# ScrollableGraphView

## Announcements

### 9-7-2017 - Version 4:

Version 4 was released which adds multiple plots, dynamic reloading of values, more reference line customisation options and various bug fixes.

You can see the major changes in the API [here](APIv4.md).

The public interface is incompatible with previous versions. If you prefer to keep using the older version, make sure to specify version 3 in your podfile or downloaded the classes from a pre-v4 release.

## About

![Example Application Usage](readme_images/IMG_5814_small.jpg)

An adaptive scrollable graph view for iOS to visualise simple discrete datasets. Written in Swift. Originally written for a small personal project.

The main goal of the this graph component is to visualise simple discrete datasets and allow the the user to scroll through the graph.

## Usage

### Adding the ScrollableGraphView to your project:

Add the ```ScrollableGraphView``` class to your project. There are two ways to add the ScrollableGraphView to your project.

#### Manually
Add all of the files in the [Classes](Classes/) directory to your project in Xcode to your project in Xcode.

#### CocoaPods
Add ```pod 'ScrollableGraphView'``` to your Podfile and then make sure to ```import ScrollableGraphView``` in your code.

#### Carthage
Add `github "philackm/ScrollableGraphView" ~> 4.0.2` to your Cartfile and then make sure to link the frameworks and `import ScrollableGraphView` in your code.

### Creating a graph and providing it with data.

1. Create a ScrollableGraphView instance. The graph requires a data source, which is an object that conforms to the `ScrollableGraphViewDataSource` protocol.

```swift
// Compose the graph view by creating a graph, then adding any plots
// and reference lines before adding the graph to the view hierarchy.
let graphView = ScrollableGraphView(frame: frame, dataSource: self)

let linePlot = LinePlot(identifier: "line") // Identifier should be unique for each plot.
let referenceLines = ReferenceLines()

graphView.addPlot(plot: linePlot)
graphView.addReferenceLines(referenceLines: referenceLines)
```

2. Ensure the dataSource object conforms to the `ScrollableGraphViewDataSource` protocol and implements the following three methods like so:

```swift
func value(forPlot plot: Plot, atIndex pointIndex: Int) -> Double {
// Return the data for each plot.
switch(plot.identifier) {
case "line":
return linePlotData[pointIndex]
default:
return 0
}
}

func label(atIndex pointIndex: Int) -> String {
return "FEB \(pointIndex)"
}

func numberOfPoints() -> Int {
return numberOfDataPointsInGraph
}
```

3. Finally, add the ScrollableGraphView to the view hierarchy.

```swift
someViewController.view.addSubview(graphView)
```

This will create a graph that looks something like:

![SimpleGraph](readme_images/simple.png)

### Interface Builder support

There is now support for Interface Builder (from CocoaPod version 2.0.0). See the example project in the folder: [graphview_example_ib](graphview_example_ib/)

### Things you *could* use it for:

- ✔ Study applications to show time studied/etc
- ✔ Weather applications
- ✔ Prototyping
- ✔ *Simple* data visualisation

### Things you **shouldn't/cannot** use it for:

- ✘ Rigorous statistical software
- ✘ Important & complex data visualisation
- ✘ Graphing continuous mathematical functions

## Customisation

The entire graph is composed by initially creating an empty `ScrollableGraphView` object and progressively adding whatever plots and reference lines you require.

Create a plot using the any of the `LinePlot`, `DotPlot`, `BarPlot` constructors. Create reference lines using the `ReferenceLines()` constructor. Before adding the `ScrollableGraphView` object to the view hierarchy, add the plots and reference lines to the graph using the `addPlot` and `addReferenceLines` methods. You can add multiple plots (examples are shown below). Each plot _must_ have the same number of data points.

In the case of interface builder, graph customisation is performed via the properties pane, whilst plots and reference lines customisation is done in the corresponding view controller. See the example project in the folder: [graphview_example_ib](graphview_example_ib/)

## Graph Customisation

These settings can be set directly on the `ScrollableGraphView` object before adding it to the view hierarchy.

#### Adapting & Animations
| Property | Description |
|---------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **shouldAdaptRange**: Bool | Whether or not the y-axis' range should adapt to the points that are visible on screen. This means if there are only 5 points visible on screen at any given time, the maximum on the y-axis will be the maximum of those 5 points. This is updated automatically as the user scrolls along the graph. ![Adapting](readme_images/adapting.gif)|
| **shouldAnimateOnAdapt**: Bool | If `shouldAdaptRange` is set to true then this specifies whether or not the points on the graph should animate to their new positions. Default is set to `true`. Looks very janky if set to `false`. |
| **shouldAnimateOnStartup**: Bool | Whether or not the graph should animate to their positions when the graph is first displayed. |

#### Spacing
![spacing](readme_images/spacing.png)

| Property | Description |
|-----------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

For example, if it is set to `.rightToLeft`, the graph will start on the "right hand side" of the graph and the user will have to scroll towards the left. |

#### Graph Range
| Property | Description |
|--------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **rangeMin**: Double | The minimum value for the y-axis. This is ignored when `shouldAdaptRange` = `true` |
| **rangeMax**: Double | The maximum value for the y-axis. This is ignored when `shouldAdaptRange` = `true` |
| **shouldRangeAlwaysStartAtZero**: Bool | Forces the graph's minimum to always be zero. Used in conjunction with `shouldAdaptRange`, if you want to force the minimum to stay at 0 rather than the detected minimum. |

## Plot Customisation

orangeSquarePlot.dataPointSize = 5
orangeSquarePlot.dataPointFillColor = UIColor.colorFromHex(hexString: "#ff7d78")

orangeSquarePlot.adaptAnimationType = ScrollableGraphViewAnimationType.elastic

// Setup the reference lines.
let referenceLines = ReferenceLines()

referenceLines.referenceLineLabelFont = UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 8)
referenceLines.referenceLineColor = UIColor.white.withAlphaComponent(0.2)
referenceLines.referenceLineLabelColor = UIColor.white
referenceLines.relativePositions = [0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1]

referenceLines.dataPointLabelColor = UIColor.white.withAlphaComponent(1)

// Setup the graph
graphView.backgroundFillColor = UIColor.colorFromHex(hexString: "#333333")

graphView.dataPointSpacing = 80

graphView.shouldAnimateOnStartup = true
graphView.shouldAdaptRange = true
graphView.shouldRangeAlwaysStartAtZero = true

// Add everything to the graph.
graphView.addReferenceLines(referenceLines: referenceLines)
graphView.addPlot(plot: blueLinePlot)
graphView.addPlot(plot: blueDotPlot)
graphView.addPlot(plot: orangeLinePlot)
graphView.addPlot(plot: orangeSquarePlot)
```

## Known Issues

- Some aspects of the graph cannot be customised _after_ it has been added to the view hierarchy.
- Reloading the graph with a different number of data items is currently not supported.
- Performance in the simulator is not great.

If you find any bugs please create an issue on Github.
