I want to create a chart like the attached image file.
I want to mark points with different colors depending on the number of data corresponding to the x and y axes.
As a result of searching, there is a HeatmapColorPalette. Is it good to use this?
If there is a more suitable chart, please introduce it.
thank you

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,

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??

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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

Hi Team,

I added the PinchZoomModifier to my chart. However, when we do the gesture it does not zoom, instead, it pans the y-axis.

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:

Hi!

I have a chart that display time-series data and sometimes I have a few minutes of data, other times I have hours. All of the data points are taken every minutes. The X-Axis starts at 0 minutes and progresses from there.

My goal is to have the Axis Title say “Minutes” if there are < 120 points of data. If there are > 120 points of data then I want the Axis to be titled “Hours” and then divide the X-Axis label by 60.

I’ve started with this: https://www.scichart.com/documentation/v5.x/webframe.html#Axis%20Labels%20-%20LabelProvider%20API.html

and it’s doing about what I expect. I check the AxisCore’s Range and if the range is > 120 I set the AxisCore.AxisTitle to “Hours”, otherwise “Minutes”. So far so good.

The problem is that doing it this way means I have labels such as “48.333333” for the hours.

If, on the other hand, when I create the XYSeries that I’m plotting I pass in the already-divided-by-60 values, SciChart seems to select whole numbers so instead of showing me something like “48.333333” it would either show me “48” or it would use 50 or another whole number for the tick marks.

So my question: Is this doable by just writing a custom LabelProvider? Do I need to write a custom Axis class instead? Or somehow tell the Axis that’s in-use to recalibrate itself by dividing all of the elements by 60 before computing tick marks?

In the images I’m attaching, one plot shows me plotting a series where when I create series the x-value is being divided by 60 before I call .Append() on the series. The other one shows what happens when I use my custom LabelProvider and divide by 60 when the Axis label is drawn.

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.

After installing the SciChart Licensing Wizard (for current user only), the Wizard hangs and does not display anything, which means I cannot activate the my license.

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?

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.

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,

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!
Hannah

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.

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.

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:

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.

PS. I’m trying to attach a screenshot but it keeps saying “Forbidden”.

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

Hello guys !
I am looking at the Composite Annotation example provided with the SDK that I downloaded a few days back.

I am somewhat confused on what assemblies I will need . The assemblies list you use is extensive and it is unclear to me what assemblies I need to include to apply this to my plot implementation.

The namespace
SciChart.Examples.Examples.AnnotateAChart.CompositeAnnotations is what I am looking at and what in that list of assemblies will I need to include to successfully implement Composite Annotation in our application ?

I work with a few models and views. Two of them, the ChartView and the PlotView respectively handles the charting surface , then the surrounding toggle buttons and such belongs to the PlotView.

What would be your recommendation how to begin implement this ?

Appreciate the support
Thank you

Cheers
Anders

Hello SciChart Team,
I have multiple charts in my application where all the charts are in the same MdofierGroup to show the RolloverModifier tooltip at the same time. As I want to show custom tooltip text, I have created a custom TooltipTemplate and TooltipContainerStyle. But now when the tooltip is shown on the left side the tooltip text is a long way from the marker. I want to align the tooltip text based on the tooltip position. When the tooltip is on the right side the text will be aligned left and when the tooltip is on left side the text will be aligned right.

I have attached some code snippets of my implementations, can you suggest me any way to achieve this?

<Style x:Key="_tooltipContainer" TargetType="scichart:TooltipControl">
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="scichart:TooltipControl">
                    <ContentPresenter Content="{TemplateBinding DataContext}"
                                          ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}" />
                </ControlTemplate>

                                    <scichart:SciChartSurface.ChartModifier>
                                        <scichart:ModifierGroup DataContext="{Binding Path=DataContext, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ItemsControl}}}" 
                                                            scichart:MouseManager.MouseEventGroup="MouseEventGroup" >
                                            <scichart:RolloverModifier ShowTooltipOn="MouseHover" DrawVerticalLine="False" />
                                        </scichart:ModifierGroup>
                                    </scichart:SciChartSurface.ChartModifier>
.
.
.
</scichart:SciChartSurface>

In ViewModel:

ItsRenderableTimeGraphSeries = new ObservableCollection<IRenderableSeriesViewModel>
        {
            new MountainRenderableSeriesViewModel()
            {
                IsDigitalLine = false,
                StyleKey = "_lineSeriesStyle",
            }
        };

I have a chart with multiple series, and I would like to have the RolloverModifier behavior for all selected series, but with a single tooltip combining the values for all selected series rather than a separate tooltip per series (similar to the CursorModifier)

Is there a way to do one of the following?

1. Merge the tooltips from the RolloverModifier?
   OR
2. Only show the vertical crosshair from the CursorModifier, and snap the crosshair to the closest point in the series?

The RolloverModifier is closer to the behavior I want, the only change I would want is the merged tooltip.

I am having an issue with my Composite Annotation implementation.
I am using the example provided in the MeasureXyAnnotation.xaml that I found here.
My exception that is thrown (see exception attachment provided) complains about a missing Axis value.

In the public override void Update(ICoordinateCalculator xCoordCalc, ICoordinateCalculator yCoordCalc)
the yCoordCalc comes in with a null value. The xCoordCalc is populated and looks valid.

See attachment of my plotting area and well as the chart area. The composite annotation shows up alright, but as soon as I try to drag it the exception is immediately thrown.

I have no idea at this point why. I have tried to implement the annotation according to your example but obviously I am missing something.
Support getting this to work would be immensely appreciated.

Thank you
Anders
