Hi,

we have recently bought Bundle licenses to be able to use SciChart JS. We are non-profit and make in-house web-applications.
I want to migrate to it asap but need urgent clarification on the licensing. There is only 1 domain allowed per developer. This seems strange to me because we run multiple micro-UIs under different domains. We also have dev & test environments. Do we need an extra license for all of these?

Please clarify. We are very happy with SciChart but this would be a major problem for us.

I would like to create an arc annotation as shown in the attached image in Scichart JavaScript.
Please guide me on what will be the best way.

Screenshots attached.

To recreate:

• Create a chart
• Add a CursorModifier – default options is fine
• Either directly remove the modifier using .remove(modifier), or clear all using .clear()

Expected behaviour:
– Should remove the cursor modifier

Actual behaviour with bug:
– Crashes the page

This appears to be an issue with CursorModifier only (out of the 5 or 6 that I’ve tried). Other modifiers work as expected.

Traced the issue to this.parentSurface being undefined in CursorModifier.js, so when onDetach() is called, it errors.

Thanks!
Joe

Hello,

I am having a problem where I want to display the Rollover Modifier only when I click on the selected graph.
For example:
https://demo.scichart.com/javascript-chart-rollovermodifier-tooltips
If I select the Second Lines Series, I want to see the rollover only for that particular graph and not the first one and the third one.

I have tried using charts id’s as a reference to show only one tooltip but it just enables it for all the graphs.

Any help would be kindly appreciated.

can i use scichart in vue2.0 or 3.0?

I see in the documentation that I need to set the boolean to true/false. But my question is how do I do this after the series has been rendered? I am using a custom legend and need to be able to toggle visibility.

Inside the onClick function is where I was trying to change visibility for both series. I’ve tried multiple things without any luck. I assumed it would be as simple as getting the correct series, setting the visible property and maybe a re-render if that is even needed? Like I said any advice on a better way of handling this is welcome

I am trying to create a live updated non-uniform heatmap with uniform xStep but non-uniform yStep. But I got color mapping problem when I tried to create the non-uniform heatmap. The color showing in the chart doesn’t map with the ColorMap value. Below are my codes:

Draw the non-uniform heatmap:

const SPECTROGRAM_HEIGHT = 256;
    const SPECTROGRAM_WIDTH = 100;

    const { sciChartSurface, wasmContext } = await SciChartSurface.create("spectrogram-chart-root");

    const xAxis = new NumericAxis(wasmContext, {
        axisTitle: "Frequency",
        axisTitleStyle: {
            fontSize: CHART_STYLE.AXIS_FONT_SIZE,
            fontFamily: "sans-serif",
            fontWeight: "bold"
        },
        labelStyle: {
            fontSize: CHART_STYLE.LABEL_FONT_SIZE,
            fontFamily: "sans-serif"
        },
        labelFormat: ENumericFormat.Decimal,
        labelPrecision: 6,
        cursorLabelFormat: ENumericFormat.Decimal,
        cursorLabelPrecision: 6,
        drawMajorBands: false,
    });

    const yAxis = new NumericAxis(wasmContext, {
        axisTitle: "Time",
        axisTitleStyle: {
            fontSize: CHART_STYLE.AXIS_FONT_SIZE,
            fontFamily: "sans-serif",
            fontWeight: "bold"
        },
        labelStyle: {
            fontSize: CHART_STYLE.LABEL_FONT_SIZE,
            fontFamily: "sans-serif"
        },
        drawMajorBands: false,
    });

    // Add XAxis and YAxis
    sciChartSurface.xAxes.add(xAxis);
    sciChartSurface.yAxes.add(yAxis);

    const colorMap = new HeatmapColorMap({
        minimum: -200,
        maximum: -50,
        gradientStops: [
            { offset: 1, color: COLORS.DARK_RED },
            { offset: 0.8, color: COLORS.RED },
            { offset: 0.6, color: COLORS.YELLOW },
            { offset: 0.5, color: COLORS.GREEN },
            { offset: 0.4, color: COLORS.BLUE },
            { offset: 0.01, color: COLORS.DARK_BLUE },
            { offset: 0, color: "Transparent" },
        ]
    });

    // Create a Heatmap Data-series. Pass heatValues as a number[][] to the UniformHeatmapDataSeries
    zValues = Array.from(Array(SPECTROGRAM_HEIGHT), () => Array(SPECTROGRAM_WIDTH).fill(-200));

    const heatmapSeries = new NonUniformHeatmapRenderableSeries(wasmContext, {
        dataSeries: new NonUniformHeatmapDataSeries(wasmContext, { zValues: zValues, xCellOffsets: getHeatmapXOffset, yCellOffsets: getHeatmapYOffset }),
        colorMap: colorMap,
        useLinearTextureFiltering: true,
        fillValuesOutOfRange: true,
    });

    // Add heatmap to the chart
    sciChartSurface.renderableSeries.add(heatmapSeries);

I simply return the index for testing in the getHeatmapXOffset and getHeatmapYOffset functions:

const getHeatmapXOffset = (index) => {
    return index;
};

const getHeatmapYOffset = (index) => {
    return index;
};

I fill the zValues array with the minimum value -200, but the data displayed in the chart is COLORS.YELLOW. I don’t understand what’s wrong.

We found that when the entered data is wrong and SciChart exception occurs, we can’t get back to normal without F5 reloading.

In our application, when switching the symbol/screen, it will start over from SciChartSurface.create(), but it just cannot return to normal.

If the abnormal data causes scichart exception, what can we do to minimize the damage ?

Here is demo video :

Hi
I am trying out JS SciChart based on the Blazor example you have posted more than a year ago.
I cannot get the auto scaling to work by code (the default behavior does auto scale once right after adding the data). Calling sciChartSurface.zoomExtents(); (or zoomExtentsX() and zoomExtentsY() after one another) does zoom into a very details portion of the graph.

Also (maybe related) the tooltip does not update when moving the cursor around, it always keeps the same data. I tried using CursorModifier as well as RolloverModifier, both having the same problem.

Attached the JS code and the c# files and a picture how this looks like after calling the autoScale() method.

Thanks for any help

Hello, I’d like to know how is possible to draw Axis Bands from one data point to another.

I’m currently creating real-time stock charts and I need to display the after-hours with a different band.

Thanks in advanced for your help,

I updated schichart to the very last version and turn on the memory usage debug mode to see if there are any memory leaks in our application and ran into the following problem.

When MemoryUsageHelper.isMemoryUsageDebugEnabled = true; and sciChartSurface has the following modifiers(RolloverModifier, CursorModifier) when moving the mouse over the chart I have the following console warnings.

From RolloverModifier instance

From CursorModifier instance

The message below is written on your docs about debugging, so I gues this is the case with the chart modifiers console warnings.

Usually this boils down to failing to call SciChartSurface.delete() (or series.delete(), annotation.delete() when adding/removing objects) or plain JavaScript memory leaks where references to SciChart are held in the customer application & not garbage collected by the browser.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Follow the codesandbox example by the link https://codesandbox.io/s/ts-band-chart-xwlxcm?file=/src/App.tsx;
2. Once the chart is loaded and rendered, try moving the mouse cursor over the chart;
3. Open the browser console ⇒ You will see the warnings I wrote about above.

The current behavior

Moving the mouse over the chart causes warning logs to appear in the browser console and possibly memory leaks.

The expected behavior

No warning logs while moving the mouse over the chart.

Remove the white spaces on the chart when we using drawLabels: false. I am using multiple x-axes and no of x-axis increase the empty white space on the x-axis is also increasing.

Multiple instances of sci chart any appearance changes reflecting on other instances. When I changed the background of one instance the same is reflected in the other instance. I have updated with createSingle to resolve this issue, But i am getting one alert when using createSingle.

I have a chart with default majorDelta 10 for y-axis. Users are allowed to change the scale (majorDelta) of the chart. When it’s changed to 0.1, the y-axis labels are gone. The y-axis labels can still be seen when the majorDelta is 0.2. Please check my screenshots for details.

I am trying to implement a waterfall chart with uniform heatmap. The data is updated from the top of the chart and keeps pushing the old data down. I would like to show the y-axis with time. How can I update the y-axis with updated data?

Assume the heatmap is 256 height, I created the zValues array with min value when draw the heatmap:

const SPECTROGRAM_WIDTH = 256; 
const minPower = -200;
spectrogramZValues.current = Array.from(Array(SPECTROGRAM_HEIGHT), () => Array(SPECTROGRAM_WIDTH).fill(minPower));

Update zValues array when new data come:

    spectrogramZValues.current.shift();
        spectrogramZValues.current.push(newData);

When the first data pushed to the chart. There will be one row shown in the axis with timestamp t1. When the second data comes, the top row of the y-axis should be t2 and the t1 is pushed down. When the waterfall chart is filled with 256 data, the bottom of the y-axis should be t1 and the top of the y-axis should be t256. Is it possible to implement this?

Now I am using the uniform heatmap to implement it with yStart=0 and yStep=1. I tried to add the labelProvider to the y-axis to show the timestamp of each row. I am keeping an array locally to store the timestamp of each row which will be updated with the new data. I tried to map this array and return the timestamp in the y-axis labelProvider. But it doesn’t work. The y-axis will not be refreshed when data updated.

        yAxis.labelProvider.formatLabel = (dataValue) => {
        const ts = timestampArray[dataValue];
        if (ts) {
            const timeObj = new Date(ts);
            const hours = ('0' + timeObj.getHours()).slice(-2);
            const minutes = ('0' + timeObj.getMinutes()).slice(-2);
            const seconds = ('0' + timeObj.getSeconds()).slice(-2);
            const milliseconds = ('0' + timeObj.getMilliseconds()).slice(-3);
            return `${hours}:${minutes}:${seconds}.${milliseconds}`;
        } else {
            return "";
        }
    };
