Hi, guys

What is the minimum required sdk version for SciChart v.2?

Such as i have some trouble with IOS 9. See attachment.

Same behavior at real devices.

Can you look at this?

Hi, guys

Is it possible to use negative index for methods:

-(void) insertAt:(int)index X:(SCIGenericType)x Open:(SCIGenericType)open High:(SCIGenericType)high Low:(SCIGenericType)low Close:(SCIGenericType)close;

-(void) updateAt:(int)index Open:(SCIGenericType)open High:(SCIGenericType)high Low:(SCIGenericType)low Close:(SCIGenericType)close;

Can you give an answer?

Hello!

I am building an iOS framework that sits on top of SciChart for app developers within our company. I’d like to provide my own default SCIThemeColorProvider object for charts in my framework. Easiest way to do that is to include my own theme plist in my framework’s bundle, but I cannot currently do that (as of 2.0.0.1643) because the SCIThemeColorProvider initializer assumes it’s either in the “Charting.SciChart” bundle or the main bundle.

I’d like to propose modifying SCIThemeColorProvider to add another initializer that takes a bundle ID, like this:

/**
 * Creates theme provider based on specified style
 *
 * @param themeKey The key of style which should be used as base for this theme provider
 *
 * @param bundleIdentifier The identifier of the bundle containing the theme plist identified by 
 *                         themeKey; if nil, the main bundle is used.
 */
- (nullable instancetype)initWithThemeKey:(nonnull NSString*)themeKey bundleIdentifier:(nullable NSString*)bundleIdentifier;

The existing -initWithThemeKey: initializer would call through to this initializer with a nil bundle ID.

I have attached a patch file with this proposed change. Could this be added to an upcoming build?

I have a Xamarin forms Project with one page of my app containing a SciChart. On that page, I have a RelativeLayout.

In the code behind for that page, I pass my layout to a dependency service method which adds the SciChartSurface to it depending on the platform. This has tested well on various Android platforms.

For iOS, I’ve tested on a device running iOS 9 and simulators running 9, 10, and 11. And any run less than 11 does not display. The view is simply blank.

Here’s the code where I add the SciChartSurface to the view.. I’m still new to SciChart, so I’m not sure if I’m doing everything totally correct.

public void renderSciChart(Xamarin.Forms.RelativeLayout masterLayout, Xamarin.Forms.RelativeLayout topLayout)
    {


        SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCIChartSurface Surface = new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCIChartSurface();
        Surface.TranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = true;
        SciChart.iOS.Charting.XyDataSeries<double, double> dataSeries = new SciChart.iOS.Charting.XyDataSeries<double, double>();
        //generateDataPoints(dataSeries);
        var xAxis = new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCINumericAxis{/*GrowBy = new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCIDoubleRange(0.1, 0.1), VisibleRange = new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCIDoubleRange(1.1,2.7)*/};
        var yAxis = new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCINumericAxis();
        var renderableSeries = new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCIFastLineRenderableSeries { DataSeries = dataSeries, StrokeStyle = new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCISolidPenStyle(0xFF279B27, 2f) };
        using (Surface.SuspendUpdates())
        {
            Surface.XAxes.Add(xAxis);
            Surface.YAxes.Add(yAxis);
            Surface.RenderableSeries.Add(renderableSeries);
            Surface.ChartModifiers = new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCIChartModifierCollection
            {
                new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCIZoomPanModifier(),
                new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCIPinchZoomModifier(),
                new SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCIZoomExtentsModifier(),
            };
        }

        masterLayout.Children.Add(Surface.ToView(),
        widthConstraint: Constraint.RelativeToParent(parent => parent.Width),
        heightConstraint: Constraint.RelativeToParent(parent => parent.Height * 0.5),
        yConstraint: Constraint.RelativeToView(topLayout, (RelativeLayout, element) => element.Height));
    }

Additionally, here’s a Screenshot of the same code running on a simulator with iOS 10 (Left) and iOS 11 (Right).

Hi, guys

Is there something similar like

• (void)bringSubviewToFront:(UIView *)view;
• (void)sendSubviewToBack:(UIView *)view;

from UIView but for chart Annotations?

Hi, guys

My x axis is SCICategoryDateTimeAxis and i’m want to draw grid line with custom period. Let’s say every four hours for data with a period of thirty minutes. What is the best way for that?

Can i redifined axis’s tickCoordinatesProvider?
Can you provide some example?
Or it only possible with axes annotations ?

Hello,
I’m following along with the tutorial. I installed using the pod. I am at the end of Tutorial 3 and am getting an error. Use of unresolved Identifier ‘SciGeneric’. I can see I have the wrapper file in my project. Any Ideas what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks
Warren

I’ve downloaded yesterday showcase example from your github: https://github.com/ABTSoftware/SciChart.iOS.Examples

After providing license key other samples work ok except Audio Analyzer (and the last sales dashboard – shows blank screen).

Problems is somewhere with SpectrogramSurfaceController ( If I commend it out wave plot and fft plot works)

Xcode shows there is some bad memory access at:
[SCIFastUniformHeatMapRenderableSeries internalDrawWithContext:WithData:]
cblas_sscal

Tested using:
iPhone 5SE
iOS 11.2.5
Xcode 9.2

Hi,
I am creating iOS aplication which displays charts based on stocks data.
I want to create box annotations to show when market is open or closed.
I am using CategoryDateTimeAxis to display data but when i add AnnotationCollection with BoxAnnotations to Surface i can not see the annotations.

This is my code for creating box Annotation:

    let pre = SCIBoxAnnotation()
    pre.coordinateMode = .relative
    pre.x1 = SCIGeneric(setDate(date, 4, 0, 0)!)
    pre.x2 = SCIGeneric(setDate(date, 9, 30, 0)!)
    pre.y1 = SCIGeneric(max )
    pre.y2 = SCIGeneric(0)
    pre.isEditable = false
    pre.style.fillBrush = SCISolidBrushStyle(color: #colorLiteral(red: 0.01680417731, green: 0.1983509958, blue: 1, alpha: 0.13))
    pre.style.borderPen = SCISolidPenStyle(color: .clear, withThickness: 0)

Hi,
we are using an UICollectionView to display different kinds of views in our application, including charts created with SciChart. We noted that every time a cell with a SciChart is loaded, some memory is allocated and not freed when the cell disappears, which leads to a massive memory leak and eventually crashes the application.
Is there a way to free SciChart resources on demand? Or maybe you suggest another solution to solve this issue?

Anna

Hi,
Im tryin to create an effect where I have a static point on the Y Axis and I want to perform zoom in, so what I did is to increase or decrease the Max visible range, what I’m left with is the rubber band effect where my static point isn’t static anymore because the point in “Stretching” in the direction I’m zooming.

Hi

I am developing a Xamarin iOS application and I’m using a SCIPieChartSurface. I can create the chart and set its values, but is is not possible to auto-update the donut with new data.
I am trying to update the value by doing:

myDonut.MyPieSegment.Value = newValue;

But nothing happends…

I heard it was a bug in the API for Android a month ago, is this similar? Or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Best regards
Jonas

Hi

I am developing a Xamarin iOS application and I’m using a SCIPieChartSurface. I can create the chart and set its values, but it is not possible to auto-update the donut with new data.
I am trying to update the value by doing:

myDonut.MyPieSegment.Value = newValue;

But nothing happends…

I’m trying to accomplish 2 things:

First is that I would like to not be able to zoom out past the data, it does no good to zoom out if there is no more data to see. It would also be nice to have a little bounce/spring back if you zoom to far, like when zooming out on an image on an iPhone.

The second is that I only want to be able to pan to the data. If zoomed all the way out, then trying to pan would do nothing. If zoomed in you should be able to scroll around, but only to the end of the data.

I believe I have the first one accomplished by setting the maximalZoomContrain to be the same as the data range, although this doesn’t allow any kind of bounce.

What need to be done to make this work, this seems like a feature that is built into the SciChart Modifiers.

Hi Guys,

I am not able to figure out solution for handling NAN values in iOS which is available in Android in case of FastLineRenderableSeries.

Thanks

I’m trying to create a Modifier for a PieChart Surface. I can not figure out how to get a segment for a point on the screen. With SciChartSurface, you can get the axis, and use its calculator to get a datapoint, or pixel point. Is there something similar in SciPieChartSurface?

How can I hide the default segment value label drawn automatically?
I need the solution for both iOS and Android version.

Is there a way to provide custom text for the labels in a PieChartSegment? I want to format the text, but haven’t been able to find a label formatter for the pie charts.

yAxis.textFormatting = “%f”
First image file is the result of this code.

yAxis.textFormatting = “0.00000000”
Second image file is the result of this code.

First code doesn’t work, even it is just a sample code in document.
Second code works, but I want flexible trailing zeros.
How can I do?

Andrew required swift code so I attach the code.
Please answer my question again.

https://www.scichart.com/questions/question/customize-chart-designwith-pic
https://www.scichart.com/questions/question/cannnot-remove-weird-square-areas

Andrew answered second question, but it didn’t work.
There is no drawAxisBands.

When scrolling, some weird bold lines appear and disappear.
You can see it on image files attached.
How can i fix it?

I wanna make chart area background color white.
And I implemented it like below.

surface.xAxes.defaultAxis()?.style.gridBandBrush.color = .white
surface.yAxes.defaultAxis()?.style.gridBandBrush.color = .white

Then, some part became white, but not whole area.
I wanna remove those black areas, so I used theme manager, and it worked.

SCIThemeManager.applyTheme(toThemeable: surface, withThemeKey: “SciChart_Bright_Spark”)
surface.xAxes.defaultAxis()?.style.gridBandBrush.color = .white
surface.yAxes.defaultAxis()?.style.gridBandBrush.color = .white

But, this is not reasonable. I use that theme, only to change background color.
Is there another way to acheive white background?

I would like to add scrollBar to SCINumericAxis for example xAxis.

I did find documentation:
https://www.scichart.com/documentation/v5.x/webframe.html#Scrollbars.html

But on iOS version, I can’t find numericAxis.Scrollbar is missing

When I add CursorModifier programmatically on long tap I have to remove my finger from screen and press it again In order to CursorModifier become visible

Is it possible to do the following?


1) scroll chart horizontally

2) long tap on screen

3) add CursorModifier programmatically and show it immediately

4) move CursorModifier(finger is still touching the screen)

5) remove finger from screen and remove CursorModifier so I can scroll again

Thank you for reply in advance!

I was able to add multiple y axis and able to fill data on different y axis but the problem is all the y axis are overlapping. What I want is how can I segregate y axes in such a way that they should appear one below the other in the same surface. I tried adding two different surface but then I am not able to add single cursorModifier to both surface. Our android developers had used something called YAxisStackedLayoutStrategy to achieeeve this is there any equivalent class for iOS

I want to modify SCICursorModifier in such a way that while user is doing pan gesture in x direction the line should always be in the centre of candlestick. How can i achieve this. For example there are 3 candlestick visible while panning from 0th x co-ordinate vertical line should be in the centre of first candlestick on more panning it will go to the centre of 2nd candlestick like rollover modifier

I am placing annotations at the top of every bar in a stacked bar graph (and a standard bar graph on another screen) showing the total of all the stacked bars by iterating through my data, generating the sum, and placing it at the correct x,y (an incredibly manual process that seems like there should be much easier to do but I found no other way to do it – if there is a better way, I would love to hear it, but that’s a secondary issue and not my current problem).

I also have a legend where the user can select / deselect series.

When the user selects/deselects a series from the legend, I need to hide all my annotations and then recreate them because the sums of the stacked bars has changed (or if no bars are showing, remove my annotation completely). My assumption is I could reiterate through my data and check series to see if they are visible (isVisible) and recalculate the sums and recreate the annotations (another very manual process but I can probably work it out).

My primary problem is I see no way for me to intercept that this legend event occurred. The series get hidden internally and I never have a chance to do anything with the annotations. It seems like this may be doable on other platforms but I’m at a loss on iOS. There is no delegate / block event handler / etc.

Any thoughts?

I’m trying to add annotations on a chart but they are rendering above my legend.

Initially (similar to most of the demo code I’ve seen), I setup my modifiers, then created my series and animated them in — then added my annotations (adding to annotationGroup). This created a timeline of blank chart surface with legend (good so far), annotations popping in before the chart series animated in (weird / not good) and on TOP of the legend (really bad), then the animation of the series after that.

I’ve tried about everything I can think of and the best I’ve been able to do is use a completion block of the animation rendering the series — and moved my chart modifiers (and legend) into that completion block. If I put the annotations in the completion block, they will render after the chart modifier and I have the same problem (even if placed after the chart modifiers). I have to set the annotations before the animation, and then the chart modifier in the completion block will work and the legend will be above the . Of course, this is a bit odd too — as first my annotations pop up by themselves on the blank surface, followed by my series animating in, then at the end of the 2 second animation, the legend just pops in.

I really would like my legend to be rendered first on the blank surface and the annotations and chart series to animate in together under my legend. I’m gathering that’s unlikely (at least the animation part) — but is there anyway I can place my legend first and still have the annotations go under it? It feels like the layers should be: modifiers > annotations > rendered series. I also I’ve read this order before in some WPF docs I believe, but doesn’t seem to be respected on iOS?

UPDATE: My current work around isn’t sufficient because I really need access to the renderable series to create the annotations which means I really can’t defer my chart modifiers (i.e. legend) until after the annotations. Additionally, if I need to update (remove / re-add) an annotation due to a series being deactivated in the legend, now my annotations are on top of the legend again.

Hello,
I would like to place a title for an X axis to the right of axis labels. I am easily able to achieve this on Android (see attached screenshot), but I cannot find relevant properties (axisTitlePlacement etc.) in iOS version of SciChart.

In the last section of this article in documentation you write that it is possible, however the links are dead (and frankly, the method names look suspiciously Java-ish to me).

Hello,
I managed to implement a chart legend with a custom datasource (using just a SCIChartLegend object as a subview, not SCILegendModifier). However, I am unable to place the legend at specified position, it always snaps to upper-left corner of the screen. When creating a SCIChartLegend instance using the initializer that takes a Rect as a parameter, but not supplying a custom datasource, it draws correctly according to offsets specified by the supplied rect’s X and Y. It does respond to changes in the legendPosition property, but it still doesn’t allow to draw the view with any margins (which is what I’m actually trying to achieve).
