Is there any documentation besides the tutorials? Something like the one found on MSDN, with all the Properties of the SciChart elements that can be styled.

Hi!

I want SciChart to display always the first and last value of an axis. I created a chart wich shows volume on the y-axis and time in seconds on the y-axis. The axis are initialized in the view model with fixed axis dimensions like this:

this.TimeAxis = new NumericAxis();
this.TimeAxis.VisibleRange.SetMinMax(0, 60);
this.TimeAxis.AxisTitle = "Time [s]";
((AxisBase)this.TimeAxis).Style =        (Style)Application.Current.FindResource("DefaultSciChartAxisStyle");

this.VolumeAxis = new NumericAxis();
this.VolumeAxis.VisibleRange.SetMinMax(0, 8);
this.VolumeAxis.AxisTitle = "Volume [l]";
this.VolumeAxis.AxisAlignment = AxisAlignment.Left;
((AxisBase)this.VolumeAxis).Style = (Style)Application.Current.FindResource("DefaultSciChartAxisStyle");

How is it possible to display the first and last value of the axis as shown with red numbers in the attached example.png which are not shown by default?

Best regards,

hello

I have problems with RolloverModifier while dataseries are UnsortedXyDataSeries. If I change to (sorted)XyDataSeries everything OK. I didn’t find any information in documentation that this modifier has such restriction.
Second question about sorted series: does Append(x,y) of XyDataSeries require to be last point of x range or it can append to any place of existing range?

Hi,

I am trying to create a chart with additional information, similarly as discussed in this question:
https://www.scichart.com/questions/question/correlating-metadata-with-datapoints/
It works fine for simple information, such as enums, that I can cast into a double (see also the example provided in the question mentioned above).

However it seems that there is a restriction on the generic class XyzDataSeries.
Whenever I try to use a different data types for TY and TZ

XyzDataSeries<DateTime, double, int>

I get the following exception at runtime:

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

Message: Das Objekt des Typs "Abt.Controls.SciChart.Wpf.StoreEditor1[System.Int32]" kann nicht in Typ "System.Collections.Generic.IList1[System.Double]" umgewandelt werden.

   bei Abt.Controls.SciChart.Wpf.MethodManager.RenderLoop(IRenderContext2D renderContext)
   bei Abt.Controls.SciChart.Visuals.SciChartSurface.DoDrawingLoop()

Sorry for the german. The message translates to:

The object of type [...] cannot be casted into type [...]

I’m quite confused about this. It works nicely, if I use the same data types for TY and TZ .

XyzDataSeries<DateTime, double, double>
XyzDataSeries<DateTime, int, int>

This is not what I would expect from a generic type with three types.
If the types for Y and Z values need to be of the same type, the class should rather look something like this: XyzDataSeries<TX, TYZ>.
The API documentation does not mention anything about this. It only states that the types need to be IComparables, which seems not the full truth.

This is a problem for me, because I have more complex metadata than a double, which I want to reference over the Z value.
But I don’t want to use an index of type double. I’d rather use a GUID or even add the metadata object itself as Z value.

Is this by design or is this something that could be fixed in the future?

Do you have a suggestion how to best reference point related metadata (without having to implement my own DataSeries)?

Hi I’m just wondering if there is anyway to force Y values to show up on the chart for all data points like a Histogram. I’ve attached screenshots to show what I would like the final screen to look like (ChartTest) so you have an idea. Hoping there is a way to force rollover to always show, or maybe have axis markers on the bottom that can display the y value at each x point. Hopefully you understand what I’m trying to achieve. Thanks.

Hello, SciChart team,
i’m trying to ZoomExtents a chart, which is in in one tab of TabControl, from another tab, but it doesn’t change visible ranges.

i wanted to attach an example project, but every time i try i get “Forbidden” popup & nothing attaches (file size is 900 KB, format – “.zip”)
here’s link for an Example
please help with this not so large but unpleasant issue,
thanks heaps,
Alexander

Hi!

I would like to add a margin to the x-axis number so that they don’t stick on the axis anymore. See attached screenshot for detailed explanation.

Is that possible?

Hi,
I have some XyDataSeries<DateTime, double> showing some data on my chart. Also I have 2 vertical line annotations (red and blue) where I know the two DateTime values.

Is there a effective way to get the double values between this range of each XyDataSeries.

Regarrds Markus

Hi
I not really understand how i could display the X and Y value separated in a rolloverLabel?
In the example is always on value like Y.
Can you help me?

Thanks

Hi

This is a little snippet of my code

<s:SciChartSurface SeriesSource="{Binding ChartSeries}"
                   YAxes="{Binding YAxisCollection}"
                   XAxis="{Binding XAxis}"
                   Annotations="{Binding AnnotationCollection}"
                   s:HorizontalGroupHelper.HorizontalChartGroup="horizontalChartGroup">

I would like to be able to set throught my ViewModel the “syncWidthGroup” of the HorizontalChartGroup like this.

s:HorizontalGroupHelper.HorizontalChartGroup="{Binding ChartGroup}"

But an exception is thrown saying I can only bind to DP og DO.

    System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException occurred

So how would I go about doing this through code and not xaml, as I use ViewModel first approach and ViewModels are dynamically appended to an Items collection? (Using Caliburn.Micro)

Hi Guys

I am using an ItemsControl to display a collection of SciStockCharts. I want to be able to use a single SciChartOverview (not part of the Item Template) to set the visible range on all of the charts displayed in the ItemsControl. Is this possible and if so how would I go about achieving it.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Annotation chart sample Drag Horizontal Threshold allow us to draw custom controllable color for the data series. The same way I need to draw the chart surface background color. I couldn’t find the appropriate API to do this job. Could you advise how to draw surface background color.

Update:

Attached the graph image, I like to draw the grey and white backgrounds based on horizontal and vertical line positions.

Thanks.

Hello support team,

Im looking for a way to use keys to navigate through values in the graph. The rollover provides this easily with the mouse.
I include the rollovermodifier and the template I have. Do you have an idea how to do this? I just need to navigate left and right with the cursors. Any input or idea is extremely welcome.
Thank you very much for your great support

Marcel

Good afternoon,

In the project Im working I need to save the annotations created so I can load generate them when the graph is generated.
I have tried to serialize them but maybe because its obfuscated I get an exception I try serialization:
There was an error reflecting type ‘Abt.Controls.SciChart.LineArrowAnnotation’
inner exception: There was an error reflecting property ‘InputBindings’.
Do you have an easy solution for this?

I would like to ask if its possible to have such a feature included, a method that would return the xml of the current state of the object.
or the list of minimum properties needed for annotation base:
X1, X2, Y1, Y2, YAxisId

then each different annotation type has different properties, thats why serialization would be extremely useful in this case.

Thank you for your attention

I want to have a BoxAnnotation where Y1 (- double.Infinity) and Y2 (+ double.Infinity). Basically I wanna specify only X1 and X2. And the behaviour must ensure always the box annotations Y1 & Y2 stretch to visible area even when I resize (zoomout) the chart.

In the screen shot its not stretched.

Hi

Has anyone implemented or has any thoughts on how to implement keyboard shortcuts to zoom and pan? Something like key up/down/right/left to pan and shift+up/down/right/left to zoom?

Hi,

Now that I’m binding to a SeriesSource instead of creating my RenderableSeries in XAML, I don’t know how to apply a RolloverMarkerTemplate.

In XAML I had the following:

                        <SciChart:FastLineRenderableSeries SeriesColor="Blue">
                            <SciChart:FastLineRenderableSeries.Style>
                                <Style TargetType="{x:Type SciChart:FastLineRenderableSeries}">
                                    <Setter Property="RolloverMarkerTemplate">
                                        <Setter.Value>
                                            <ControlTemplate>
                                                <Ellipse Width="7" Height="7" Fill="SlateGray" Stroke="SlateGray" StrokeThickness="1" />
                                            </ControlTemplate>
                                        </Setter.Value>
                                    </Setter>
                                </Style>
                            </SciChart:FastLineRenderableSeries.Style>
                        </SciChart:FastLineRenderableSeries>

But now I do something like this:

    _chartSeries.Add(New ChartSeriesViewModel(rawSeries, New FastLineRenderableSeries()))
            With _chartSeries(0).RenderSeries
                .SeriesColor = Colors.Blue
            End With

I’m able to set the SeriesColor = Colors.Blue in code, but I don’t know how to generate the RolloverMarkerTemplate to control other features such as the ellipse shape.

Thanks,

Hi,
How can I get my application to do the following:

• RubberBandXyZoomModifier execute on left mouse
• ZoomPanModifier execute on left mouse + ctrl

I tried extending the ZoomPanModifier as such:

public class ZoomPanModifierEx : ZoomPanModifier
{
   public override void OnModifierMouseDown(ModifierMouseArgs e)
   {
      IsEnabled = (e.MouseButtons == MouseButtons.Left) && (e.Modifier == MouseModifier.Ctrl);
      base.OnModifierMouseDown(e);
   }
}

This did not work though.

Thanks in advance.

Trying to install SciChart.iOS NuGet package for Xamarin.iOS project results the following error:

Package SciChart.iOS 2.0.1.527 is not compatible with xamarinios10 (Xamarin.iOS,Version=v1.0). Package SciChart.iOS 2.0.1.527 supports: xamarinios (xamarin-ios,Version=v0.0)

Wondering what the heck is “xamarin-ios,Version=v0.0”? It must be xamarinios10. We’re considering to buy SciChart but right now our build server is stuck on this error. As a workaround, we raname xamarin-ios to xamarinios10 in the lib directory but this not an option for a cloud build server.

Hi guys,

I’m tackling a difficult problem in my solution here. Our chart will allow users to add as many as 50 different series at any one time.

As well as this – the user will be able to specify the RenderableSeries (Chart Type) of each of these between; column, line and mountain.

One solution is to replicate the method found in your own SciChart SciTrader demonstration (in which each type of RenderableSeries is added to the xaml once for each data series, they share a DataSeries and then the Visibility property within the style is managed to only show the one the user requests), but this would require 150 (50 placeholders for 50 possible series * 3 definitions per series) definitions of different RenderableSeries, each with their own Style defined.

Is there any way to create a custom RenderableSeries that extends BaseRenderableSeries and add a DependencyProperty that allows a binding from the xaml to modify the type of RenderableSeries that is displayed?

Even better – is there a way to add RenderableSeries using MVVM (I noticed the add/remove dynamic series tutorial has a note to standby for such a tutorial). I will attempt to find a solution by going down this path as it sounds much less verbose.

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Hi, I’m trying to just create a simple WPF MVVM application that binds to the ViewportManager and add series dynamically. The data range (X and Y) will vary and I’d like to zoom to fit after a new series is added. Seems simple, but I cannot get it to work. I’ve tried calling ZoomExtents on a bound DefaultViewportManager as well as InvalidateElement() and InvalidateParentSurface(RangeMode.ZoomToFit) and they all have no affect. I was assuming I was doing something wrong, but if you try the WPF demo/sample application it does the same thing. If you go to 2D Charts -> MVVM Examples -> Manipulate Series MVVM, there is a call to AnimateZoomExtents that doesn’t work either after you add a series. You still have to double click on the graph after clicking the plus button to make it fit the graph. I just want to zoom to fit the data and not use code behind. The functionality is clearly there because if you define <s:ZoomExtentsModifier ExecuteOn="MouseDoubleClick"/> it works perfectly, so how do I force that to happen from my view model? Thank you!

Since many of the modifiers throw an exception if there isn’t exactly 1 primary axis, is there a built-in controller to maintain that?

I ended up having to put an event on all created axes to check if IsPrimaryAxis changes to True.
If it does, then it goes through all the surfaces other axes and sets the others to False.
Without this, the modifier.XAxis get accessor function throws an exception saying either “too many items found” or “no items found” while looking for the single primary axis.

I have a small sample I can include that demonstrates this, but this seems like I’m just missing something simple…

Thanks!

Hi,
in my application I’m recording values. All parameters are shown in a GridView Control. Now I want to show the RolloverModifier Values in this GridView.
Therefore I make a binding to the SeriesData property to my ViewModel:

In my ChartModel I have the property:

    private ChartDataObject _seriesData;

        public ChartDataObject SeriesData
        {
            get { return _seriesData; }
            set
            {
                _seriesData = value; 
            }
        }

When application starts the property will be set to null. And when I load some values into the graph and move over the RolloverModifier I got an Nullreference exception stacktrace is in the txt file.

I want to add a label in column chart.

Not just X axis title, I means the title of each column bar.

I attached the image file.

In image file, I means the ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’.

How to do this?

I’m creating the series for a stacked column chart like so:

string[] categories = new string[] { "0-10", ">10-20", ">20-30", ">30-40", ">40-50", ">50-60", ">60-70" };
                    foreach (string category in categories)
                    {
                        i++;
                        Color _color = GetRandomColor(i);

                        var tempSeries = new XyDataSeries<double, double> { SeriesName = category };
                        FillDataSeries(ref tempSeries, category);

                        if (tempSeries == null) continue;

                        var tempRenderSeries = new StackedColumnRenderableSeries
                        {
                            DataSeries = tempSeries,
                            FillBrush = new SolidColorBrush(_color),
                            StackedGroupId = "currents"
                        };

                        // Add the new RenderableSeries
                        sciChart.RenderableSeries.Add(tempRenderSeries);
                    }

                    sciChart.ZoomExtents();

                    i++;                    
                }

The FillDataSeries method will populate the series from a .net DataSet object. The X axis contains numeric values that represent grouped direction categories and the Y axis contains numeric values representing the percentage of records for each category. The series are speed ranges.

However, my chart results in gaps in the columns.

I’m not sure what causes this? Do the Series need to be zero filled for categories that have no records?

Hi,

Basically, I want to draw line annotation and add over them the difference in percent between two Y points related to the axis. I tried this code:

    <s:LineArrowAnnotation Stroke="#555" StrokeThickness="2" X1="1.2" X2="2.5" XAxisId="XAxis1" Y1="3.8" Y2="6">
    <s:AnnotationLabel LabelPlacement="Top" LabelStyle="{StaticResource sideLabel}" Text="centered" />
</s:LineArrowAnnotation>

As you did in some of your examples but doesn’t seems to work with LineArrowAnnotation.

Please help me.

Thanks!

I tried to apply offset on the data in a live updating multiple lines chart. But it doesn’t work for me. Below are my codes for adding trace and updating data:

Add a trace to the chart without data in the beginning:

const xyDataSeries = new XyDataSeries(wasmContext);
const offsetFilter = new XyScaleOffsetFilter(xyDataSeries, { scale: 1, offset: 50 });   
let trace1 = new FastLineRenderableSeries(wasmContext, {
    type: ESeriesType.LineSeries, 
id: 1,
stroke: #333,
strokeThickness: 1,
dataIsSortedInX: true, 
dataEvenlySpacedInX: true, 
containsNaN: false,
dataSeries: offsetFilter,
});
sciChartSurface.renderableSeries.add(trace1);

Update chart data later:

sciChartSurface.renderableSeries.items.forEach(serie => {
    serie.dataSeries.clear();
serie.dataSeries.appendRange(dataX, dataY);
});

I can’t see the offset 50 applied on the chart data. Not sure what’s wrong with my codes.

Hi,

I’ve faced a strange issue, chart display normally in prevew window under anycpu configuration, once changed the configuration to x64, tha chart not display with no error message. I’ve tied on two computers, erase system harddisk, reinstall window, only install vs2019 and scichart wpf7, and the issue is same. Other wpf controls work normally only scichart has this issue. The program is running normally, only in preview has this issue.

And it’s OK in VS 2022, same project open in VS 2022, x64 configuration preview display normally.
Any solution? Thanks.
