FastColumnBitmapSeries on SfChart.XForms?

[Benjamin]

Hey there,

we are currently struggling with showing lots of charts containing ColumnSeries, especially on UWP.
Apparently, you have already implemented a "fast" version of ColumnSeries, called FastColumnBitmapSeries, on other platforms.
Any chance you may port that to your XForms library?

Cheers

Hi Benjamin, 

 

Thanks for using Syncfusion products.  

 

We have analyzed your query and we would like to inform you that SfChart renders column series in Android and iOS as FastColumn series by default  

 

For UWP you can able to achieve your requirement (FastColumnBitmapSeries) using custom render. We have prepared a sample based on this. Please find the sample from the following location.  

 

Sample: 138607
 

 

In the sample we have rendered over 10,000 data on a column series and it is rendering fine. 

 

Note: Please refer CustomRenderer.cs file in UWP specific project for custom renderer implementation.  

 

Thanks, 

Michael

Hi Michael,

this works, thanks a lot!

Are there any pitfalls when using this, that I should know about? I mean, after all there has got to be a reason you did not enable it by default yet, on UWP.

Best regards

Hi Benjamin, 

 

Glad we could help, No, there are no pitfalls using this, all the behaviors in chart should work as expected. The reason we didn’t enable this is in UWP as default is because we have mapped our Xamarin PCL SfChart with the already available SfChart in UWP. In UWP there are two types of Column series and one is the default series, and another is the "FastColumnBitmapSeries", since we are mapping the PCL with existing UWP chart we mapped this with the default "Column" series. And thus, we have provided the FastColumnBitmap in Custom Renderer 

 

Let us know if you need further assistance on this. 

 

Thanks, 

Michael
