  List<StackedColumnRenderableSeries> temp = m_layers.ToList();
                  temp.Add(layer);
                  m_layers = temp.ToArray();
                 
              }
  

Later, they are fed data with this function:

void addBar(double[] layerValues)
          {
  
              using (m_sciChartSurface.SuspendUpdates())
              {   
                  for (int i = 0; i < m_layers.Length; i++)
                  {
                      XyDataSeries<double, double> data = (XyDataSeries<double, double>)m_layers[i].DataSeries;   
                      data.Append(m_currentTimepoint, layerValues[i]);
                  }
              }
  
              m_currentTimepoint++;
          }
  
  private int m_currentTimepoint = 1;
  

If I use this function within the class constructor, everything works as expected (see attached image).

However, sometimes, I receive the error message “”System.ArgumentException” in SciChart.Charting.dll The StackedColumnRenderableSeries type requires that all stacked stacked series with the same StackedGroupId have the same XValues.”

I fail to see the meaning of this message, since, the x-Value is the same for each part of the new column. Its “m_currentTimepoint”.

Additional Information:

This visualization is part of a medical monitoring software we are currently developing. If we use test data to call the addBar-Function (directly from the constructor, for example), the error does not appear. However, if we use data from our medical sensors, it appears. In both cases, the addBar-Function receives valid data (no NaN´s or such things)

The function is not called often, about once every 10 seconds.

Thank you

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?

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,

Hello,

I’m trying to display a vertical line annotation on a chart using MVVM.

In order to make it work I’ve (All the INotifyPropertyChanged are managed via the BaseViewModel)

public class GraphSurfaceBaseViewModel : BaseViewModel
{
    /// <summary>
    /// A list of annotations
    /// </summary>
    public ObservableCollection<IAnnotationViewModel> Annotations { get; private set; }

 ...
}

I create annotation that way

Graph.Annotations.Add(new VerticalLineAnnotationViewModel()
            {
                X1 = TimeOfComment,
                ShowLabel = true,
                StrokeThickness = 2,
                XAxisId = "Xaxis",
                YAxisId = "Yaxis1",
                AnnotationLabels = new ObservableCollection<AnnotationLabel>() { new AnnotationLabel() {Text = "mon test", LabelPlacement = LabelPlacement.TopRight } }

            });

And the binding to the scichartsurface is :

<s:SciChartSurface   
...         
Annotations="{s:AnnotationsBinding Annotations}"            
</s:SciChartSurface>

I’ve double check that my x axis and y axis have the same ID as the annotation.
The problem is I want to display several annotation labels but they are not appearing. I suspect a problem via the AnnotationsBinding which is not taking the AnnotationLabels from the VerticalLineAnnotationViewModel.

What I got :

What I want (paint skill here):

For the what I want, I can draw a simple vertical bar by settings showLabel = false but I suppose that all the label I previously added to the
AnnotationLabels will not be shown, that’s why I let it.

Thank you for any help.

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.

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:

Hi i am new to SCiChart and i was wondering if there is an option to double click on screen and make it full screen or maybe some sort of un-dock it or open it in new window full screen?
Thx

I’m adding an annotation to a chart with a DateTime x-axis. Without a label the annotation is successfully added. However, if I specify a label I get an InvalidOperationException when Add() is called. The exception message is “The Type this is a test is not a valid Comparable Type”}:

                var annotation = new VerticalLineAnnotation
                {
                    VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Stretch,
                    ShowLabel = true,
                    X1 = time.DateTime,
                    Stroke = System.Windows.Media.Brushes.Orange,
                    LabelPlacement = LabelPlacement.TopRight,
                    LabelValue = "this is a test",
                    LabelsOrientation = Orientation.Vertical
                };

                MyChart.Annotations.Add(annotation);

The LabelValue is obviously of type string and non-null and indeed of type IComparable. Any reason I can’t add 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?

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>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="scichart:BoxAnnotation">
                    <Border x:Name="PART_BoxAnnotationRoot"
              Margin="{TemplateBinding Margin}"
              Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
              BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
              BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
              CornerRadius="{TemplateBinding CornerRadius}" />
                </ControlTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
</Style>
<scichart:SciChartSurface x:Name="GraphSurface"
                 Annotations="{scichart:AnnotationsBinding ItsAnnotations}">

                <scichart:SciChartSurface.XAxis>
                    <scichart:DateTimeAxis x:Name="GraphXAxis"

                </scichart:SciChartSurface.XAxis>

                <scichart:SciChartSurface.YAxes>
                    <scichart:NumericAxis x:Name="GraphYAxis"
                                          VisibleRange="0, 10" />

Hello SciChart-Team,
we had the requirement to show the zero line when there are negative values ​​in the chart.
We noticed the following things, especially in connection with the main grid lines.
There are some side effects at certain sizes of the window:
When the gridlines are on(see screenshot 1):
1. Grid line and tick are not on the same level (Only for certain sizes)
2. The grid line and horizontal annotation line (green) are not aligned either (Only at certain sizes)
3. The axis line (defined via BorderThickness) is also not aligned with the grid line (regardless of the size of the control).And the bottom tick is never aligned with the major grid line

If the major grid lines are switched off, the zero annotation line is not aligned to the ticks for certain sizes of the control (see screenshot 2)

It looks like different algorithms were used to calculate the line position of the ticks, grid lines and line annotations.

The problem was detected on the monitor with 100% scaling. On a 4K monitor with scaling > 100%, the problem became even more apparent

Do you have any suggestion how to solve the problem?

I’ve attached a modified example project in which the behavior can be reproduced.

On a small PC with only Intel HD Graphics 4600 the DirectX rendering is not supported by SciChart. Thats fine but it should use the fallback render surface.

<s:SciChartSurface 
  RenderPriority ="Low"
  s:VisualXcceleratorEngine.IsEnabled="True"
  s:VisualXcceleratorEngine.FallbackType="{x:Type s:HighQualityRenderSurface}"
  s:VisualXcceleratorEngine.DowngradeWithoutException="True"
  s:VisualXcceleratorEngine.EnableImpossibleMode="True"
  s:PerformanceHelper.EnableExtremeDrawingManager="True"
  s:PerformanceHelper.EnableExtremeResamplers="True"

I got this exception:

    System.Exception: Your GPU is blacklisted for use by the Visual Xccelerator Engine! There are several reasons why a GPU could belong to the blacklist. For example, low computation capabilities of the GPU could cause Timeout Detection and Recovery of Graphics Adapter Drivers by the OS, resulting in crashing the application.

   at System.Windows.DependencyObject.SetValue(DependencyProperty dp, Object value)

But it should use HighQualityRenderSurface without any exception.

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

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?

How do you set X1,X2 and Y1,Y2 in xaml as suggested in a previous post here on the forum?

I also get null values here when using Composite Annotations example. the suggestion to set the value DependencyProperty.SetCurrentValue(X1Property, 0.0); does not work since DependencyProperty does not expose a SetCurrentValue method (?)

I am using your example code for doing composite Annotations on my existing chart.
I am using MeasureXAnnotation and MeasureXyAnnotation and the respective Update method that is overidden.

What am I missing ?

Appreciate your help with getting this working

Thanks
Anders

The first question: Where did the example go (link below)?
https://support.scichart.com/support/solutions/articles/101000513349-tutorial-custom-legend-with-color-picker-and-custom-point-markers
I want to do like what and time ago I saved link but now this page is deleted. I need it because it is good example for resolve my 2nd question I think.

And the second question: I have chart

    <s:SciChartSurface Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" x:Name="SciChartSurface" Margin="5" Padding="5"
                       ChartTitle="{mainVM:Localization MainChartSciChartSurface}" RenderableSeries="{s:SeriesBinding RenderableSeries}" Annotations="{s:AnnotationsBinding Annotations}">
        <s:SciChartSurface.XAxis>
            <s:NumericAxis AxisTitle="{mainVM:Localization XNumericAxis}" VisibleRange="{Binding VisibleRangeXAxis, Mode=TwoWay}" />
        </s:SciChartSurface.XAxis>
        <s:SciChartSurface.YAxis>
            <s:NumericAxis GrowBy="0.1,0.1"
                           AxisTitle="{mainVM:Localization YNumericAxis}" VisibleRange="{Binding VisibleRangeYAxis, Mode=TwoWay}" AutoRange="{Binding IsStaticYAxis, Converter={StaticResource StaticAxisToSciChartAutoRangeConverter}}" />
        </s:SciChartSurface.YAxis>
        <s:SciChartSurface.ChartModifier>
            <s:ModifierGroup>
                <s:SeriesValueModifier />
                <s:CursorModifier IsEnabled="{Binding IsShowValuesCursor}" />
                <s:LegendModifier x:Name="SciChartLegendModifier" GetLegendDataFor="AllSeries" ShowLegend="False"
                                  SeriesData="{Binding SeriesData, Mode=TwoWay}" />
            </s:ModifierGroup>
        </s:SciChartSurface.ChartModifier>
    </s:SciChartSurface>

Legend of chart placed in another panel

    <s:SciChartLegend x:Name="SciChartLegendControl" s:ThemeManager.Theme="Chrome" Margin="5,5" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
                      LegendData="{Binding SeriesData, Mode=OneWay}" ShowVisibilityCheckboxes="True" />

SeriesData is

private ChartDataObject _seriesData;
public ChartDataObject SeriesData
{
    get => _seriesData;
    set => SetProperty(ref _seriesData, value, nameof(SeriesData));
}

I want to see chart values in additional fields near the chart. I made this

<Grid>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <ListView Grid.Column="0" x:Name="ChartsListView" BorderBrush="Transparent" ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ListViewItemContainerDefaultStyle}"
              ItemsSource="{Binding SeriesData.SeriesInfo}">
        <ListView.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Grid>
                    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
                    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <Label Grid.Column="0" Style="{StaticResource LabelDefaultStyle}"
                           Content="{Binding SeriesName}" Visibility="{Binding IsVisible, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}" />
                    <Label Grid.Column="1" Style="{StaticResource LabelIndicatorStyle}"
                           Content="{Binding YValue}" />
                </Grid>
            </DataTemplate>
        </ListView.ItemTemplate>
    </ListView>
</Grid>

All working correctly. But I want to bind Legend visibility checkboxes to my custom controls for values: when I uncheck chart checkbox control bound to this chart must becomes invisible. In code above I write

Visibility="{Binding IsVisible, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}"

but it not worked. How can I make it like I want?

And 3rd question: how can I guarantee the order of SeriesData lines? I have to be sure that charts in legend and custom controls ordered in the same ordering

When the GrowBy property on NumericAxis3D is specified, a tooltip modifier on the same 3D chart shows over data points that are not those under the mouse pointer.

To replicate the issue:

1. Clone the examples project from GitHub and open the SciChart2D3D.Examples solution.

2. In UniformColumn3D.xaml change the XAxis, YAxis, ZAxis and ChartModifier elements to the following, from line 101 onwards:

   <s3D:SciChart3DSurface.XAxis>
       <s3D:NumericAxis3D AutoRange="Always"  />
   </s3D:SciChart3DSurface.XAxis>
   
   <s3D:SciChart3DSurface.YAxis>
       <s3D:NumericAxis3D AutoRange="Always" />
   </s3D:SciChart3DSurface.YAxis>
   
   <s3D:SciChart3DSurface.ZAxis>
       <s3D:NumericAxis3D AutoRange="Always" />
   </s3D:SciChart3DSurface.ZAxis>
   
   <s3D:SciChart3DSurface.ChartModifier>
       <s3D:TooltipModifier3D HoverDelay="150" CrosshairMode="Lines" ShowTooltipOn="MouseOver" />
   </s3D:SciChart3DSurface.ChartModifier>
   

3. Run the application and observe that the 3D Charts -> Basic Chart Types -> Uniform Column 3D chart shows a chart with correct tooltips appearing when the mouse is hovered over columns on the chart.

4. Add GrowBy=”0.1, 0.1″ to each axis property as follows:

   <s3D:SciChart3DSurface.XAxis>
       <s3D:NumericAxis3D AutoRange="Always" GrowBy="0.1,0.1"  />
   </s3D:SciChart3DSurface.XAxis>
   
   <s3D:SciChart3DSurface.YAxis>
       <s3D:NumericAxis3D AutoRange="Always" GrowBy="0.1,0.1" />
   </s3D:SciChart3DSurface.YAxis>
   
   <s3D:SciChart3DSurface.ZAxis>
       <s3D:NumericAxis3D AutoRange="Always"  GrowBy="0.1,0.1"/>
   </s3D:SciChart3DSurface.ZAxis>
   

5. Run the application again and hover the mouse over the same chart. Note that the tooltop is now shown for a data point different to whichever one the mouse is over at the time, which is incorrect.

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!

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

Hi:

My name is Harold Ramírez and I have a question I would like you to answer because I don’t find any doucmentation about it online.

I have a WPF application with several charts, some of them in 3D. These 3D charts have the X axis in horizontal, Y in vertical and the Z in depth. I want only to keep the labels on the X and Y axis, on the left and bottom of the chart.

The only documentation I have found is this page: https://www.scichart.com/documentation/v5.x/webframe.html#Showing%20Axis%20Labels%20on%20one%20side%20of%20the%203D%20Chart.html, and only shows how to make it in XAML, but I need it to do it programatically in C#.

Thank you for your time.

Harold.

I have a chart that has a DateTime XAxis and a NumericYAxis. I want to do something such as FastLineRenderableSeries.GetYValueAt(datetime) yet i can’t find a suitable extension method for such thing. Seems like a fairly simple thing but the documentation does not cover it.
