B4J Library [B4X] [XUI] xChart Class and b4xlib

klaus · Apr 12, 2018

Current version 9.8

A lite version is available: xChartLite.
A mini version is also available: xChartMini.

Learning B4XViews and XUI, I wrote this CustomView xChart Class.
It is an evolution of Erels' Android Charts Framework.

The xChart custom view is a B4X libary.
It works on all three platforms: B4A, B4i and B4J.
The xChart.b4xlib and the xChart.xml files are attached.
You need to copy the xChart.b4xlib file to the AdditionlLibraries\B4X folder!
The recommended AdditionlLibraries folder structure is explained HERE.

Do not copy the xChart.xml file to the AdditionalLibraries folder, copy it in another folder for all b4xlib xml files.
Example: AdditionlLibraries\B4XlibXMLFiles
The xChart.xml file is for help purposes only and is useful with the B4X Help Viewer or the B4XObjectBrowser.
The xChart.xml file was generated with this tool: b4xlib - XML generation

It has automatic scales, linear and logarithmic, automatic text size according to the chart size.
These can also be set manually.

Demo projects for all three platforms as a B4XPages project.
Tested on PC, Android Samsung S10, Samsung Tab S2, iPhone 8 and iPad.
B4XPagesxChartDemoV8_8.zip A B4XPages cross platform project using the xChart library, you need to copy the xChart.b4xlib file into your AdditionalLibraries\B4X folder.
B4JLogScaleV8_8.zip B4J project showing the logarithmic scales, it uses also the xChart library.
xChart.b4xlib The xChart B4X library file. You must copy it into your your AdditionalLibraries\B4X folder.
xChart.xml Help file, it is useful with the B4X Help Viewer or the B4XObjectBrowser.
Don’t copy the xChart.xml file to the AdditionalLibraries folder! Look above.

This image is from the B4JLogScale demo project, there is only a B4J project to show logarithmic scale examples.
The principles are the same for the two other platforms.

4 lines with 4 different scales the same lines with the same scale.

Radar type chart

H_BAR chart type H_STACKED_BAR chart type

The horizontal scale can be either on bottom, default, or on top.
The vertical scale values can go from bottom to top, default, or from top to bottom.

YX_CHART with display of the cursor position.
When the cursor is on a point, the cross-hair color changes to the curve color and a circle is drawn at the point if no points are drawn.

AREA and STACKED_AREA chart

CANDLE chart

WATERFALL chart

BUBBLE chart

Thank you Klaus for your wonderful xChart and also xGauge. I intergrated xChart with xGauge and working good so far.
I wish you had a donation button.

klaus · Sep 19, 2019

Can you please check the attached library?

Scantech · Sep 19, 2019

1.81899E-12 is not showing anymore. That is fixed .

But, Scale(sY).YZeroAxis = True is not fixed. I still see negative Y Text values. See attach. -50 and -100 are shown.

klaus · Sep 19, 2019

Can you please post your project so I can see what exactly happens.

Scantech · Sep 19, 2019

Here you go.
Try both of them AddLinePointData and AddLineMultiplePoints at Sub DrawDynamicLinePoints

klaus · Sep 20, 2019

The xChart class has been updated to version 4.0 in the first post.
Amended the issues reported above, thank you Scantech.

There will never be one. I do it because I have pleasure doing it.

Scantech · Sep 20, 2019

Thanks Klaus. Impressive and working like a charm.

Scantech · Sep 20, 2019

1 final issue. It looks like we did not test the opposite. Plug in Direction = Rnd(-100, -1) in my example. You will see Positive Y text with Scale(sY).YZeroAxis = True

klaus · Sep 21, 2019

You are right.
Amended in the first post.

klaus · Nov 5, 2019

The xChart class has been updated to version 4.2 in the first post.
Amended Draw MinLine with YZeroAxis.
Added PiePercentageNbFractions property

EDIT: You need to open and close the Designer to make the new property active.

You need to open the Designer and close it, because I added a new property.

The Error was solved!
But I can't find PiePercentageNbFractions property in Designer.
How can I setup my data with PiePercentageNbFractions ?
Help me! Thanks.

klaus · Nov 7, 2019

You can change it here:

Or in the code with:

PieChart1.PiePercentageNbFractions = 1

Dear friends,
How to print the xChart snapshot using B4J?

Peter Simpson · Dec 8, 2019

What, to a printer???
You need to use jFXPrint.

Take a snapshot, send that snapshot of the chart and send it to jFXPrint as an image to an ImageView, jFXPrint can then print that ImageView to paper for you. You will have to manually set the ImageView size to print on. I use 730x480 to print on A4 sheets of paper.
