Our Ultra-High Performance JavaScript Charts are now in Beta!

Today we have an exciting announcement to SciChart’s now multi award-winning product line-up: SciChart.js BETA!

Check out what’s available below:

SciChart.js v1.0 Beta

Our best-in-class cross-platform charting library just got better!

SciChart.js is an ultra-realtime JavaScript Chart library, suitable for mission-critical scientific, medical & financial charting applications. It is based on our multi award-winning cross-platform graphics engine, Visual Xccelerator®, and brings you the world’s first JavaScript chart control fully hardware accelerated by WebGL and WebAssembly.

We’ve taken our award-winning cross-platform graphics engine, written in C++, and compiled to WebAssembly. This gives you a consistent experience and ultra-high performance across SciChart’s platforms: WPF (Windows), iOS/macOS, Android and now Web browsers. What’s more, it means that improvements to one platform will show up in the others, increasing our code quality and reducing iteration time.

Multiple Chart Types, including

SciChart’s JavaScript Charts will have the following chart types out of the box:

• JavaScript Line Chart
• JavaScript Scatter Chart

• JavaScript Mountain Chart
• JavaScript Area or Band Chart
• JavaScript Fan Chart
• JavaScript Stacked Column Chart

Extreme real-time performance

For the first time you will be able to render many millions of data-points instantly with a WebAssembly/WebGL powered JavaScript Chart control. Perfect for mission-critical scientific, medical, financial charting applications migrating from native applications to JavaScript/TypeScript, for customers familiar with the SciChart ecosystem, for applications that require real-time updates, or for next-generation line of business apps that have to browse and explore big data-sets.

Tooltips and Legends

We will be supporting a handful of modifiers out of the box for showing tooltips, such as the popular CursorModifier, RolloverModifier and LegendModifier.

Rich zooming and Panning

SciChart.js will be fully interactive, allowing you to configure zooming, panning operations on the chart. Drag an area to zoom in, or Drag to pan. Drag an axis to scale or pan, use the mousewheel, or create your own rich, animated zoom/pan operations with our ChartModifier API.

Per-Point Colouring and Styling

SciChart.js features per-point coloring and styling via the PaletteProvider API. Color individual data-points, add gradient-lines, and have full control over what is rendered by skipping data-points using NaN using our configurable JavaScript Chart library.

Chart Configuration Options

Linking multiple charts, having multiple X,Y axis, rotating charts vertically, all are possible with SciChart.js. We provide multiple configuration options allowing for creation of complex dashboards, visualisations and applications which require composite charts such as creating JavaScript stock-chart applications in financial & trading.

Rich Annotations API

SciChart.js will feature JavaScript Chart annotations out of the box, giving you the ability to add Lines, Text, Shapes, Boxes or rectangles onto the chart. These will move, pan and scale with the chart, or can be positioned absolutely e.g. in the centre of the chart, or top left, bottom right etc…

Styling and Themeing

SciChart.js will ship with a light and a dark theme, but also has the option to create custom themes, or style chart parts entirely in code. Get the look & aesthetic which matches your application style with our powerful, configurable JavaScript Charts.

3D Charts and 3D Engine

The underlying technology to SciChart.js is our award-winning, cross-platform Visual Xccelerator Engine. This powers a next generation of JavaScript charts including interactive 3D Bubble Charts, 3D Point-Clouds, 3D Lidar Visualisation and 3D Surface Mesh plots. Perfect for scientific applications in the browser!
