Readonly scaleScale of the series
Add callback function to be triggered when specified event is fired.
// Example syntax
object.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
console.log(event)
})
Some classes also report extra information about the interacted object with the second parameter:
// Most series share information about interacted data point
series.addEventListener('click', (event, info) => {
console.log(info)
})
Optional third parameter allows registering event handlers that will automatically remove themselves after first trigger:
// Example this listener will only fire once
object.addEventListener('click', (event) => {})
Each class has its own list of supported events.
Some events are from HTML standard (click, pointerdown, etc.),
while others are own events from LightningChart JS (dispose, resize, etc.)
To find what events are available, you can try following:
TypeScript enabled, just write addEventListener and see what possible event types the IDE suggests. These APIs are strongly typed, and even the callback event will be correctly typed.K type parameter extends.Callback function that is triggered when event is fired.
Optional options: LCJSAddEventListenerOptionsOptional extra configuration options.
Attach object to an legendBox entry
Series itself for fluent interface
Object which has to be attached
Flag that indicates whether the Attachable should be hidden or not, when its respective Entry is clicked.
By default, entries are assigned a smooth looking gradient based on the component color. If this flag is true, then this is skipped, and exact component solid fill is used instead.
Clear all previous data pushed to the series.
Object itself for fluent interface.
Permanently destroy the component.
To fully allow Garbage-Collection to free the resources used by the component, make sure to remove any references to the component and its children in application code.
let chart = ...ChartXY()
let axisX = chart.getDefaultAxisX()
// Dispose Chart, and remove all references so that they can be garbage-collected.
chart.dispose()
chart = undefined
axisX = undefined

Introduced in v6.0.0, the state and definition of this API is not finalized. It may change in future versions without regard to backwards compatibility if there is significant cause from user feedback.
Get theme effect enabled on component or disabled.
A theme can specify an Effect to add extra visual oomph to chart applications, like Glow effects around data or other components.
Whether this effect is drawn above a particular component can be configured using the setEffect method.
// Example, disable theme effect from a particular component.
Component.setEffect(false)
For the most part, theme effects are enabled by default on most components.
Theme effect is configured with effect property.
Boolean that describes whether drawing the theme effect is enabled around the component or not.
Get heatmap intensity interpolation mode.
Heatmap intensity interpolation mode selection.
Get boolean flag that is true when a Pointer device is over the chart component.
In order for this method to work, the components pointer event tracking must be enabled (getPointerEvents)
Boolean
Invalidate range of heatmap intensity values starting from first sector and annulus, updating coloring if a Color look up table (LUT) has been attached to the series (see setFillStyle).
// Example, 3x3 grid full invalidation.
const heatmapSeries = PolarChart.addHeatmapSeries({
sectors: 3,
annuli: 3
})
heatmapSeries.invalidateIntensityValues([
// Annulus 0 intensity values.
[0, 0, 0],
// Annulus 1 intensity values.
[1, 1, 1],
// Annulus 2 intensity values.
[0, 2, 0],
])
Data interpretation basis is defined by dataOrder property from when the series was created.
invalidateIntensityValues can trigger warnings when used controversially.
In production applications, these can be controlled with warnings.
Object itself for fluent interface.
Matrix containing intensity values for each data slot of the grid.
Invalidate a partial range of heatmap intensity values, updating coloring if a Color look up table (LUT) has been attached to the series (see setFillStyle).
// Example, 100x10 grid invalidate partial section of grid.
const heatmapSeries = PolarChart.addHeatmapSeries({
sectors: 100,
annuli: 10
})
heatmapSeries.invalidateIntensityValues({
// Index of first invalidated annulus.
iAnnulus: 5,
// Index of first invalidated sector.
iSector: 10,
// Intensity values matrix. It's dimensions imply the amount of invalidated sectors and annuli.
values: [
// 1st invalidated annuli intensity values.
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1],
// 2nd invalidated annuli intensity values.
[2, 2, 2, 2, 2],
// 3rd invalidated annuli intensity values.
[1, 0, 0, 0, 1],
// 4th invalidated annuli intensity values.
[0, 1, 0, 1, 0],
// 5th invalidated annuli intensity values.
[0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
],
})
invalidateIntensityValues can trigger warnings when used controversially.
In production applications, these can be controlled with warnings.
Object itself for fluent interface.
Partial invalidation information, where values is an intensity value matrix, iSector the first affected sector and iAnnulus the first affected annulus.
Remove event listener added using addEventListener.
The expected argument should be the exact same callback function that was supplied using addEventListener:
// Basic example syntax
const listener = () => {}
obj.addEventListener('click', listener)
obj.removeEventListener('click', listener)
// Basic boilerplate of custom interaction when user drags on an object
obj.addEventListener('pointerdown', (eventDown) => {
let prevCoord = eventDown
const handlePointerMove: LCJSInteractionEventListener<'pointermove'> = (eventMove) => {
const delta = { x: eventMove.clientX - prevCoord.clientX, y: eventMove.clientY - prevCoord.clientY }
prevCoord = eventMove
console.log(delta, eventMove.clientX, eventMove.clientY)
}
const handlePointerUp: LCJSInteractionEventListener<'pointerup'> = (eventUp) => {
window.removeEventListener('pointermove', handlePointerMove)
window.removeEventListener('pointerup', handlePointerUp)
}
window.addEventListener('pointermove', handlePointerMove)
window.addEventListener('pointerup', handlePointerUp)
})

Set component highlight animations enabled or not. For most components this is enabled by default.
// Example usage, disable highlight animations.
component.setAnimationHighlight(false)
Object itself
Animation enabled?
Set whether series is taken into account with automatic scrolling and fitting of attached axes.
By default, this is true for all series.
By setting this to false, any series can be removed from axis scrolling/fitting.
// Example syntax, remove series from automatic scrolling / fitting.
LineSeries.setAutoScrollingEnabled(false)
Object itself for fluent interface.
true default, axes will take series into account in scrolling and fitting operations.
false, axes will ignore series boundaries.
Configure whether cursors should pick on this particular series or not.
// Example, prevent chart auto cursor from snapping to a series.
LineSeries.setCursorEnabled(false)

Beta
Set override behavior for when this series is formatted to be displayed by a cursor. This can be used to alter and expand on cursor formatting done for a specific series, either by the library's default cursor formatters or even the users own cursor formatters defined on chart level.
// Example syntax, add extra row to display a custom data property
series.setCursorFormattingOverride((hit, before) => {
if (!isHitSampleXY(hit)) return before
const customPropertyValue = data[hit.iSample].customProperty
return [...before, ['ASD', '', customPropertyValue.toFixed(3)]]
})
To use this with users own cursor formatters, you can use useCursorFormatterSeriesOverride:
// Example syntax, define custom cursor formatting with support for series overrides
chart.setCursorFormatting((_, __, hits) => {
return [
[hits[0].axisX.formatValue(hits[0].x)],
...hits.map((hit) => useCursorFormatterSeriesOverride(hit, [['Y:', '', hit.axisY.formatValue(hit.y)]])).flat(),
]
})

Series for visualizing a Polar Heatmap with a static sector and annuli count. Has API for fast modification of cell values.
PolarHeatmapSeriesis optimized for high resolution data. For example, 1 degree precision or less along Radial Axis, and up to more than 2000 samples along Amplitude Axis. There is no hard cap on how much data you can put into a polar heatmap, the limit is the running device's GPU memory. Generally several million data points are no problem.Created with addHeatmapSeries.
