I’m a C# developer looking to evaluate working with SciChartJS for a possible future project.

I’ve created a .NET Blazor Project working with JavaScript Interop and I would like to extend the CustomChartModifier2D in TypeScript.

I’ve not used npm to install SciChart into the project, rather I’m using the CDN approach in my _Host.cshtml file.

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/index.min.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

I’ve been searching online for a SciChartJS TypeScript definition file so that I can leverage TS Strongly Typed system in my test project.

Is there one? Or do I need to build my own, or even is there an already made example of extending SciChart with TypeScript somewhere I’ve missed?

Thank you

Hi –

I could not find an example in the various examples your provide

I have several charts in different components

When a component is closed I want to ensure the chart is destroyed and there is not potential for memory leak

What is this best way of doing this?

Thanks

Hello,

I found an issue with very high memory usage by the application. after some tests I found the problem and moved it to a separate example(https://codepen.io/PodaRocheK/pen/PoVmzvP?editors=0011). Please check this code and observe the memory usage on this page. With prolonged use (after 10 minutes), it is clear that more and more memory is used. After hours, the memory used may already be more than several gigabytes. Tell me what the problem is, maybe I’m doing something wrong. Maybe I’m somehow storing old data incorrectly or adding it incorrectly.

This example is not a working example, it has been sped up in order to quickly identify the problem. In our example, an unnecessary data update will occur once every few seconds and after a night of inactivity, the entire page will die. Please tell me what the problem is.

Thank you!

Hi Folks,

Wanted to ensure I’m working in the right direction here. Requirement is to add inline series labels on the plot surface. It’s an awkward requirement at times, but it keeps coming up with because other providers do this sometimes.

I’ve been playing with the examples of using data labels ( https://github.com/ABTSoftware/SciChart.JS.Examples/blob/master/Examples/src/components/Examples/Charts2D/TooltipsAndHittest/UsingVerticalSliceModifier/index.tsx ).

This might work. It’s a little strange since I only need to show at most one label per series. So I use the data label provider I assume and have to manually space them along the index range.

The only alternative I’m aware of is the annotations api, which of course is quite robust and probably a little too fancy for this case.

Appreciate any thoughts on the approach here — thanks!

EDIT: Attached very contrived example. The idea is to supply a label to name the series inline (apparently a legend is not sufficient), but in a way that is reasonably useful visually (similar to the spacing capabilities in the data labels api). The text would be some piece of metadata that is derived from the series (or at least has a 1:1 relationship with the series).

Hello,

i’m trying to build a chart using a Stripe Data series, on the X axis i have a DatetimeAxis while on Y axis i have a Numeric.

I have an observable collection of IRenderableSeriesViewModel, and when i try to add a StripeRenderableSeriesViewModel if the dataseries contains many elements (>2000) it logs this exception below:

Exception thrown: ‘System.InvalidCastException’ in System.Private.CoreLib.dll
SciChartSurface didn’t render, because an exception was thrown:

Binding and data i’m pretty sure are ok since with fewer data it works fine

EDIT: i was able to reproduce the issue in the wpf sample project (repo), just replace GanttChartViewModel.cs with the sample one i have attached here and it can be reproduced by navigating to the Gantt chart example

When I’m using a BoxAnnotation, and it is selected, I can see that the borders are shown expanding past the chart area, on top of the axes.
Ideally they would have the same behaviour as the normal stroke, and keep constrained to the chart area.

Codepen showing the issue: https://codepen.io/jrfv/full/bGzqvoE

Am I missing some configuration to make this work?

Thanks!

Hi,

I am facing another issue with dataLabels in latest version of Scichart. I saw another question with similar is already posted and the fix is released.

Can you check this code.

I tried to reproduce the issue with the vue js example code, codesandbox. But the issues is behaving differently in example code, codesandbox, and my existing project.

codesandbox: https://codesandbox.io/s/scichart-error-6xc6jw?file=/src/index.ts
codesandbox:- Text in the bottom area are displayed and top area no labes are displayed.

I am attaching the vue js file also. Please check the file also, On the example no labels are displayed.

I am attaching the video of my project also, Here the labels are invisible sometimes, sometimes the labels are showing not properly. Video Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vZ0lO5xdmN9VfFGXMaoTPfTgqRytrEAl/view?usp=sharing

I am using SciChartSurface.create() to create chart and it works well. However, I got the webGL memory issue randomly – WebGL memory issue. I am trying to apply a workaround to use SciChartSurface.createSinge() instead. The createSingle() function doesn’t work for me, the chart cannot be rendered.

const { sciChartSurface, wasmContext } = await SciChartSurface.createSinlge(`${chartId}-chart-root`, { theme: themeObj });

There is no error showing in the developer tool console. I have no idea what’s wrong.

Hello everyone,

I have 2 HorizontalLineAnnotations on the chart as price indicators. Sometimes i need to add to some label more data on the second line of the text. You can see example of correct annotation’s label. How can i add ‘\n’ or ‘
‘ to the text for such result?

Thank you a lot!

Hello everyone. A similar question has already been asked just below the forum, but there is no answer. I have dynamically added diagrams. However, I am interested in the possibility of adding buttons for closing and collapsing diagrams directly to the chart panel. I need the option to close any selected chart. How can this be implemented and written? Thank you.

Dear SciChart team,

I’ve been using SciChart WPF 2D professional for many years now, but this week I’m having a strange problem on one of my colleague’s new laptop (Lenovo X13). The charts seem frozen.

To check if it’s a problem with my application or something else, I installed SciChart on the laptop and launched the SciChart WPF v7 example (.net framework). Then I found all the charts do not render properly.

I have searched the questions on the forum, and I found this https://www.scichart.com/questions/wpf/zoom-not-working-properly-on-one-single-computer, it seems there was someone had the same issue, but it was posted 10 years ago, so I am not sure does the intel graphics hardware still has this problem now days.

I am asking my colleague to upgrade the graphic adapter’s driver, but if you have any other idea to fix this issue, please also let me know.

Best Regards
Chris

Can I implement a feature in SciChart that allows me to pause and resume rendering activity on a SciChart renderable surface when a user clicks on the SciChart renderable surface?

I’m looking on https://demo.scichart.com/javascript-multi-pane-stock-charts-sync-technique
I have a q react application. Can I add/remove subcharts(indicator panes) dynamically?

I’m using an example of RealtimeTickingStockCharts

https://github.com/ABTSoftware/SciChart.JS.Examples/tree/master/Examples/src/components/Examples/Charts2D/CreateStockCharts/RealtimeTickingStockCharts

I’ve added a modifier

new YAxisDragModifier({
            dragMode: EDragMode.Scaling,
        }),

I see icon changed to arrows but scaling does not work. What should I check ?

Hi everyone,

I am using SciChart trial in Angular and I find it so powerful
Thanks for developing this
However, I am having some troubles using it with plotting realtime stock data

From having searched around I found that it is recommended to use CategoryAxis for stock charts to avoid gaps on days without data
However, how do I append/update the data with new data coming in
XYDataSeries.append takes a number for the x-value

In the code below, assume “addNewData” is called every second
How do I properly add the new data with the new DateTime and also format it however i would like

Thanks for your help

  sciChartSurface.xAxes.add(new CategoryAxis(wasmContext));
  sciChartSurface.yAxes.add(new NumericAxis(wasmContext,{
    axisAlignment: EAxisAlignment.Left,
  }));

  addNewData(){
    const x = new Number(new Date()).toString()
    if(this.sciChartSurface){
      const series = this.sciChartSurface.renderableSeries.get(0);
      const dataSeries = <XyDataSeries> series.dataSeries;
      const x = dataSeries.count();
      const y = Math.random()
      dataSeries.append(x, y)
      this.sciChartSurface.zoomExtents()
    }
  }

Hello,

Can you show this example(https://codepen.io/PodaRocheK/pen/yLGxGEL?editors=0011) and tell me, why metadata labels are not displayed in some cases? May be you can tell me how to do it correctly? A have similar chart with a lot of datapoints and can’t understand why labels show only in some time(20s or > 1m after start the chart)

Thank you!

Hi,

I want to change the grid distance between the two slices dynamically in both X , Y and Z direction. But whatever the value I set for StepZ and StepX, nothing changes in the output. I still see the same graph.

Please can you suggest if there is any way to achieve this.

I am attaching the code of waterfall example here.

Hi,

I’m experiencing a glitch using polar charts with small values.
In the attached example, I tried to create an arc starting at 0.0004, the problem is that up to a certain level of zoom, it works fine, then it start creating corrupted shapes. You can see all stages of the glitch in the picture.

Is this related to small values? I really have to work with small numbers, any workaround?
My client is using an older version, but I tried with mine, 7.0 and I get the same problem.

Thanks

Imagine I have a chart with a RolloverModifier, such that I see the point marker, and also a CursorModifier so I see the axis labels with the exact value I’m hovering.
This chart has the axis title hidden, and also the labels hidden, so I can really only see them trough the CursorModifier axis labels.
Since the axis title and labels are hidden, the axis labels spawn inside the chart, and the point marker from the RolloverModifier may be drawn on top of the labels.

I’d like to properly control drawing order here, so my axis labels get prioritised.
Is there a way to do so?

Hi,

I am using the scichart for WPF an came across a problem. I am trying to create a thumbnail image of a size 300×200 pixels of my chart. I have tried using the ExportToStream method with option of specifying the size output, but that creates a smaller resolution image of my chart. I was hoping that it will resize the chart to the desired size and then make an image.
So I tried a second option which was to put the chart in a user control of a certain size and then use the RenderTargetBitmap to render the user control in an image. That resulted in a partial chart without the chart lines. Take a look at the attached?

Any ideas how to make the chart to be rendered in memory in full for a certain size?

Kind regards,
Boštjan

Hi, I’m interested in putting WPF controls like buttons, data grids, sliders, etc. inside the chart.
Is that possible?

When I put localized text in my annotations, and the user selects a different language while the chart is showing, do I have to rebuild my annotations?
I had hoped that I could register ‘globalized’ texts in my annotation object, and localize them in the getter method, but it seems that the getter method is not called every time the annotation text is displayed in a ToolTip

Hello,

I need to customize the text for some points on a XyScatterRenderableSeries graph. The problem is that the dataLabelProvider available for XyScatterRenderableSeries is BaseDataLabelProvider, but it doesn’t have a metaDataSelector method and I can’t do it with it. Interestingly, using LineSeriesDataLabelProvider I was able to add text for the points I needed using metadata, but another problem arose. In this case, if there is only one point on the graph, the text will not be drawn.

Here is a small example of how text is drawn for different numbers of points. https://codepen.io/PodaRocheK/pen/jOXYGMJ?editors=0011

Can you advise me on how to display text near points more correctly in the case when I use XyScatterRenderableSeries and often this text should disappear or appear near some points. Thanks a lot!

If I plot a SciChart3DSurface using UniformGridDataSeries3D to plot a SolidMesh – what is the maximum number if data points I can plot?

If I plot 16385 on x and 32 on z I get the debug message:

SciChart3DSurface didn’t render, because an exception was thrown:
Message: Grid mesh size exceeds hardware texture size

Is 16K the limit?

I came across this
https://abtsoftware.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/SC3D-326
which seems to indicate maybe larger might be possible?

and I found on this page:
https://www.scichart.com/requirements-for-3d-surface-mesh-charts/#!

The current limit for the size of the 3D Surface Mesh chart is limited by the maximum texture size on your GPU, which in most cases is 40964096 and on some GPUs is larger, up to 16k * 16k.*

Is it possible at runtime to find out what the limit is (if it depends on the users hardware) so I can adapt the data if running on a lower capability platform rather than throwing an exception or displaying a blank graph?

Thanks
