Blank display of SurfaceMeshSeries3D

Post by Krunal.iFour » Tue Aug 02, 2016 8:05 am

Hi, I have implemented following code with version 7.0.2.4001, and its working fine.

Code: Select all

public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        private LightningChartUltimate _mChart3D = null;
        private SurfaceMeshSeries3D _mSurfaceMeshSeries3D = null;

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            CreateChart();
        }

        private void CreateChart()
        {
            _mChart3D = new LightningChartUltimate();
            _mChart3D.BeginUpdate();
            _mChart3D.Parent = panel1;
            _mChart3D.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
            _mChart3D.ActiveView = ActiveView.View3D;

            _mChart3D.View3D.Camera.RotationY = 60;
            _mChart3D.View3D.Camera.ViewDistance = 200;
            _mChart3D.View3D.ClipContents = true;
            _mChart3D.View3D.WallOnBack.Visible = false;
            _mChart3D.View3D.WallOnLeft.Visible = false;
            _mChart3D.View3D.WallOnRight.Visible = false;
            _mChart3D.View3D.WallOnTop.Visible = false;
            _mChart3D.View3D.WallOnFront.Visible = false;
            _mChart3D.View3D.WallOnBottom.Visible = true;

            _mSurfaceMeshSeries3D = new SurfaceMeshSeries3D(_mChart3D.View3D, Axis3DBinding.Primary, Axis3DBinding.Primary, Axis3DBinding.Primary)
            {
                ContourLineType = ContourLineType3D.None,
                ContourLineWidth = 0,
                TraceMouseCell = false,
                MouseInteraction = false,
                MouseHighlight = MouseOverHighlight.None,
                ColorSaturation = 100,
                SuppressLighting = true,
                Fill = SurfaceFillStyle.PalettedByY,
                WireframeType = SurfaceWireframeType.None
            };

            _mChart3D.View3D.SurfaceGridSeries3D.Clear();
            _mChart3D.View3D.SurfaceMeshSeries3D.Add(_mSurfaceMeshSeries3D);

            var iColumnCount = 150;       // Working if value is <= 143
            var iRowCount = 33323;

            var minXIndex = 0;
            var maxXIndex = iColumnCount;
            var minYIndex = -205;
            var maxYIndex = 2000;
            var minZIndex = 0;
            var maxZIndex = iRowCount;

            _mSurfaceMeshSeries3D.Data = null;
            _mSurfaceMeshSeries3D.SizeX = iColumnCount;
            _mSurfaceMeshSeries3D.SizeZ = iRowCount;

            float yValue = 10;
            var flag = true;

            for (int iCol = 0; iCol < iColumnCount; iCol++)
            {
                for (int iRow = 0; iRow < iRowCount; iRow++)
                {
                    if (_mSurfaceMeshSeries3D.Data != null)
                    {
                        if (yValue > 2000) flag = true;
                        else if (yValue < -205) flag = false;
                        if (flag) yValue = (float) (yValue - 0.01);
                        else yValue = (float)(yValue + 0.01);

                        _mSurfaceMeshSeries3D.Data[iCol, iRow].Y = yValue;
                        _mSurfaceMeshSeries3D.Data[iCol, iRow].X = iCol;
                        _mSurfaceMeshSeries3D.Data[iCol, iRow].Z = iRow;
                    }
                }
            }

            _mChart3D.View3D.XAxisPrimary3D.SetRange(minXIndex, maxXIndex);
            _mChart3D.View3D.YAxisPrimary3D.SetRange(minYIndex, maxYIndex);
            _mChart3D.View3D.ZAxisPrimary3D.SetRange(minZIndex, maxZIndex);

            var palette = new ValueRangePalette(_mSurfaceMeshSeries3D);
            palette.Steps.Clear();
            palette.MinValue = 0;
            palette.Type = PaletteType.Gradient;
            palette.Steps.Add(new PaletteStep(palette, Color.Blue, 10));
            palette.Steps.Add(new PaletteStep(palette, Color.Green, 500));
            palette.Steps.Add(new PaletteStep(palette, Color.Yellow, 1000));
            palette.Steps.Add(new PaletteStep(palette, Color.Red, 1500));
            //and set to mesh
            _mSurfaceMeshSeries3D.ContourPalette = palette;

            _mChart3D.EndUpdate();

        }
    }
Now I have updated LightningChart Ultimate version to 7.1.1 and its stops working.
When I set iColumnCount (defined in sample code) variable to <= 143 then it will displayed 3d chart but If I set iColumnCount variable to > 143 then blank chart displayed with new version(7.1.1)

I need to set iColumnCount more then 200.What changes can be done with current code for fixed this issue?

Thanks

Hello.

In 7.1 we added Value-based coloring in surface series. It means we had to add Value field in SurfacePoint structure. It leads to slightly bigger memory consumption. Please compile & run your app in 64-bit mode and let us know if solves the problem.

Value field added in SurfacePoint structure and done changes as you suggest, but same problem occur(No SurfaceMeshSeries3D chart created).

using 2000x143 surface mesh will take about 800 MB of memory on GPU.

What is the GPU type you are running with?

Please use GPU-Z utility and observe the GPU memory consumption. How high does it go?

If you subscribe to chart.ChartError event handler, does it report anything?

I have added sample project for creating SurfaceMeshSeries3D series and GPU info Image.

GPU memory consumption initially starting with 650MB and goes to around 1100MB high

With current project
If I set iColumnCount <=143, Display SurfaceMeshSeries3D with no error
If I set iColumnCount >143 and <169 then blank chart surface display
If I set iColumnCount >=169 then chart.ChartError report "Memory allocation failed" error of "MemoryAllocationError" ErrorType
