Intensity Mesh Series useage

Post by MZGRD » Tue Sep 11, 2018 6:56 pm

Hi,

I am on LightningChart version 8.3.1, and I have tried to get a bindable IntensityMeshSeries working based on the bindable example for the IntensityGridSeries, however, I have been unable to do so at this time.

In my project, I have several sets of static data that I need to display. If I set breakpoints, I can see that the data is properly bound to the IntensityMeshSeries.Data member; however, nothing displays.

I modified the code for the bindable IntensityGridSeries sample project ExampleHiResSepctrogram to closely mimic what I need to do; however, nothing displays.

What am I missing?

My modifications are below.
Thank you.

Hi,
I believe that you and many other LightningChart users have misconception about bindable edition of LightningChart. I just want to remind you that binding slowdown chart's rendering considerably (non-bindable WPF edition is fastest). If you need binding only to Chart’s properties (not, for example, to single point of data/point array), then semi-bindable edition of LCU would be enough. And rendering with semi-bindable is still much faster than fully-bindable edition.
As you trying to bind to IntensityMeshSeries.Data it should be perfectly fine to go with semi-bindable edition of LCU. This also extend the amount of examples you could be looking, as semi-bindable Demo App has far more examples (although not all of those examples bind anything and using MVVM pattern).

If you need more technical help, please write directly to Arction's support account and provide Subscription ID. Valid Subscription entitles you not only access to LightningChart updates, but also to technical support.
