Hello,
I am currently using the HighQualityRenderSurface (as seen here: https://support.scichart.com/index.php?/News/NewsItem/View/30) to replace some dynamically drawn maps in an application. I’m wondering if there is a way to make a blended/ gradient brush that can be drawn onto this surface. The application currently uses a three color blended brush drawn onto a WPF canvas.
Edit: Added images as an example of what we are trying to achieve.

Got an image or screenshot of what you are trying to achieve? It’s hard to visualise from the description
Added example images. Thanks!

Thanks Cameron! The image helps, without it I find myself having to imagine from text 🙂
OK so I’ve seen charts like this before, and we created one for an Oil & Gas customer as a piece of consultancy work a few years ago. We don’t have a blending gradient filled line chart in SciChart out of the box. However, you can achieve a similar effect with the PaletteProvider feature.
I would suggest using VisualXccelerator engine, as it’s considerably faster for these types of charts, and switch colour of a thick line series using the PaletteProvider.
When you zoom you will see hard jumps from one colour to the next, as I said it does not gradient fill. Like this:
Some of our customers in racing have build something very similar. Actually I don’t kow how they’ve done this but check it out
This is a screenshot of the Revolve NTNU project, showcased here: https://blog.scichart.com/powering-research-development-innovation-worldwide/
Let me contact them and ask how they did it.
Finally, we could build this as a feature, if you log it, or as part of customisation / consultancy work if you want something specific that SciChart doesn’t do out of the box.
Best regards,
Andrew

- Update: I suspect the Race Map in the Revolve NTNU project is a scatter chart with PaletteProvider. Note that the only engine that can render this quickly is VisualXccelerator engine. Don’t use software for changing scatter points! It will be too slow.
- Thanks! We’ll try that.
