Issues about SfChart & SfChart3D

[Mark Li]

Hi Syncfusion,

About SfChart I have two questions:

1.How do I display the ChartToolBar control when I use SfChart? 

2.When I use the SfChart3D control, the IDE prompts " ' SfChart3D 'does not exist in the namespace' clr-namespace: Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Charts; assembly = Syncfusion.SfChart.WPF ' ".Which component should be referenced when I use the SfChart3D control?

I wrote a Demo as an attachment.

Thanks,

Mark Li

Hi Mark, 

  

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support. 

  

Query 1: How do I display the ChartToolBar control when I use SfChart?  

  

Currently, we don’t have ChartToolBar support in SfChart. We have already considered this as feature and have logged feature report for this. The feature can be tracked through our Feature Management System, 

  

Link: https://www.syncfusion.com/support/directtrac/features/UWP-5139 

  

This feature will be implemented in any of our upcoming releases. 

  

However, we have achieved this requirement by using the ContextMenu property of the chart and added requirement function as shown in the below code snippet, 

<chart:SfChart > 

     <ContextMenu > 

         <MenuItem Header="Legend"> 

             <MenuItem Header="DockPosition"> 

                  <MenuItem Name="top" Header="Top" Click="top_Click"/> 

                  <MenuItem Name="bottom" Header="Bottom" Click="top_Click"/> 

                  <MenuItem Name="left" Header="Left" Click="top_Click"/> 

                  <MenuItem Name="right" Header="Right" Click="top_Click"/> 

             </MenuItem> 

             <MenuItem Header="CheckBoxVisibility"> 

               <MenuItem Name="chkBoxVisible" Header="Visible" Click="top_Click"/> 

               <MenuItem Name="chkBoxCollapse" Header="Collapsed" Click="top_Click"/> 

              </MenuItem> 

           </MenuItem> 

         <MenuItem Header="Palette" Name="palette"  > 

            <MenuItem Header="Metro" Name="metro" Click="top_Click"/> 

             <MenuItem Header="AutumnBrights" Name="autumn" Click="top_Click"/> 

             <MenuItem Header="FloraHues" Name="flora" Click="top_Click"/> 

             <MenuItem Header="PineApple" Name="pine" Click="top_Click"/> 

             <MenuItem Header="Elite" Name="elite" Click="top_Click"/> 

             <MenuItem Header="SandyBeach" Name="sandy" Click="top_Click"/> 

             <MenuItem Header="LightCandy" Name="light" Click="top_Click"/> 

        </MenuItem> 

         <MenuItem Header="Print" Name="print" Click="top_Click"/> 

         <MenuItem Header="Save" Name="Save" Click="top_Click"/> 

         <MenuItem Header="CrossHairBehavior"  Name="enableCrossHair" 

                                  Click="top_Click"> 

       </MenuItem> 

     </ContextMenu> 

  </chart:SfChart.ContextMenu> 

  </chart:SfChart> 

 

 

 

C# 

    private void top_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) 

        { 

            var header = (e.OriginalSource as MenuItem).Header.ToString(); 

            switch(header) 

            { 

                case "Top": 

                    (mainChart.Legend as sfchart.ChartLegend).DockPosition = sfchart.ChartDock.Top; 

                    break; 

                case "Bottom": 

                    (mainChart.Legend as sfchart.ChartLegend).DockPosition = sfchart.ChartDock.Bottom; 

                    break; 

                case "Left": 

                    (mainChart.Legend as sfchart.ChartLegend).DockPosition = sfchart.ChartDock.Left; 

                    break; 

                case "Right": 

                    (mainChart.Legend as sfchart.ChartLegend).DockPosition = sfchart.ChartDock.Right; 

                    break; 

                case "Visible": 

                    (mainChart.Legend as sfchart.ChartLegend).CheckBoxVisibility = Visibility.Visible; 

                    break; 

                case "Collapsed": 

                    (mainChart.Legend as sfchart.ChartLegend).CheckBoxVisibility = Visibility.Collapsed; 

                    break; 

                case "Metro": 

                    mainChart.Palette = sfchart.ChartColorPalette.Metro; 

                   break; 

                case "AutumnBrights": 

                    mainChart.Palette = sfchart.ChartColorPalette.AutumnBrights; 

                    break; 

                case "FloraHues": 

                    mainChart.Palette = sfchart.ChartColorPalette.FloraHues; 

                    break; 

                case "PineApple": 

                    mainChart.Palette = sfchart.ChartColorPalette.Pineapple; 

                    break; 

                case "Elite": 

                    mainChart.Palette = sfchart.ChartColorPalette.Elite; 

                    break; 

                case "SandyBeach": 

                    mainChart.Palette = sfchart.ChartColorPalette.SandyBeach; 

                    break; 

                case "LightCandy": 

                    mainChart.Palette = sfchart.ChartColorPalette.LightCandy; 

                    break; 

                case "Print": 

                    mainChart.Print(); 

                    break; 

                case "Save": 

                    mainChart.Save("chart.png"); 

                    break; 

                case "CrossHairBehavior": 

                    { 

                        mainChart.Behaviors.Add(new sfchart.ChartCrossHairBehavior()); 

                        mainChart.PrimaryAxis.ShowTrackBallInfo = true; 

                        mainChart.SecondaryAxis.ShowTrackBallInfo = true; 

                    }                

                    break; 

                default: 

                    break; 

            } 

        } 

  

Please find the output image, 

 

  

We have modified the provided sample and it can be downloaded from below link, 

Sample: SfChartDemo 

  

Query 2: ' SfChart3D 'does not exist in the namespace 

  

We are unable to reproduce the reported problem with the provided sample. 

However, we would like to inform you that, we have added SfChart and classic chart’s namespace in http://schemas.syncfusion.com/wpf schema namespace. So, when we add both chart assemblies in same application, then some chart objects will be conflicted. Because, those objects have same name in both charts (SfChart & Classic chart). 

  

To use both chart in single application, we must use control specific namespace as shown in below. 

  

SfChart:  

xmlns:sfchart="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Charts;assembly=Syncfusion.SfChart.WPF" 

  

Classic Chart:  

xmlns:chart="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Windows.Chart;assembly=Syncfusion.Chart.Wpf"
