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?

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…

Hi, guys

Is there something similar like

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

from UIView but for chart Annotations?

Hi Sir/Madam,
I have created a Mountain Series with gradient fill. below is part of my code:

-(SCIRenderableSeriesBase *)getTimeSharePlot:(SCIXyDataSeries*)xySeries{
    SCIFastMountainRenderableSeries * rSeries = [SCIFastMountainRenderableSeries new];
    rSeries.dataSeries = xySeries;
    rSeries.strokeStyle = [[SCISolidPenStyle alloc] initWithColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:0 green:0 blue:0 alpha:1] withThickness:1];
    rSeries.areaStyle = [[SCILinearGradientBrushStyle alloc] initWithColorStart:[UIColor colorWithRed:32/255.0 green:56/255.0 blue:124/255.0 alpha:1.0] finish:[UIColor whiteColor] direction:SCILinearGradientDirection_Vertical];

    return rSeries;
}

When i run the test, the chart is just filling with solid color
Would you please help?

Hi, guys

I’m working with SCIDateTimeAxis type of the X-axis. So my question Is there possibility of skipping non-value period?

It would be nice to have an access to repo through CocoaPods. You can create a private spec repo and share with developers. https://guides.cocoapods.org/making/private-cocoapods.html

Guys can you tell me please why I get this error after build on new `mac M1 chip and how to solve it:

error: unable to load standard library for target ‘arm64-apple-ios8.0’
/Users/nameuser/Projects/pojectname/ios/SciChart.framework/Modules/SciChart.swiftmodule/arm64.swiftinterface:1:1: error: failed to build module ‘SciChart’ from its module interface; the compiler that produced it, ‘Apple Swift version 5.1.3 (swiftlang-1100.0.282.1 clang-1100.0.33.15)’, may have used features that aren’t supported by this compiler, ‘Apple Swift version 5.3.2 (swiftlang-1200.0.45 clang-1200.0.32.28)’
// swift-interface-format-version: 1.0`

On device, there is an unwanted border line on the SCIChartSurface. Please refer to the screenshot.

I tried removing this by setting the border width and setting it’s colour as white as below
self.surface.view.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor whiteColor]CGColor];
self.surface.view.layer.borderWidth = 2.0f;
However, this does not set the border of the SCIChartSurface.

How do I remove this unwanted border line?

Hi,

Using the ZoomExtentsModifier on multiple axis used to work in an earlier version of SciCharts, but is broken in 4.3.0. I have two y-axes set up, left and right on my chart, with the right-hand-side just mirroring the left. When I double-tap to zoom to the x/y range of the graph, only the x range is modified. If I disable the change listener that mirrors the range change on the primary y axis, double tap works as expected, but my right hand side y-axis no longer mirrors the primary axis range. This is how I’ve set up the dual axes:

        let yAxis = SCINumericAxis()
        yAxis.axisTitle = "Acceleration (g)"
        yAxis.axisAlignment = .left
        yAxis.visibleRangeLimitMode = .minMax
        chart?.yAxes.add( yAxis )

        // Add an additional visible yAxis to the right without label
        let yAxisRight = SCINumericAxis()
        yAxisRight.axisAlignment = .right
        yAxisRight.axisId = "yAxisRight"
        chart?.yAxes.add( yAxisRight )

        // Sync values with left (primary) axis
        yAxis.visibleRangeChangeListener = { (axis, oldRange, newRange, isAnimating) in
            yAxisRight.visibleRange = newRange
        }

Commenting out the listener at the bottom fixes the ZoomExtentsModifier problem, but is obviously not a workable solution. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello,

I am unable to install SciChart pod.
The podfile has multiple pods with multiple platforms and source.
I get the error saying ” [!] Unable to find a specification for ‘SciChart’.”

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?

Hello

In the real-time line chart, I want an animation like the video(link below).
Can you be provided with animations such as a point where a point drawn in real time continues to blink?

I would like to change the color of chart legend, but have failed to find information on how can I do this for iOS. Any sort of tutorial would be highly appreciated.

Worst case scenario would be to create a custom theme that is based on Bright Spark theme and update legend parameters there, but for this I would need to know what exactly does Bright Spark theme looks like.

Looking forward to any recommendations.

Best Regards,
Paul.

Hi all,

I’m trying to use the metal support in a little test project.
I have following lines to enable metal:

if SCIChartSurface.isMetalSupported {
      sciChartSurface.renderSurface = SCIMetalRenderSurface(frame: sciChartSurface.bounds)
 } else {
       sciChartSurface.renderSurface = SCIOpenGLRenderSurface(frame: sciChartSurface.bounds)
 }

the surface keeps empty until I remove the

sciChartSurface.renderSurface = SCIMetalRenderSurface(frame: sciChartSurface.bounds)

line – or in other words I use OpenGL.
Then the chart will render properly. I am using an iPhoneX (not simulator).

Thank you for your support!

Hello.

It’s very strange, but chart can not be zoomed with pinch, only by double tap fitting full screen.
And when trying to zoom app freezes and CPU load became 100%.

func installChart() {
    sciChartSurface = SCIChartSurface(frame: self.view.bounds)
    sciChartSurface?.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false


    self.vGraphBox.subviews.forEach({ $0.removeFromSuperview() })

    self.vGraphBox.addSubview(sciChartSurface!)

    NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
        sciChartSurface!.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.vGraphBox.leftAnchor),
        sciChartSurface!.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.vGraphBox.rightAnchor),
        sciChartSurface!.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.vGraphBox.bottomAnchor),
        sciChartSurface!.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.vGraphBox.topAnchor)
        ])

    // Add the SCIChartSurface as a subview
    self.vGraphBox.addSubview(sciChartSurface!)

    let xAxis = SCILogarithmicNumericAxis()
    xAxis.growBy = SCIDoubleRange(min: SCIGeneric(0.1), max: SCIGeneric(0.1))
    xAxis.scientificNotation = .logarithmicBase
    //xAxis.textFormatting = "#.#E+0"
    xAxis.logarithmicBase = 10.0
    xAxis.visibleRange = SCIDoubleRange(min: SCIGeneric(100), max: SCIGeneric(22000.0))

    let yAxis = SCINumericAxis()
    yAxis.autoRange = .never

    //self.sciChartSurface?.chartModifiers.add(pinchZoomModifier) //Causes freeze
    self.sciChartSurface?.chartModifiers.add(SCIZoomPanModifier())
    self.sciChartSurface?.chartModifiers.add(SCIZoomExtentsModifier())

    SCIUpdateSuspender.usingWithSuspendable(sciChartSurface!) {
        self.sciChartSurface?.xAxes.add(xAxis)
        self.sciChartSurface?.yAxes.add(yAxis)

}

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

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.

We have lots of Point Markers in our series that overlap, so we’re trying to find a way to Cluster them in Android and iOS. I can see that there is an SCIPointMarkerClusterizer. Can you give us some pointers on how we can achieve point marker clustering and/or spacing?

This might need to be two separate questions, but is there a way to select a point in a line series. or, can I style a pointMarker differently for each data point?

I would prefer to not have to do this with annotations.

Hello,

I am using SCI line chart for Android and iOS. How I can I add Multiple scales on the same graph for different lines?

Please do the needful.

I was testing my charts on a simulator and when I naved away and then back to the chart screen the Simulator’s chart was totally black screen; I could move the mouse over the points and the popouts would occur; and your license notice showed in the center of the chart. So it was almost like it thought all the drawing for the chart itself needed to be black on black.

It was always broken on the 2nd or later chart. Restarting the app fixed it. I tried removing all custom settings, and calling the invalidate; and nothing caused it to redraw correctly… Fortunately, when deploying to real devices everything worked correctly. Is this an expected side effect of testing on a simulator, or is their something that I can do to force a hard refresh of the chart…

FYI: The additional debug diagnostics don’t seem to do anything on a simulator, or at least I couldn’t find anywhere it was logged.

I’m using Xamarin.iOS and the SciChart.iOS NuGet. When adding a LabelProvider to an axis the iPhoneSimulator with iOS 13.2 crashes without warning or exception back to the phone menu. This issue is not present on Android using the same API usage pattern.

This effect is not just in my own apps but can be replicated by running the latest Examples app on the same simulator. Examples which demonstrate the same behaviour include “Custom Theme”, Stacked Column Side by Side Chart”, “Using Theme Manager”, all of which set the LabelProvider in the source code.

Is this a known bug? Maybe an incompatibility with the latest version of Xamarin.iOS.

I noticed that this issue has been reported before.

This is a deal breaker for us at the moment as formatting axis labels is pretty crucial.

Hi,

I’ve encountered an issue with the candlestick graph I’ve drawn that consists of a set of random X date time values – this causes the candlesticks have varying distances from one another.

Rendering the data from an initial set seems to be fine but as I run a NSTimer to add on more points, the body of the new candlesticks seem to be 0. (Note, the date time values are still random but have been made to be set after the last placed point)

In fact, the initial data points that I added see to be rendered ‘body-less’ if it’s within the same visible range as the newly added points. And if I pan along the newly added points, the bodies of some data points will appear at random visible ranges.

Is this a normal behaviour or should I take anything else into consideration?

Here are a couple of my configurations which I think may have affected anything:
1. My XAxis has set its visible range limit mode to ClipMode_Min
2. Candlestick series style data body width is set to be default.
3. I have a the following modifiers set up.

self.xDragModifier = [SCIXAxisDragModifier new];
self.xDragModifier.axisId = @"xAxis";
self.xDragModifier.dragMode = SCIAxisDragMode_Pan;
self.xDragModifier.clipModeX = SCIZoomPanClipMode_ClipAtMin;
[self.xDragModifier setModifierName:@"XAxis DragModifier"];

self.pinchZoomModifier = [[SCIPinchZoomModifier alloc] init];
[self.pinchZoomModifier setModifierName:@"PinchZoom Modifier"];
self.pinchZoomModifier.xyDirection = SCIXYDirection_XDirection;

self.zoomPanModifier = [SCIZoomPanModifier new];
self.zoomPanModifier.clipModeX = SCIZoomPanClipMode_ClipAtMin;
self.zoomPanModifier.xyDirection = SCIXYDirection_XDirection;
[self.zoomPanModifier setModifierName:@"ZoomPan Modifier"];

SCIModifierGroup * gm = [[SCIModifierGroup alloc] initWithChildModifiers:@[self.xDragModifier, self.pinchZoomModifier, self.zoomPanModifier]];
self.chartSurface.chartModifier = gm;

The points are drawing just fine, but the body of the candlestick is not appearing as expected.

Thanks in advance.

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.

I am creating point data series using SCIXyScatterRenderableSeries.
I need to tap on specific data points and display pop over or some view on top of it. Pop over provides information regarding that point.

How can I implement that in iOS.

I cannot get SCILinearGradientBrushStyle working on a donut chart. Only radial gradients work

Here is my code sample:

let segment = SCIPieSegment()
segment.fillStyle = SCILinearGradientBrushStyle(colorCodeStart: 0xff007aff, finish: 0x4D007aff, direction: .horizontal)
segment.value = 100.0
segment.title = "Segment"
donutSeries.segments.add(segment)

The segment just renders a flat color

SplineLineRenderableSeries doesn’t render curved graph line properly in Swift , it renders stepped line for the data series .For reference please check the Screenshot attached ,ECG line(Green) rendered as stepped line (Marked by rectangle). Let me know anything I need to update in my code

Good day guys. I have download SciChart_iOS_SDK_4.2.0.5533 on Macbook M1. And try to integrate ios-arm64_armv7 verions to my project. I have added SciChart.xcframework to frameworks in Xcode 12.4. But the build is failed with a few errors:

1. unable to load standard library for target arm-64-apple-ios9.0
2. Failed to build module ‘SciChart’ from its module interface, it may have been damaged or it may have triggered a bug in Swift compiler when it was produced.

Can you tell me please did I use the right version of SciChart.xcframework for apple silicone? And how to solve this errors?
