Charts and Graphs for unity3d [Released]

I'm also interesting in your answer to @Colin_MacLeod about clipping. Can you share the way to avoid it ?

 

Hi
Just a quick question, is there an easy way to enforce the y axis to represent only whole number? grabbing an image just of the asset store for example.

would be having this as 8/5/3/0 or something similar?

Thanks for any help

 

I am also facing the same issue. My Vuforia AR Camera Not able to render the text (Group, Category labels). it only showing 3D Bar chart. Please let me know how to fix this. below i attached the screenshot of output.

 

Downloaded and imported this into my current project just now and was immediately greeted with an error regarding file:

Assets/Chart And Graph/Resources/Chart And Graph/TextContorller/TextControllerCanvas.prefab

Error:

Code (CSharp):

1. ArgumentException: Could not load Prefab contents at path Assets/Chart And Graph/Resources/Chart And Graph/TextContorller/TextControllerCanvas.prefab. Prefabs should have exactly 1 root GameObject, 0 was found.
2. UnityEditor.PrefabUtility.LoadPrefabContents (System.String assetPath) (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Mono/Prefabs/PrefabUtility.cs:1822)

5. UnityEditor.EditorApplication.Internal_CallDelayFunctions () (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Mono/EditorApplication.cs:322)

This is not currently a blocker in my experience as of yet, so just wanted to make sure it got reported.

 

Looks like the support/documentation web page is currently down.

 

Yeah I tried to look at some tutorials and it seems like the webpage account is suspended.

 

I'm setting some Y Axis labels manually like so:

// Add Y Axis Labels for Range data
foreach (var range in RangesList)
{
string RangeYValueString = range.MinHeight == Double.PositiveInfinity ? "100 %" : range.MinHeight.ToString() + "%";
Graph.VerticalValueToStringMap[range.MinHeight] = RangeYValueString;
}

But it does not work.

range.MinHeight is a double. The string is built correctly, e.g "56.6%"

This loop is withing a larger method UpdateGraphData(), which is called like so:
Graph.DataSource.StartBatch();
UpdateGraphData();
Graph.DataSource.EndBatch();

Does anyone know why this is failing for me? Is it to do with the timing of when I called line `Graph.VerticalValueToStringMap[range.MinHeight] = RangeYValueString;`?

The graph I have updates every second, calling UpdateGraphData() each time.

Thanks for any help in advance.

 

Is it possible to have two categories, one bound to left y axis and the second category bound to right y axis?

 

Hi all hope this does not fall on silent ears but I've been having trouble "Converting between chart space and world space". I am currently working on a bar chart and i'm trying to get the top position, or really any position from the bar. I have tried just about every method and done numerous checks on the names of my categories and Groups. But have failed to get GetBarTrackPosition(), GetBarBottomPosition(), or PointToWorldSpace() to work in any capacity. Here is the code I have written

Code (CSharp):

1. public void Run()
2.     {
3.         bar.DataSource.StartBatch();
4.         bar.DataSource.ClearValues();
5.  
6.         int[] barValues;
7.         barValues = new int[10];
8.  
9.         var barChart = bar.GetComponent<BarChart>();
10.  
11.         for (int i = 0; i < barValues.Length; i++)
12.         {
13.             barValues[i] = UnityEngine.Random.Range(1, 30);
14.  
15.             string categoryName = (2011 + i).ToString();
16.             barChart.DataSource.SetValue(categoryName, "Values", barValues[i]);
17.  
18.             float animationTime = 1.0f; // one second;
19.             barChart.DataSource.SlideValue(categoryName, "Values", barValues[i], animationTime);
20.         }
21.  
22.         bar.DataSource.EndBatch();
23.  
24.         meanCalculate(barValues);
25.     }
26.     public void meanCalculate(int[] values)
27.     {
28.         float mean = 0;
29.         int sum = 0;
30.  
31.         for (int x = 0; x < values.Length; x++)
32.         //sums up all the values
33.         {
34.             Debug.Log("value " + x.ToString() + ": " + values[x]);
35.             sum += values[x];
36.         }
37.  
38.         mean = sum / values.Length;
39.         Debug.Log("mean: " + mean);
40.         //calculates the mean
41.  
42.         var nearest = values.Aggregate((current, next) => Math.Abs((long)current - mean) < Math.Abs((long)next - mean) ? current : next);
43.         Debug.Log("nearest: " + nearest);
44.         int index = Array.IndexOf(values, nearest);
45.         Debug.Log("Index: " + index);
46.         string indexCategory = (2011+index).ToString();
47.         Debug.Log("Index Category: " + indexCategory + "'");
48.         //finds the closest value in the array to the mean at that index
49.        
50.         Vector3 bottomPosition;
51.  
52.         Debug.Log(bar.DataSource.GetCategoryName(index));
53.         Debug.Log(bar.DataSource.GetGroupName(0));
54.  
55.         if (bar.GetBarBottomPosition(indexCategory, "Values", out bottomPosition))
56.         {
57.             meanPos = bottomPosition;
58.             meanFullPos = bottomPosition;
59.  
60.             Debug.Log("Top Position: " + bottomPosition);
61.             //topPosition now contains the top position of the bar
62.         }
63.         else
64.         {
65.             Debug.Log("FAILED, category at index:" + bar.DataSource.GetCategoryName(index) + " ");
66.         }
67.  
68.     }

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated because I have spent hours and hours trying to get this to work lol. Also provided is my graph settings in images

 

Hi and thanks for the asset. Got it working really fast in my project.

One thing bothers me though. Can you assign a lines color only with a material? So if I want to display 37 lines in a diagram, do I need to prepare 37 materials or is there a way to automatically have randomly different line colors?

 

Thank you for creating a great chart plugin!

Do you know how the values of the item labels can be changed? Some of the values overlap, so I would like to change, for example, 158302 to 158k. Being able to access these to format the values with commas (i.e. Change 158302 to 158,302) would also be helpful.

Code (CSharp):

1. //DayChart.GetComponent<ItemLabels>().TextFormat.Suffix = "k";
2. DayChart.GetComponent<ItemLabels>().Text[i] = Math.Round(ItemLabelValue / 1000, 0).ToString() + "k";

 

does this asset support import / export the data into a csv? i want to create something like this shown in the following video that will export into a formatted text file.

first questions:
1) how to change the vertical axis to -100 to 100
2) how to change horizontal axis 0 to 100
3) how to click and drag data points in the chart and then have this data change saved?

the chart is show at 45 seconds in.

 

I got an issue when running on android. The same code runs on Windows without issue. But then I run it on Andriod, the axes are misaligned. Is there any way to adjust it? Please see the screenshot attached. The Y axis shifted right and up to the middle of the graph and x axis moved to start from the middle as well

 

Hello, I'm using basic graph chart, like from the examples and I'm having trouble with adjusting the "point size" setting under Data categories. The setting does not seem to do anything as is, so I took a look at the code and it seems ProcesssPoint(... on the line 486 in CanvasLines.cs is overwriting the point size setting(ver. 1.91). Or am I missing something here?

 

Hello, I hope that you are all fine!

I've got a problem: I want to disable a category from script with the method DataSource.SetCategoryEnabled() that is explained in the documentation... But I receive this error that says "Error CS1061 'GraphData does not contain a definition for SetCateogryEnabled()'". I already create a variable that reference to the GraphChart that I am using.

Is the method no longer supported or am I doing something wrong?

Sorry for my english. Any help is welcome! Thanks

 

make sure to write the correct method name, the one you wrote is not correct : SetCateogryEnabled

 

Hi, thank you so much for your reply!

I misspelled that, but in my script I have the method well written and the error remains the same. I'll keep looking and if I find something I'll leave it here.

One last question: is there a way to shade an area between 2 lines of the Graph Chart?

 

you can use graph fill for that purpose. feel free to contact support at support@bitsplash.io

 

Hi,

I’m trying to animate the World Space Pie Chart – Angle span property with the Animator but it doesn’t animate the pie chart properly.


Looks like it’s not being redrawn properly when using the Animator. Your script is working and manually changing the value works but not when going through the animator.


Also, unrelated question, should I use the option that says “VR space Text” and “VR Space Scale” if I’m using ARfoundation and I’m working on a mobile app?

Thank you

 

Hi there. Love the asset (especially the Playmaker actions. Thank you!)

Is there a list of files I can safely remove from the asset prior to build?

I'm using one simple 2D bar graph in my build, but included in the build are over 300 chart assets.

None of them are very big, but they add up, and many seem unrelated to the chart I'm using.

I'm trying to target asset folders that I can delete, but it's tricky. Any guidance would be appreciated.

 

Hi, thank you for the awesome asset, bought it recently!
I have couple questions:
– is there a way to build gauge charts, like this ?
– is it be possible somehow to design bezier curved radar chart, similar to this one ?
Any help?

 

Hm. I was considering buying this asset because it looks amazing.
But now I see the author does not reply to customers for more than a month. Alas. No matter how awesome an asset is, unless it's just images/music/animations it needs support.

 

Hes a pretty active developer. I wouldn't say support is his highest strength though.
Ive gotten support from him for for 2 years now on and off.

The asset is pretty easy to use too. Could be better though. The over all code isn't smart enough on the back end. Which causes the user needing to adjust settings perfectly.
The best graph asset I ever used was a javascript one for web. called linegraph.js
This is the only graph asset I have tried. Mostly cause who wants to buy more than one lmao.
In which i may still buy others to try.

Over all If i was you. I would still buy it.

 

hi
Hi there, Unity should not deploy unused assets into your build. Only the assets of the resources folder. If you are still having issues contact me at support@bitsplash.io

 

These are currently not supported

 

Hello, For some reason i did not get notifications for unity about posts on the forum. However i recommend contacting me via support@bitsplash.io I will respond ASAP

 

Hi Support,

Thanks for this superb asset! I got 2 questions:

- Is it possible to specify margins so that horizontal titles get contained? Here is what I've got:



And this is what I'm aiming for:



- I also want to develop the ability to change the timeframe, which is on the X Axis, i.e switching between Last 7 days/Last 30 days / All time.

For the "last 7 days", I want to display days (Monday, Tuesday, etc.)
For the "last 30 days", I want to display dates (07/08, 07/09, etc.)
For the "all time", I want to display years or month depending of existing values (2017, 2018, 2019, or Jan, Feb, Mar...)

I've seen that there is a method dedicated to the formatting:

Code (CSharp):

1. public static string DateToDateString(DateTime dateTime)
2.         {
3.             return dateTime.ToString("ddd");
4.         }

Is there a way to have different formatting?

Thanks a lot,

 

Hi, it seems your documentation website has expired - and so we cant get at the docs.

 

regarding the formatting , you could do
Graph.CustomDateTimeFormat = <C# format>

regarding the other issue , please contact me at support@bitsplash.io , i'll see if i can make a patch for them.

 

Unable to create prefep. Tell me how to make it.

 

please contact me on support@bitsplash.io and elaborate on the issue.

 

hello there
I have two questions regarding the basic bar chart
1) is there a way to get a 0 line when using automatic min and max values i.e. i want to show - figures and + figures but i also want ground zero..
2) ia there a way to programatically turn off the on hover animation...

 

Hi there.

1) you can add a traker line on point 0 . see the marker tutorial folder for more infomration.
2) Yes , you can set the hover prefab to null in the category settings.

if you need any further assistance, it is best to contact me on support@bitsplash.io

 

A recent (unfairly negative) review of this asset got me thinking. For anyone else experiencing importing issues, unexpected conflicts and errors, it could be you're importing an ancient version fo the asset, despite being updated to the newest one. It seems to stem from a change in the name of Asset Store publisher folder in UserData.

I've owned your asset for quite a few years and the asset being imported was actually stored in a folder (in AppData/Roaming/Unity etc...) called ProActive (if I remember correctly). Inside this folder was a version dated 2018. Despite me downloading the latest 1.94 update multiple times, Unity kept importing the 2018 version. I could see the BitSlpash folder, and see it was the correct version, but it refused to import the correct one.

Obviously, you do not need to rely on the Unity Package Importer. You can double click the correct asset from the folder, or import it manually from the Asset directory in Unity.

I have solved the problem and can see, to my delight, a very handy Playmaker set of actions contained in the 1.94 version.

 

An error occurs after import in the Package Manager . Why is this?

Assets\Graph And Chart - Lite Edition\Script\CustomChartPointer.cs(46,30): error CS0115: 'CustomChartPointer.Raycast(Vector2, Camera)': no suitable method found to override

 

make sure to import the unity ui package.

 

Hi,

I am using your product for oculus quest 2. It is a real good asset. I am trying to use oculus quest 2 controller component XR ray interactor to hover over the graph points to see the label just like with a mouse pointer. I tried to add an interactor event under On Hover Enter (under XR Ray Interactor). Added an event with Line Hover prefab and selected "ChartItemGrowEffect.Grow()" function. But it in doing nothing in the VR. Similarly, added another event with Point Hover prefab - "ChartItemGrowEffect.Grow()". Can anyone help??

Thanks!

 

Hi there,

Try adding a CustomChartPointer component to your chart. If you are still having issues , please contact me at support@bitsplash.io

 

I am very interested in this plugin.
I need to make a chart and print it on a printer. Is it possible to print long charts that exceed the screen size?

 

Graph and Chart does not contain any features regarding the printing of charts. It will be up to you to use unity api to enable this. the charts themselves can be created at the width you specify , regardless if they fit into the screen or not.

 

Is it possible to have the graphs be shown in existing game scenes (like a Picture-In-Picture kind of thing ) as opposed to just having the graphs in their own scene?

 

Of course. You can do that view the graph and chart context menu , or by copying the chart from a premade scene into your own scene. 2d charts can be on a world space canvas , allowing you to place them in 3d scenes.

 

Hi,
I've been using your product with great succes so far. But have been running in a couple of issues:

1. When a graph is added to a canvas scrollrect it always shows even when its scrolled outside of the content container. is there a fix for this or could you point me in the direction where this could be changed so it works properly?

2.When adding more then 5418 data entries the mesh becomes too large for unity to handle. (Greater than the 65k vertex limit). Is this fixable as well?

 

Please contact me at support@bitsplash.io

 

@BitsplashIO I think there's a problem with the the website right now because it's not accessible http://bitsplash.io/graph-and-chart

 

Thank you. The problem should now be resolved.

 

Hey, I'm loading points from a file.
How Can I edit the Numbers in the axis label to be only numbers without integers?

 

please contact me on support@bitsplash.io and elaborate on what you are trying to do.

 

Hi @BitsplashIO

I wrote an email for some questions, there are more as others might looking for the same answers:


1- Changing the ChartDateUtility.cs seems like a bad idea, especially when i want to use different charts with different date time format. Ideally we should have a Label format callback so we can display each chat label differently
Reason is, my chart will be showing either data in years or months, and i want to format label accordingly.
So please provide something Func<DateTime, string> CustomDateFormat etc


2- There is no way to change color of "point material" on runtime. I tried changing it myself but following didnt work

Code (CSharp):

1.         public void SetCategoryPointColor(string category, Color color)
2.         {
3.          
4.             CategoryData data = (CategoryData)mData[category];
5.  
6.             var material = data.PointMaterial;
7.             material.color = color;
8.          
9.             data.PointMaterial = material;
10.          
11.             RaiseDataChanged();
12.         }
13.        

3- Similarly, i want to change colors of ItemLabels, and labels on both axis on "runtime".
This is also doesnt seem to be possible.



How can i do that?


Hope to see prompt response.
Regards

 

Question 4:

If i set just one data point, for a non scrolling non pannable graph chart, why it horizontal axis start from zero to 1970


?
