Trackball - Label displaying value from Y & X axis?

[Ian Jones]

Does anyone know if its possible to display in the trackball label the formatted value for a data point AND the formatted value from the date/time (x) axis?

Thanks.

Hi Ian Jones,

Thanks for using Syncfusion product,

We had prepared a sample based on your requirement with help of trackball template property in ChartSeries and it can be download from the following location.

Lakshmi,

Thanks for the sample.

I should have mentioned that the Xam.Forms project is in c#, not XAML.

I've got an existing app running with medical data on charts and the trackball all working.

If I try :-

lineSeries1.TrackballLabelTemplate = new DataTemplate(() =>

{

var lblData = new Label() { Text = "Hello" };

return new ViewCell { View = lblData };

});

expecting the DataTemplate to fire as required (similar to ListView DataTemplate), it never does.

The built in data label always displays, never the one from the DataTemplate.

Is there anything else I'm missing in the Trackball line to get the data template working?

Current code looks like :-

var trackballBehavior = new ChartTrackballBehavior();

trackballBehavior.ShowLabel = true;

trackballBehavior.ShowLine = true;

trackballBehavior.LineStyle.StrokeDashArray = new double[2] { 2, 3 };

chart.ChartBehaviors.Add(trackballBehavior);

Regards,

Ian

Hi Ian,

We have checked your code snippet and found that you have added ViewCell in trackball template. ViewCell is not needed in trackball template. So you have to just directly add view to the template. We have included the code snippet for your reference.

Code snippet:

lineSeries.TrackballLabelTemplate = new DataTemplate(() =>
{
var grid = new Grid();
var label1 = new Label();
var label2 = new Label();
label1.SetBinding(Label.TextProperty, "XValue",stringFormat:"{0:MMM dd}");
label2.SetBinding(Label.TextProperty, "YValue" ,stringFormat:"{0:C}");
grid.Children.Add(label1);
grid.Children.Add(label2, 0, 1);
return grid;
});

Lakshmi,

I've tried the provided sample, and still no joy.

I simplified it to just return a basic text based label, 

lineSeries1.TrackballLabelTemplate = new DataTemplate(() =>

{

return new Label() { Text = "Hello" };

});

and still nothing!

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ian

Lakshmi,

Apologies, I've been able to clarify further.

Interestingly the iOS graph is the one not working, while the Android one works perfectly - normally the other way round in my experience!

See attached screen shots.

The page is fully Xamarin Forms, with no special compiler directives etc (i.e. exactly same code for iOS and Android).

Hope this helps?

Regards,

Ian
