Hello all,

I have made a custom RenderableSeries, but after adding the series to my ChartSeries, it shows the seriesName in the legend (as desired), but it does not show the Stroke color I assigned to this. It does however, show the stroke color in the legend for the default RenderableSeries.

Could someone please help me out? Thanks in advance!

Custom RenderableSeries sourcecode:

    class TheoreticDistanceBetweenTracksRenderableSeries : FastImpulseRenderableSeries
{
    protected override void InternalDraw(IRenderContext2D renderContext, IRenderPassData renderPassData)
    {
        if (!(renderPassData.PointSeries is Point2DSeries dataPointSeries)) return;

        var pointSeries = CurrentRenderPassData.PointSeries;

        for (var i = 0; i < dataPointSeries.Count; i++)
        {
            var index = dataPointSeries.Indexes[i];

            var metadata = (DistanceBetweenTracksMetaData)(DataSeries.HasMetadata ? DataSeries.Metadata[index] : null);
            if (metadata == null) continue;

            var point = pointSeries[i];

            if (double.IsNaN(point.Y))
                continue;

            var x1 = (float)renderPassData.XCoordinateCalculator.GetCoordinate(metadata.MeasureFrom);
            var x2 = (float)renderPassData.XCoordinateCalculator.GetCoordinate(metadata.MeasureTo);

            var y1 = (float)renderPassData.YCoordinateCalculator.GetCoordinate(metadata.MinimumDistance);
            var y2 = (float)renderPassData.YCoordinateCalculator.GetCoordinate(metadata.MinimumDistance);

            DrawLine(renderContext, x1, x2, y1, y2);
        }

        renderContext.SafeDispose();
    }

    private void DrawLine(IRenderContext2D renderContext, double x1, double x2, double y1, double y2)
    {
        using (var pen = renderContext.CreatePen(Stroke, false, 3f, Opacity, null, PenLineCap.Flat))
        {
            var drawingHelper =
                SeriesDrawingHelpersFactory.GetSeriesDrawingHelper(renderContext, CurrentRenderPassData);

            var pt1 = TransformPoint(new Point(x1, y1), false);
            var pt2 = TransformPoint(new Point(x2, y2), false);

            drawingHelper.DrawLine(pt1, pt2, pen);
        }
    }
}

the RenderableSeries is then initiated trough a method:

        private TheoreticDistanceBetweenTracksRenderableSeries CreateTheoreticDistanceSerieMinimum(XyDataSeries<double, double> dataSeries, string title)
    {
        var renderableSeries = new TheoreticDistanceBetweenTracksRenderableSeries
        {
            Tag = title,
            DataSeries = dataSeries,
            DrawNaNAs = LineDrawMode.Gaps,
            Stroke = (Color)Application.Current.TryFindResource("MeasurementColor1"),
            StrokeThickness = 2,
            IsSelected = true,
            YAxisId = "MainSeriesYAxis"
        };

        TooltipModifier.SetIncludeSeries(renderableSeries, true);

        return renderableSeries;
    }

and this method is invoked here:

var dataSerieMinimum = new XyDataSeries<double, double>
        {
            SeriesName = Properties.Resources.TDBT_Minimum,
            AcceptsUnsortedData = false
        };
        dataSerieMinimum.Append(xData, yData, pointMetaDatas);

        chartSeriesViewModels.Add(new ChartSeriesViewModel(dataSerieMinimum, CreateTheoreticDistanceSerieMinimum(dataSerieMinimum, ChartTitleFactory.GetTitle(chartViewModel.ChartType))));

Could anyone help me out? Thank you!

Hi Yves,

You need to set a LegendMarkerTemplate on the custom series.

This is covered in our [Custom RenderableSeries Example here:][1]

The code is as follows:

    <local:SplineLineRenderableSeries x:Name="SplineRenderSeries" Stroke="DarkGreen" StrokeThickness="2"  
                                              IsSplineEnabled="True" UpSampleFactor="10">

                <!-- LegendMarkerTemplate is required to show a marker in the legend next to SeriesName -->
                <local:SplineLineRenderableSeries.LegendMarkerTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <Line VerticalAlignment="Center" Stretch="Fill" Stroke="DarkGreen"
                                StrokeThickness="2" X1="0" X2="1" Y1="0.5" Y2="0.5" />
                    </DataTemplate>
                </local:SplineLineRenderableSeries.LegendMarkerTemplate>

              ... 

            </local:SplineLineRenderableSeries>

This template is then rendered in the legend.

Let me know if it helps!

Best regards,
Andrew

    Thank you, this would indeed help! I have however fixed it instead by making my RenderableSeries inherit from CustomRenderableSeries, instead of the previous. Thank you again for your help! Regard, Yves
