Minor Changes
-
66541ab- Let the crosshair carry a label, so the text above it keeps up with the finger.crosshairStyle.labelstakes one string per slot in data order — a time, a date, whatever
the reading is called — and every renderer draws the one for the read slot above the plot,
in the same pass that draws the line.labelColorandlabelSizestyle it. The app still
writes the words; the chart only places them.This is the one piece of scrub chrome worth taking back off the app. Everything else an
overlay draws over a plot sits still long enough foronInteractionto place it — a card
against a rule, a badge on an annotation — but a label pinned to the crosshair has to move
with it, and a position that reaches JavaScript through a bridge and comes back as a
re-render is a frame or two behind the line it belongs to. Reading the two together, the
label visibly drags. Nothing about the overlay contract changes; this is one thing added to
the side of it that was always going to lose that race. -
66541ab- AddfadeToto the series fill, so the paint can thin towards the plot's floor.An even fill has two edges: the trace along its top, and a hard stop along the bottom of
the plot that no data put there. On a chart with no axis to speak of the second one reads
as a second line, and the eye keeps going back to it.fill({fadeTo: 0.12})takes the fill
down to a tenth of its strength by the floor, so it gathers under the trace and lets go.The three renderers get there differently. The SwiftUI and Compose canvases paint the dot
grid a row at a time, which is the largest unit that can share an alpha — one path per dot
would be thousands of draw calls a frame, and one path for the grid can only carry one.
ECharts is given a tile as tall as the plot and repeated only across, because a tile that
repeated vertically would restart the ramp every few pixels; that needs the plot height
before the chart is measured, so it is computed from the same gutters the grid reserves and
a chart given noheightkeeps an even fill rather than guessing at one. -
66541ab- Addmarker.trail, a selection marker that lights the trace up to the reading.marker.segmentbrightens a windowspansteps either side of the mark under the finger,
which reads as light moving along the data. That is the right shape when the reader is
comparing a point against its neighbours, and the wrong one for a price chart, where the
question is what has happened so far — everything before the finger is history, everything
after it has not been reached yet.There was no way to say that: the window is symmetric in all three renderers, and
dimOpacityfades the whole line at once.marker.traillights from the first datum to the
reading instead and leaves the rest atdimOpacity, on Swift Charts, the Compose canvas and
the web. It takes neitherspannorsize— its far end is the reading and its near end is
the start of the series, so there is nothing to size.Both stroke-lighting styles are drawn over the line rather than beside it, so both still
need adimOpacityto stand out from. The iOS and Android selection-marker views now treat
a trail the way they already treated a segment, and draw no dot of their own on top of it. -
66541ab- Maketransition: 'morph'do something on iOS and Android.ChartTransitionhas offered'crossfade' | 'morph'since the contract was written, but
only crossfade was ever implemented. Asking for a morph did not fall back to a crossfade —
it fell through to no animation at all, and the plot cut from one dataset to the next.Both platforms now blend the two: the readings, the pinned axis domain, and the value a rule
or a point sits at, so nothing on the plot jumps while the trace is on its way. Annotations
are matched byid— one that exists on both sides slides, one that does not simply
arrives. A morph needs the two sides to correspond, so where the series count or the
reading count differs the new dataset is shown as it is: half a morph reads worse than none.animation({duration, easing})times it, the same two that time the entrance and every
other data change — so a morph is tuned from the props rather than from a curve baked into
the renderer.'spring'resolves to the eased curve: there is no closed form to sample at a
fraction, and a transition that overshoots would carry the marks past their new values and
back.The frames are produced rather than animated towards. SwiftUI and Compose both interpolate
modifiers; a fraction fed to a data computation is set straight to its final value and
the body runs once, which is an animation that never draws a frame. iOS runs the clock off a
TimelineView, the way the traced reveal does, and parks the schedule whenever nothing is
moving. Android reads the clock inside the canvas, so a morph costs a draw a frame rather
than a recomposition of the chart around it.Implicit animation is switched off underneath the iOS morph — the chart's own update
animation with it, which is the one that mattered. An animation keyed on the data is handed a
new target on every frame of a morph and spends the whole morph chasing it: the trace is drawn
from the frame directly and lands on time, while every mark Swift Charts owns arrives a beat
late and keeps moving after the line has settled. The rule at the latest reading showed it
worst — it hung at its old price and then slid down once the morph was already over. Compose
draws straight from the frame it is given, so it never had the second animation to switch off.A morph cut short sets off from what is on screen rather than from the dataset the last one
was heading for. A row of range buttons gets pressed in sequence, and snapping back to the
window before to set off again is a jump nobody asked for.Two datasets only correspond if they agree on how many readings they have. A screen that
switches between windows of different lengths — a day against a year — has to sample them
into the same number of slots to be morphed between; otherwise this stays a crossfade.transitionstays a native choice, and is now documented as one. The web renderer
transitions a data change itself, mark by mark: the ones on both sides move, the ones on one
side fade. That is a better answer to a changed axis than dissolving the whole plot, so a web
chart does it whichever name it is given — including for the sameanimationobject an app
shares with its native screens. -
66541ab- Addfillto the series style: a dot-grid pattern, and a baseline other than the plot floor.fillOpacitywas the whole vocabulary for the area under a line, and it only did anything on
Chart.Area, where the fill runs to the bottom of the plot because there the fill is the
quantity. Two things a price chart wants were unsayable.A fill can now close against a value —
fill({baseline: latest})— so the shape between the
trace and that number is filled above the line and below it, and reads as distance from where
the asset stands rather than as volume. And it can be laid down as a grid of dots rather than
a flat wash —fill({pattern: 'dots', spacing: 3.4})— which carries a fill across a pale
background without the second, fainter chart a wash leaves behind it.filllives onNativeChartSeriesStylenext toglow, so every entry point takes it, the
web one included: a clipped dot path on the SwiftUI and Compose canvases, a repeating canvas
pattern on ECharts. Opacity is stillfillOpacity— one spelling — though a dot grid usually
wants more of it than a wash, since most of what it covers stays bare.Giving a series a
fillalso paints an area underChart.Line, where it is decoration rather
than the quantity.Chart.Areais unchanged: it still fills by default, and afillonly
overrides the pattern and the baseline.
Patch Changes
-
66541ab- Stop Android drawing grid rules for an axis that asked not to be drawn.yAxis={{visible: false}}took the labels off the Compose canvas and left the rules behind:
drawGridonly ever consultedyAxis.grid, which defaults on, so a chart meant to be read
off its marks alone came out with five grey lines across it — and only on Android, since
Swift Charts and ECharts both drop a hidden axis' grid with the rest of it. A plot styled to
bleed off the window showed the divergence at its clearest: the rules stopped short of the
right edge, where the axis' end padding is.The grid now follows the axis.
gridstill turns the rules off on their own for an axis that
is drawn, which is what a chart wanting labels without rules already passes. -
66541ab- Draw the Android crosshair and selection marker wherever the scrub reaches, not only where
the finger happens to land inside the plot.Both asked whether the plot contained the pointer and drew nothing when it did not, while
the reading itself is picked off the pointer's x alone and clamped into the plot on the way.
So a finger in any of the four bands the plot is inset by — 20dp at the leading edge, 16dp
at the top, 24dp under the marks — moved the trace, lit the trail and reported a reading,
and put neither a line nor a mark nor a label on th...

Minor Changes
-
54b15f6- Give an annotation label a chip and a side that keeps it readable.labelBackgroundpaints
a rounded fill behind the label, so a rule's value stays legible where the marks run
through it, andlabelPosition: 'auto'picks the side from where the rule sits: above it
in the lower half of the plot, below it higher up. Fixed sides still win when named, so
nothing changes for annotations that already pass'top'or'bottom'. -
54b15f6- Let a rule annotation set its own thickness.widthjoinsdashandcoloron
ChartLineAnnotation, honoured on iOS, Android and the web — the line width was pinned at 1
in the native drawing code, so a reference line could be dashed and coloured but never made
heavier or lighter than the hairline it started as.Android drew both the width and the dash lengths in pixels while they are given in dp, which
on a 3× screen made a dashed rule a third of its asked-for thickness with a third of its
asked-for dash; both are scaled now. -
54b15f6- Put your own component where an annotation lands, withannotationViews.The chart already reported where every annotation ended up, and an app that wanted a logo
at the live reading or its own head on a rule had to take it from there: hold the geometry
in state, absolutely position a view over the plot, keep the two in step. That work was the
same every time, so it lives in the chart now. Key a node by the annotation'sidand it is
centred on the spot, moves with the data, and the mark the chart would have drawn there is
left out — one prop instead of an overlay of your own.<Chart.Line annotations={[ annotation.point({ id: "live", x: live.category, y: live.value }), ]} annotationViews={{ live: <LivePrice value={live.value} /> }} categories={categories} series={series} />
The annotations you leave out keep the dot, glow and pulse the renderers draw, on all three
platforms, and nothing about the built-in marks has changed. An annotation can also be an
anchor and nothing else:hidden: truekeeps it measured and reported ingeometrywhile
drawing none of it, which is what a view of your own placed by hand — a card following the
finger, say — wants underneath it.Charts that draw annotations but had no pointer layer to measure them (
Chart.Area,
Chart.Bar,Chart.StackedBaron the web) now reportgeometryon the'layout'phase
like the rest, so the views land there too. -
54b15f6- Report where the plot and its annotations ended up, so an app can draw its own overlays
instead of the ones the chart bakes in. Native charts now emit a'layout'phase carrying
geometry— the plot's box and every annotation's position, in the chart view's own
coordinate space — anduseChartScrubreturns it asgeometryalongside the selection,
which also carries the pointer'snativeX/nativeYnow.That is enough to place any React component over the chart: your own badge on an event
annotation instead of the built-in glyph-in-a-circle, your own card at the reading under
the finger, a logo, a button, whatever the design asks for. Leavebadgeoff the
annotation and the chart draws only the rule, leaving the head to you. -
54b15f6- Let every entry point hand over the whole contract, not most of it.@hzblj/zyplot/iosand@hzblj/zyplot/androidre-exported the shared types andChart, and
then stopped: the builders anduseLastReadingare values, andexport type *does not carry a
value. So the import the documentation shows for a platform file —import {annotation, Chart} from '@hzblj/zyplot/ios'— resolved at the type level and came backundefinedat runtime. Both
entries now export the fifteen builders anduseLastReadingalongsideuseChartScrub, so a
*.ios.tsxfile needs one import rather than two.@hzblj/zyplot/webre-exported a hand-kept subset of the shared types, and several a web chart
actually needs were missing from it:ChartCandlestickDatumandChartCandlestickStyle, which
Chart.Candlesticktakes;ChartRangeAnnotationandChartTextAnnotation, two of the four
members of the unionannotationsis;StyledChartSeries, what theseriesbuilder returns;
and the small unions the documented shapes are written in terms of —ChartSymbol,
ChartAxisScale,ChartCoordinate,ChartSurfacePaddingand the rest. Typing a candle array
or a helper that returns a range annotation meant importing from@hzblj/zyplot-coredirectly.
They are all re-exported now.Chart.TimeSerieswas also the one web form whose list prop stayed mutable: itsseriesis
readonly Omit<ChartSeries, 'values'>[]now, like every other list the web charts take. -
54b15f6- Two knobs for reading a candlestick chart.interaction.highlightBlendsays how far the
read mark is lifted towardsinteraction.highlightColor, so at 0.5 a red candle lights up
red instead of turning white — a flat replacement threw the series colour away, which is the
one thing a candle's colour is for.style.candleRadiusrounds the candle body, and rounds
the wick's caps with it so the wick does not read as a cut-off stub against a rounded body. -
54b15f6- Let the mark under the pointer light up.interaction.highlightColordraws the read mark in
its own colour, so a scrub reads as one candle lit rather than as every other candle merely
dimmed — dimming alone leaves the read one in its resting colour, which is hard to pick out
against a plot that has only lost a little contrast. Implemented for candlesticks on both
platforms, alongside thedimOpacityfix that made the rest fade at all. -
54b15f6- Draw with the theme's font on iOS and Android, and read the last three theme
colours everywhere.theme.typography.fontFamilyreached only the web renderer before: the native
ones decodedcolorsand droppedtypographyon the floor, so a chart beside a
<Text>in the app's own font drew its axis labels in the system one. Both now
resolve the family the way their platform resolves text — iOS through the
registered-font lookup behindUIFont(name:), Android through React Native's
ReactFontManager, which coversassets/fonts,res/fontand anything
expo-fontregistered at runtime. A family the app never shipped falls back to
the platform font, exactly as a canvas does on the web. It reaches every string
either renderer draws: axis labels and titles, tick labels, annotation labels and
badges, rule labels, the tooltip and the gauge reading.Three colours were also being decoded and then ignored:
axisnow colours the tick marks on both platforms. Android drew no ticks at
all until now, so itsticksaxis option had nothing to switch off; it draws
them beside every label the x and y axes place, an overlaid y axis excepted —
it reserves no gutter for one to sit in.surfacenow fills the tooltip card. It replaces the hardcoded near-black on
Android and the system material on iOS, which is still what a chart with no
surfacein its theme gets.backgroundnow paints the plot on Android when noplot.backgroundColor
overrides it, the order iOS already resolved in.
-
54b15f6- Give each theme shape a name of its own.@hzblj/zyplot/webexported two
incompatible types calledChartTheme— the wide paletteChart.Providertakes,
and the narrower one a chart's ownthemeprop takes — and the explicit export
won, so a value annotatedChartThemewas not assignable to the prop of the same
name.There are now three, and the two wider ones are supersets of the portable one, so
a single object can be passed to any of the three props:ChartThemeis the portable subset:axis,categorical,grid,label,
negative,positive,surface,track, andtypography. Every key on it is
one all four renderers draw with. Its colours areChartThemeColors, exported
for building a theme up in parts.NativeChartThemeaddscolors.background, the chart's own fill, which only a
native surface paints.backgroundhas moved here offChartTheme: the web
renderer never drew it, and the box a web chart sits on issurface.background.ChartProviderThemeaddsborder,diverging,mutedandsequential— the
palettes and greys that only a CSS variable can carry — and is what the web
Chart.Providertakes.
Chart.Provideralso reads the flatnegativeandpositivenow, as the
shorthand fordiverging.negativeanddiverging.positive. Passing the
five-keydivergingobject still wins over them, so setting both is not
ambiguous. -
54b15f6- Give the pulse on a live point a rhythm, and hand it over.pulseon a point annotation
now takes aChartPulse—color,duration,interval,opacity,scale— as well as
thetrueit took before, andtruenow means one bloom of 450 ms followed by a rest of
1550 ms, at 2.2× the point's resting ring.That replaces a single 1.8 s expa...

1550 ms, at 2.2× the point's resting ring.That replaces a single 1.8 s expansion that faded to nothing with no rest between cycles:
the ring spent almost the whole cycle nearly transparent, which read as no animation at
all. The ring's colour is settable too, and falls back to the glow's colour and then to the
point's own — on iOS a pulse with no glow used to inherit the glow's.clearand draw
nothing at all.Android had no pulse to speak of — the parameter was threaded through the drawing code
but nothing ever animated it — and now draws the same bloom off the same clock. -
54b15f6- Make the data shapes one contract across web and native. The web entry point had
its own copies ofChartSeries,ChartDatum,ChartTimePointsand the other
per-form inputs, identical to the ones in@hzblj/zyplot-coreexcept that their
arrays were mutable. It now re-exports the core types, so a value typed once can be
handed to a web chart and a native one.Every web chart prop that takes a list —
series,categories,data,nodes,
cells,groups,rows,values— now accepts areadonlyarray, as the native
props and web's ownChart.Candlestickalready did. Passing anas constarray or
