Hi!

I want to create a graph, where vertical line annotations are displayed at each column of a chart. I
have the vertical line annotations created like this:

xaml:

code behind

        statisticsChartAnnotations = new AnnotationCollection();
        Style sliceStyle = App.Current.FindResource("sliceStyle") as Style;
        if (displayedChartSeries.Count > 0)
        {
            foreach (DateTime datapoint in displayedChartSeries[0].DataSeries.XValues)
            {
                VerticalLineAnnotation a = new VerticalLineAnnotation()
                {
                    Style = sliceStyle,
                    X1 = datapoint,
                    IsEnabled = false,
                };
                StatisticsChartAnnotations.Add(a);

            }

        }

But when I display the first chart, the annotations are displayed by an offset from the columns. When i switch to the next chart, the annotations jump to the right positions. I attached a picture of the problem. First charts shows the initial positions.

I already tried refreshing the surface through viewportmanager and dataseries. Is this a known bug? is there any workaround? Is there a way to render the annotations right to the data points?

Thanks,

Hello ,

I have created a SimpleScatterChart3D application using the dll’s from SciChart Official Releases NuGet Feeds (myget) and when i plotted 20 thousand data points to the chart i am getting Access Violation Exception in SciChart.Charting.dll .

Can you please let us know how can i resolve this issue.

Thanks

I’m implementing exporting charts. As part of my export, the user can specify the size of the chart. I’ve managed to get sciChartSurface.ExportToBitmapSource() working fine for single graphs.

However, I’ve got some quite complex layouts, and when I try to render parent controls that contain Scichart controls manually, with say:

ExportUIElement.Measure(size);
ExportUIElement.Arrange(new Rect(size));

 int dpiScaling = 3;
RenderTargetBitmap bmp = new RenderTargetBitmap(Width * dpiScaling, Height * dpiScaling,
                                                                                                           96 * dpiScaling, 96 * dpiScaling,
                                                                                                           PixelFormats.Pbgra32);

I’m finding everything working, the chart layout & axis/labels update and render fine, but the chart content is not re-rendered to the new size, causing some messy/strange visual effects. This one was arranged to a larger size, you can see that the actual chart content is now sitting snugly in the middle of a large margin:

Can I force Scichart to re-render these so I can manually render the component in a different size?

Hi
Is there a way to just change the values of the pie segments so it get updated on the donut chart.
If I remove and add the pie segments again it works, is this the correct way?

Also I can’t find any documentation around the donut for android/xamarin

What is the recommended way to use the same text formatting for both Axis and Annotation labels?

There are two scenarios.

1. When DateTimeAxis automatically change the format

When zooming DatetimeAxis, it automatically changes the text format in the label. For example if XAxis visible range is few seconds, it changes the format as HH:mm:ss. But still the annotation label shows the date. Please see attachement : DatetimeAxisAnnotationLabel.PNG

<sciChart:SciChartSurface.XAxis>
        <sciChart:DateTimeAxis Name="XAxisStartTime" AxisTitle="Start Time"/>
</sciChart:SciChartSurface.XAxis>

1. When XAxis has got a LabelFormatter

If there is a LabelFormatter, what is the recommended way to apply the same formatting for Annotation Label text?
Please see attachement : LabelFormatterAnnotationLabel.PNG (annotation label shows number of milliseconds)

<sciChart:SciChartSurface.XAxis>
<sciChart:NumericAxis Name="XAxisDuration" AxisTitle="Duration" LabelFormatter="{StaticResource TimeDurationAxisFormatter}" AxisMode="Logarithmic" />
</sciChart:SciChartSurface.XAxis>

Thanks!

When I have cursor tooltips enabled, showing the y-values, they display properly until the y-valuse for the 1st series is below the axis y-min. Below the tooltip y-values are showing correctly

If I move the mouse to the left, below 25 Hz, the tooltip disappears as below.
How can I correct this?

Thanks,
Robert

Hello,

As you have already the examples of the EEG -50 channel, Is it possible to set the sensitivity factor for the channels to show the graph.
Basically, this will set the amplitude based on the frequency variation example 7micro volts/millimeter (7microvolts/mm) for each channel. Is there any way we can do it using Scichart, please let us know.

Appreciate your help

Aditya

I got this problem:

Hi, guys

I want to show two renderableSeries on one chart view. These series have common x-axis (SCICategoryDateTimeAxis) and separate y-axes(SCINumericAxis). Only one of y-axis is visible at chart view. Also the data series of visible renderable series updated by scrolling to left or to right. So for displaying on one view i’m using:

[y1Axis setGrowBy: [[SCIDoubleRange alloc] initWithMin:SCIGeneric(0.3) Max:SCIGeneric(0.07)]];
[y2Axis setGrowBy: [[SCIDoubleRange alloc] initWithMin:SCIGeneric(0.0) Max:SCIGeneric(5)]];

So it’s look good at start (Correct_zooming.png). But after some scrolling it decrease axis extents of invisible y-axis (decrease.png).
Or even breaks down (broken.png)

For test i’m using SCIFastOhlcRenderableSeries and SCIHorizontallyStackedColumnsCollection readerable series.
Data series for SCIHorizontallyStackedColumnsCollection is initializated like:

    [volumeSerie1 updateAt:index Y:SCIGeneric(100000 / [multiplier doubleValue])];
    [volumeSerie2 updateAt:index Y:SCIGeneric(500000 / [multiplier doubleValue])];

So can you look at it?
Or what way i should implement this behavior?

Best regards,

Has anybody a solution?

Hi

I have experienced some performance issues when accessing YMin & YMax properties of data series containing lots of NaN’s.

I have a chart with the following setup:

XAxis = DateTime / YAxis = Numeric
1 FastLineRenderableSeries series / XyDataSeries<DateTime, double>

I have prefilled the data series with 1 million datapoints. Some of the values are randomly made NaN’s.

If 1/2 of the Y values are NaN’s – accessing YMin or YMax property takes ~117ms.
If 1/10 of the values are NaN’s it “only” takes ~27 ms.
…and if no NaN’s are added to the data series – it takes ~3ms;

This is a huge problem for us – as we have large data series including lots of NaN’s – and we must access the YMin / YMax each time data is added to do special scale fitting. This is normally once per second – but with up to 20 data series – (117ms * 2 *20 ) it takes over 4 seconds.

If I have 10 million datapoints – it takes 10 times as long – so it looks like it is recalculating the min/max each time.

Hi guys,

I am having difficulties setting the background of my bar chart with SCICategoryDateTime X axis since I switched to 2.0.

As far as I understand, just setting the background property of the SCIChartSurface should suffice.
These are all of the things I’ve tried:

1. [self.barSurface setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
2. [self.barSurfaceView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]]; 
3. self.barSurface.renderableSeriesAreaFill = [[SCISolidBrushStyle alloc] initWithColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
4. [self.barSurface.renderSurface setIsTransparent:YES];

I didn’t find any other way of setting it, but it still remains black. Any thought on what might cause it?

EDIT: I just found out about this color setting:

[axisStyle setGridBandBrush:[[SCISolidBrushStyle alloc] initWithColor:[UIColor whiteColor]]];

The result I got was a black and white chess board, as shown on the attached picture. I really don’t understand this behaviour. If I set this gridBandBrush to nil, columns are coloured with random colours, so the chart looks like a rainbow. I understand why is this happening but shouldn’t there be a default colour in case brush is nil?

EDIT 2: While debugging using “Capture view hierarchy” in XCode I discovered that render surface is actually white inside debugger. Perhaps it will give more insight to you, it doesn’t mean much to me – I guess it’s because rendering is done on GPU and the context is not available to the debugger.

Best,
Igor

We have big trouble with SciChart 6.1. First was the initial loading time. But there is this async loading workaround.
Now if we try to render a simple (not large) signal into the chart, it hangs in the rendering loop. No exception, high CPU usage.
Any solution for this issue?

It works on some, but it fails on most of our PCs/Laptops.

What I need is 2 or more VerticalLineAnnotation which can be placed dynamically to act as cursors, showing the difference in value between the two using MVVM and am struggling where to start.

I have been looking at the thread
https://www.scichart.com/questions/question/editing-annotations-and-keeping-track-of-them-in-an-mvvm-application/
but am a bit clueless to what is happening as I am a beginner to C# and MVVM, and am struggling to understand.

I have firstly tried to change your AnnotationMvvm example to use an observable collection as suggested , so that values can be changes, but I can’t even get this to work, as LabelsSource is being returned as null, I am not sure if I have the dependency property correct.I am also not quite sure how the attach etc is working and will struggle to convert to using VerticalLineAnnotation too.

public static readonly DependencyProperty LabelsSourceProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("LabelsSource", typeof(ObservableCollection<IChartSeriesViewModel>), typeof(CustomAnnotationChartModifier), new PropertyMetadata(null, OnLabelsSourceChanged));

        // Here LabelsSource is IEnumerable, but you could easily make it ObservableCollection<LabelViewModel> 
        // in order to get changed notifications when items are added to, or removed from the collection
        public ObservableCollection<IChartSeriesViewModel> LabelsSource
        {
            get { return (ObservableCollection<IChartSeriesViewModel>)GetValue(LabelsSourceProperty); }
            set { SetValue(LabelsSourceProperty, value); }
        }

        // Get a notification when new labels are set.
        private static void OnLabelsSourceChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            var modifier = (CustomAnnotationChartModifier) d;
            ObservableCollection<IChartSeriesViewModel> newValue = e.NewValue as ObservableCollection<IChartSeriesViewModel>;
            if (newValue == null) return;

modifier.RebuildAnnotations();
}

You say at the end of the thread, you are thinking of doing a good demo on how to do all this, I don’t suppose you could knock me one up using dynamic VerticalLine annotations (MVVM) as above with a display of the difference in the 2 values?

Thanks

Hi !
Is it possible to display the RollOverModifier tooltip on the real points only ? Say I have points (1 1) and (3 3) in my chart and I don’t wan’t the tooltip to display (1.5 1.5), (2 2), (2.5 2.5) etc. when rolling over… Any idea ?

Thank you,

Adrien

We have a motion sensor for which we present a real time graph. As can be seen from the attached image, my YAxis configuration (auto range) causes the yaxis scale to display noise in a way that is rather disturbing (see attached image).
I have tried to do some fiddling with the axis settings, but with no luck so far.
The YAxis perfectly follows the measured data, but when there is practically no motion, the graph should be shown as an almost straight line, preferably not in the upper or lower end of the scale.

I’ve implemented the following ContextMenu:

  <s:SciChartSurface.ContextMenu>
            <ContextMenu>
                <MenuItem x:Name ="header1" Header="Einfügen" Command="{Binding InsertItem}" IsEnabled="{Binding SelectedElementsCount,Converter={StaticResource BoolToOppositeBoolConverter}}" />
                <MenuItem Header="Entfernen" Command="{Binding RemoveItem}" />
                <MenuItem x:Name ="header2" Header="Ändern" Command="{Binding ChangeItem}" IsEnabled="{Binding SelectedElementsCount,Converter={StaticResource BoolToOppositeBoolConverter}}" />
                <MenuItem x:Name ="header3" Header="Verschieben" Command="{Binding ChangeItem}" IsEnabled="{Binding SelectedElementsCount}" />
            </ContextMenu>
        </s:SciChartSurface.ContextMenu>

This still worked, but I have changed the AnnotationsCanvas from the Annotations to AboveChart and the Context Menu doesn’t show if I press the right mouse button:

<s:SciChartSurface.Annotations>

After updating to SciChart 3.1, I started getting the following binding error:

System.Windows.Data Error: 4 : Cannot find source for binding with reference ‘RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType=’Abt.Controls.SciChart.Visuals.SciChartSurfaceBase’, AncestorLevel=’1”. BindingExpression:Path=MaxFrameRate; DataItem=null; target element is ‘HighSpeedRenderSurface’ (Name=”); target property is ‘MaxFramerate’ (type ‘Nullable`1’)

I’m not binding MaxFrameRate anywhere nor do I have a HighSpeedRenderSurface explicitly defined in my code, so I’m guessing this error is occurring somewhere in a SciChart control.

I have several SciChartSurface elements across different controls in my application. I tried setting a global style:

<Style TargetType="{x:Type s:SciChartSurfaceBase}">
    <Setter Property="MaxFrameRate" Value="24"/>
</Style>

This had no effect on the binding error.

Any help would be appreciated since I think these errors are affecting the loading speed of my UI.

I would like to add scroll listener on x axis title. Is it possible to add scroll to axis title

Hello Team,

We are going through the Trial version of Sci Chart and we are specifically interested in 2D Scatter Chart and Simple Scatter Chart 3D.

For 2D Chart we tried to bind up-to 1 Million data points and it worked perfectly and we can zoom in 2D Scatter Chart to view each and every point.

When we tried the same for Simple Scatter Chart 3D, it was competitively slower than 2D Chart.

can we do the same in Simple Scatter Chart 3D?

Currently the whole chart is zooming in. Is there a way so that user can zoom in (XAxis , YAxis ,ZAxis ) individually so that each and every point in the chart can be View-able ?

Thanks,

I downloaded your SciChart trial version. The download placed all you assemblies into:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SciChart\SciChart SDK\Lib\net452

and duplicated the assemblies into:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SciChart\SciChart SDK\Lib\netcoreapp3.0.

Then I download the SciChart examples from GitHub directly into Visual Studio and it created a repository at

C:\Users\Dell\source\repos\SciChart.Wpf.Examples\Examples

Then I tried to compile but the dependencies were not resolved in the project SciChart.Exmaples.ExternalDependencies. I get yellow warning signs next to all your SciChart assemblies (e.g. SciChart.DirectX). Please advise.

Hi,
I am using Scichart android ,for Linking Chart Modifiers of Multiple charts I use these lines of code as shown below but it will not synchronize charts on X axis properley sometimes what is the reason ?
Is there is any other method to do that?
