SciChart iOS and macOS is a feature-rich and powerful OpenGL ES and Metal 2D and 3D chart component for scientific, medical, financial and enterprise apps. It enables developers to create stunning 2D and 3D charting applications in Swift, Objective‑C or Xamarin.iOS running on iPhone, iPad and Mac. SciChart is widely considered the best iOS Chart Library for big, complex data visualizations. The library supports a wide variety of popular iOS & macOS 2D chart types such as line charts, scatter charts, column charts, mountain/area charts, candlestick charts, OHLC charts, error bars, bubble charts, heatmaps, pie charts, nested charts, stacked charts, fan charts, impulse charts, point‑line charts, digital (step) charts, donut charts and more. Dozens of 3D chart types are also available out of the box for iOS and macOS, including 3D bubble charts, scatter charts, sparse column charts, point‑cloud charts, point‑line charts, polar charts, ellipsoid charts, cylindroid charts, free-surface 3D charts, surface mesh charts, waterfall charts, impulse series, column series and more. SciChart iOS provides real‑time performance, rendering millions of data points with zoom and pan interactions. Thanks to the proprietary OpenGLES and Metal rendering engine, SciChart offers instant start‑up times, low memory and CPU footprint, and efficient battery usage. Rich touch interaction allows dragging, panning, scaling axes, tapping tooltips, pinching to zoom and double‑tapping to reset zoom. Custom interactions can be implemented using the powerful Chart Modifier API. Developers can overlay lines, text, boxes or watermarks over charts at specific data‑point locations using the annotation API. Threshold markers such as draggable vertical or horizontal lines are supported. SciChart iOS and macOS 3D charts allow plotting LIDAR, UAV, self‑driving car sensors, machine learning outputs or any multidimensional data with support for color, size and metadata dimensions. SciChart also supports cursors, tooltips, legends and advanced hit‑testing. Modern 3D interactions allow selecting series, tapping datapoints and navigating complex scenes. The library ships with eight stunning themes and supports pixel‑perfect customization. JavaScript‑style animations such as fade, sweep and bounce bring visual energy to charts. The PaletteProvider API enables per-point coloring based on data values. The API is fully extensible with Axis LabelProvider, Custom Series API and ChartModifier API, giving full control over rendering, behavior and visuals. Unlimited multiple X and Y axes support big‑data use cases, with numeric, logarithmic and date axes available. Multiple charts can be linked to synchronize zooming and panning. Financial chart features include stock, OHLC, candlestick, multi‑pane dashboards, and the ability to use category date axes. SciChart iOS also introduces 3D scientific visualization with real-time surface mesh charts, enabling tens of thousands of cells to be plotted on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
