attachment is one type chart used in our product. could the sciChart implement this functions?

great thanks.

Is there any documentation besides the tutorials? Something like the one found on MSDN, with all the Properties of the SciChart elements that can be styled.

Hi!

I want SciChart to display always the first and last value of an axis. I created a chart wich shows volume on the y-axis and time in seconds on the y-axis. The axis are initialized in the view model with fixed axis dimensions like this:

this.TimeAxis = new NumericAxis();
this.TimeAxis.VisibleRange.SetMinMax(0, 60);
this.TimeAxis.AxisTitle = "Time [s]";
((AxisBase)this.TimeAxis).Style =        (Style)Application.Current.FindResource("DefaultSciChartAxisStyle");

this.VolumeAxis = new NumericAxis();
this.VolumeAxis.VisibleRange.SetMinMax(0, 8);
this.VolumeAxis.AxisTitle = "Volume [l]";
this.VolumeAxis.AxisAlignment = AxisAlignment.Left;
((AxisBase)this.VolumeAxis).Style = (Style)Application.Current.FindResource("DefaultSciChartAxisStyle");

How is it possible to display the first and last value of the axis as shown with red numbers in the attached example.png which are not shown by default?

Best regards,
Joerg

Hi Guys,

I am just wondering if you can help us with the following issue.
We are trying to create a scatter char. The data series set looks like :

public IDataSeriesSet<float, float> ChartDatafloat

The problem that we are having is that there are points that are missing on the chart when it gets generated. so, we would like if you guys could test with the points that I am attaching (scattercsv.csv) and figure out why this is happening… We have seen that points around 14 and between 2000 and 2050 in the Xaxis are not displaying.

<SciChart:SciChartSurface x:Name="SciChartSurface" SciChart:ThemeManager.Theme="BrightSpark"
                              DataSet="{Binding ChartDataXfloat, Mode=TwoWay}">

            </SciChart:NumericAxis>
        </SciChart:SciChartSurface.YAxis>

    </SciChart:SciChartSurface>

I am attaching as well an image that shows how the chart should looks like. I am only trying to display the blue points. So, chart number 1 displays all the points that I am attaching in the spreadsheet and chart number 2 is the one that I am trying to create with the same points and as you can see is missing some of the points.

Hope you can help us….

Thanks very much

Hi,
I have a SciChartSurfacewith one xaxis an four yaxis and a dynamic number of series which are added at runtime.
Also I have some modifiers especially the ZoomExtentsModifier( ExecuteOn=”MouseDoubleClick” XyDirection=”XDirection”) and for each yaxis a yaxisdragmodifier.
Is it possible to double click on a single yaxis and ZoomExtends only this yaxis?

Regards Markus

hello

I have problems with RolloverModifier while dataseries are UnsortedXyDataSeries. If I change to (sorted)XyDataSeries everything OK. I didn’t find any information in documentation that this modifier has such restriction.
Second question about sorted series: does Append(x,y) of XyDataSeries require to be last point of x range or it can append to any place of existing range?

Hi,

I am trying to create a chart with additional information, similarly as discussed in this question:
https://www.scichart.com/questions/question/correlating-metadata-with-datapoints/
It works fine for simple information, such as enums, that I can cast into a double (see also the example provided in the question mentioned above).

However it seems that there is a restriction on the generic class XyzDataSeries.
Whenever I try to use a different data types for TY and TZ

XyzDataSeries<DateTime, double, int>

I get the following exception at runtime:

SciChartSurface didn’t render, because an exception was thrown:

Message: Das Objekt des Typs "Abt.Controls.SciChart.Wpf.StoreEditor1[System.Int32]" kann nicht in Typ "System.Collections.Generic.IList1[System.Double]" umgewandelt werden.

  Stack Trace:    bei Abt.Controls.SciChart.Wpf.NetworkResolver1.Execute(ResamplingMode resamplingMode, IndexRange pointRange, Int32 viewportWidth, Boolean isFifo, Boolean isCategoryAxis, IList xColumn, IList yColumn, Nullable1 dataIsSorted, Nullable1 dataIsEvenlySpaced, Nullable1 dataIsDisplayedAs2d, IRange visibleXRange)

   bei Abt.Controls.SciChart.Wpf.MethodManager.RenderLoop(IRenderContext2D renderContext)
   bei Abt.Controls.SciChart.Visuals.SciChartSurface.DoDrawingLoop()

Sorry for the german. The message translates to:

The object of type [...] cannot be casted into type [...]

I’m quite confused about this. It works nicely, if I use the same data types for TY and TZ .

XyzDataSeries<DateTime, double, double>
XyzDataSeries<DateTime, int, int>

This is not what I would expect from a generic type with three types.
If the types for Y and Z values need to be of the same type, the class should rather look something like this: XyzDataSeries<TX, TYZ>.
The API documentation does not mention anything about this. It only states that the types need to be IComparables, which seems not the full truth.

This is a problem for me, because I have more complex metadata than a double, which I want to reference over the Z value.
But I don’t want to use an index of type double. I’d rather use a GUID or even add the metadata object itself as Z value.

Is this by design or is this something that could be fixed in the future?

Do you have a suggestion how to best reference point related metadata (without having to implement my own DataSeries)?

Hi!

I would like to add a margin to the x-axis number so that they don’t stick on the axis anymore. See attached screenshot for detailed explanation.

Is that possible?

Best regards,
Joerg

Hi I’m just wondering if there is anyway to force Y values to show up on the chart for all data points like a Histogram. I’ve attached screenshots to show what I would like the final screen to look like (ChartTest) so you have an idea. Hoping there is a way to force rollover to always show, or maybe have axis markers on the bottom that can display the y value at each x point. Hopefully you understand what I’m trying to achieve. Thanks.

Hello, SciChart team,
i’m trying to ZoomExtents a chart, which is in in one tab of TabControl, from another tab, but it doesn’t change visible ranges.

i wanted to attach an example project, but every time i try i get “Forbidden” popup & nothing attaches (file size is 900 KB, format – “.zip”)
here’s link for an Example
please help with this not so large but unpleasant issue,
thanks heaps,
Alexander

Hi,
I have some XyDataSeries<DateTime, double> showing some data on my chart. Also I have 2 vertical line annotations (red and blue) where I know the two DateTime values.

Is there a effective way to get the double values between this range of each XyDataSeries.

Regarrds Markus

Hi
I not really understand how i could display the X and Y value separated in a rolloverLabel?
In the example is always on value like Y.
Can you help me?

Thanks

Hi

This is a little snippet of my code

<s:SciChartSurface SeriesSource="{Binding ChartSeries}"
                   YAxes="{Binding YAxisCollection}"
                   XAxis="{Binding XAxis}"
                   Annotations="{Binding AnnotationCollection}"
                   s:HorizontalGroupHelper.HorizontalChartGroup="horizontalChartGroup">

I would like to be able to set throught my ViewModel the “syncWidthGroup” of the HorizontalChartGroup like this.

s:HorizontalGroupHelper.HorizontalChartGroup="{Binding ChartGroup}"

But an exception is thrown saying I can only bind to DP og DO.

    System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException occurred
  HResult=-2146233087

So how would I go about doing this through code and not xaml, as I use ViewModel first approach and ViewModels are dynamically appended to an Items collection? (Using Caliburn.Micro)

Hi Guys

I am using an ItemsControl to display a collection of SciStockCharts. I want to be able to use a single SciChartOverview (not part of the Item Template) to set the visible range on all of the charts displayed in the ItemsControl. Is this possible and if so how would I go about achieving it.

Thanks in advance

Hello support team,

Im looking for a way to use keys to navigate through values in the graph. The rollover provides this easily with the mouse.
I include the rollovermodifier and the template I have. Do you have an idea how to do this? I just need to navigate left and right with the cursors. Any input or idea is extremely welcome.
Thank you very much for your great support

Hi,

Annotation chart sample Drag Horizontal Threshold allow us to draw custom controllable color for the data series. The same way I need to draw the chart surface background color. I couldn’t find the appropriate API to do this job. Could you advise how to draw surface background color.

Update:

Attached the graph image, I like to draw the grey and white backgrounds based on horizontal and vertical line positions.

Thanks.

Good afternoon,

In the project Im working I need to save the annotations created so I can load generate them when the graph is generated.
I have tried to serialize them but maybe because its obfuscated I get an exception I try serialization:
There was an error reflecting type ‘Abt.Controls.SciChart.LineArrowAnnotation’
inner exception: There was an error reflecting property ‘InputBindings’.
Do you have an easy solution for this?

I would like to ask if its possible to have such a feature included, a method that would return the xml of the current state of the object.
or the list of minimum properties needed for annotation base:
X1, X2, Y1, Y2, YAxisId

then each different annotation type has different properties, thats why serialization would be extremely useful in this case.

Thank you for your attention

Hi

Has anyone implemented or has any thoughts on how to implement keyboard shortcuts to zoom and pan? Something like key up/down/right/left to pan and shift+up/down/right/left to zoom?

I want to have a BoxAnnotation where Y1 (- double.Infinity) and Y2 (+ double.Infinity). Basically I wanna specify only X1 and X2. And the behaviour must ensure always the box annotations Y1 & Y2 stretch to visible area even when I resize (zoomout) the chart.

In the screen shot its not stretched.

Hi,

Now that I’m binding to a SeriesSource instead of creating my RenderableSeries in XAML, I don’t know how to apply a RolloverMarkerTemplate.

In XAML I had the following:

                        <SciChart:FastLineRenderableSeries SeriesColor="Blue">
                            <SciChart:FastLineRenderableSeries.Style>
                                <Style TargetType="{x:Type SciChart:FastLineRenderableSeries}">
                                    <Setter Property="RolloverMarkerTemplate">
                                        <Setter.Value>
                                            <ControlTemplate>
                                                <Ellipse Width="7" Height="7" Fill="SlateGray" Stroke="SlateGray" StrokeThickness="1" />
                                            </ControlTemplate>
                                        </Setter.Value>
                                    </Setter>
                                </Style>
                            </SciChart:FastLineRenderableSeries.Style>
                        </SciChart:FastLineRenderableSeries>

But now I do something like this:

    _chartSeries.Add(New ChartSeriesViewModel(rawSeries, New FastLineRenderableSeries()))
            With _chartSeries(0).RenderSeries
                .SeriesColor = Colors.Blue
            End With

I’m able to set the SeriesColor = Colors.Blue in code, but I don’t know how to generate the RolloverMarkerTemplate to control other features such as the ellipse shape.

Thanks,
–George

I saw in the examples where a “gain” and “loss” affected the color of a series. This took a bit of time; however, I figured out was you were doing and was able to implement it.

Please see the attached image. There are 2 sections in my series that are “Green” whereas the remainder of the series is gray. I’d like to be able to do 2 things ONLY to the green area.

• Show point markers ONLY on the points in the green area.
• Increase the stroke thickness.

Hello,

I am evaluating the possibility to use SciChart for our corporate project, and now trying to create a series using data binding, strict MVVM (no code in code behind). The data we have are provided as an ObservableCollection, and the series would need to use the property “SomeKey” for X-Axis value, and the property “SomeValue” for the Y-Axis. Is it possible to do this, and if yes, then how?

Best regards

We want to add a toggle button to our chart, that changes the view range between zooming to a particular region of the graph and showing the whole dataset.
To achieve so, we have followed this post that suggests overriding the methods OnCalculateNewYRange and OnCalculateNewXRange inside a custom viewport manager https://www.scichart.com/documentation/win/current/webframe.html#ViewportManager%20-%20Full%20Control%20over%20Axis%20Ranges%20and%20Viewport.html

However, we have found that always overriding those methods does not work, because they get called when the user zooms and pans around the chart, where you want the default range to be returned, not our custom computed one.
Adding a flag to only override the methods when you click the button has also proven tricky, as those methods get called internally many times and it is difficult to control.
Is there an easier way to achieve this behaviour?

Our overridden methods look something along these lines:

/// <inheritdoc/>
    protected override IRange OnCalculateNewXRange(
        IAxis axis )
    {
        var computedRange = base.OnCalculateNewXRange( axis );

        if ( !( GetXLimitsForCurrentVisibleRangeLevel is null ) ) 
        {
            // Method that returns our computed visible range as a function of the toggle button state (CurrentVisibleRangeLevel )
           // Returns null when a flag indicates that it has already been called after the toggle button was clicked
            var newRange = GetXLimitsForCurrentVisibleRangeLevel( CurrentVisibleRangeLevel );
            return newRange ?? computedRange;
        }

        return computedRange;
    }    

Many thanks in advance!

I would like to show the Y values of the slice on a special panel. So far I have not yet found out how to disable the tooltips that appear next to the annotation line. I have tried to add a ToolTipOpening handler to the anntotated line, to the modifier and to the chart surface but it does not get called.

What should I do?

I would like to define two FastHeatMapRenderableSeries.ColorMap s. One in black and white for printing and the other one, … Why not just for the fun of it :D. How would I be able to switch between ColorMaps ( preferably through binding ) in wpf?
