I have bound the annotation collection to the scichart as shown below.

Annotations="{s:AnnotationsBinding ChartAnnotations}"

And in the code behind (view model) i am adding annotations to the collection like,

   private AnnotationCollection _ChartAnnotations = new AnnotationCollection();
   public AnnotationCollection ChartAnnotations
   {
      get { return _ChartAnnotations; }
      set
      {
         if (_ChartAnnotations == value)
            return;

         _ChartAnnotations = value;
         OnPropertyChanged("ChartAnnotations");
      }
   }

   TextAnnotation annotation = new TextAnnotation();
   annotation.X1 = FirstX;
   annotation.Y1 = 2.0;
   annotation.Text = tempData1[(i - 1) >= 0 ? (i - 1) : 0].PacketType.ToString();
   ChartAnnotations.Add(annotation);

But I am not getting any annotation when I run it, moreover, the original scichart series is also getting disturbed.

Would be grateful if you look into the issue.
Thanks

Hi there,

Thank you for your question!

The AnnotationsBinding Markup Extension must be bound to a collection of IAnnotationViewModel

Like this:

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

 </s:SciChartSurface>

…

public class MainViewModel : BindableObject
{
    private ObservableCollection<IAnnotationViewModel> _annotations = new ObservableCollection<IAnnotationViewModel>();

    public MainViewModel()
    {
        Annotations.Add(new LineAnnotationViewModel()
        {
           X1 = 1, X2 = 2, Y1 = 1, Y2 = 2,
           XAxisId = AxisBase.DefaultAxisId,
           YAxisId = AxisBase.DefaultAxisId,
           CoordinateMode = AnnotationCoordinateMode.Relative,
           DragDirections = XyDirection.XYDirection,
           ResizeDirections = XyDirection.XYDirection,
           StrokeThickness = 2, 
           Stroke = Colors.Red,
        });
        ... 
    }

    public ObservableCollection<IAnnotationViewModel> Annotations {  get { return _annotations; } }                
}

Please see our Annotations MVVM API Documentation for more details.

Best regards,
Andrew

    From the testing that I have done till now, one thing I got to know is that if I add the annotations in the constructor of my view model , it works fine, but if I add the annotations in my timer function (in a loop) it won’t work.
  • Andrew
    It shouldn’t matter where you add them. I would suggest following our tutorial on adding annotations with mvvm to better understand this api https://www.scichart.com/documentation/v5.x/Tutorial%2007b%20-%20Adding%20Annotations%20with%20MVVM.html

    Thanks for the help. I think the problem is that I want to add a collection of annotations every time I update the line series in a timer (dynamically) and I guess that is not possible with annotations in scichart.

    I had one small query… In the tutorial 07b – Adding Annotations with MVVM , how is the ObservableCollection(IAnnotationViewModel) Annotations bound to xaml code, cause I am getting a blank scichart surface on adding the annotations through this – Annotations=”{s:AnnotationsBinding Annotations}”?
  • Andrew
    Blank chart can be debugged by going through our troubleshooting. http://support.scichart.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/17247/36/help-my-chart-is-blank-why-doesnt-scichart-render. The tutorial code works so there must be a problem on your side?
