Removing Grid Lines from Charts in SwiftUI
Hi, I have created a line graph using LineMark in Charts, which by default includes grid lines and axes lines. My requirement is to remove the grid lines but retain the axes lines and the values. I have tried the following code: .chartXAxis { AxisMarks(preset: .extended, values: .stride(by: 2), stroke: StrokeStyle(lineWidth: 0)) } This is removing grid lines as well as axes lines. How to retain axes lines while removing grid lines ?

Swift charts displaying wrong theme through UIHostingController
Hi there, I'm currently using UIHostingController to display swift charts in uikit. The problem im facing is that the UIHostingController isn't outputting the intended theme. When the simulator/phone is on dark mode the view is still in light mode. Iv'e tried to force the view to use dark mode with: .environment(\.colorScheme, .dark) But it doesn't seem to help. Here's how I implement the UIHostingController to my view: let controller = UIHostingController(rootView: StatVC()) controller.view.translatesAutoresizingMaksIntoConstraints = false addChild(controller) controller.didMove(toParent: self) view.addSubview(controller.view) where StatVC() is the swiftui view which contains the swift chart.

Affiliate View Struct is probably hidden by Charts on iOS app
The problem is: As per screenshot below, one can only see the lineChart. I have another struct AffiliateView coded under this Chart: import SnapKit import Charts import DGCharts class AffiliateViewController: UIViewController { private lazy var chartView: LineChartView = { let chart = LineChartView() chart.noDataText = "No data available." chart.chartDescription.enabled = false chart.xAxis.labelPosition = .bottom chart.rightAxis.enabled = false chart.legend.enabled = true chart.backgroundColor = .lightGray // For debugging visibility return chart }() private lazy var containerView: UIView = { let view = UIView() view.backgroundColor = .white return view }() override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() view.backgroundColor = .white // Add container view and chart view to the main view view.addSubview(containerView) view.addSubview(chartView) // Add SwiftUI View inside the container view let affiliateView = AffiliateView() let hostingController = UIHostingController(rootView: affiliateView) addChild(hostingController) containerView.addSubview(hostingController.view) hostingController.view.frame = containerView.bounds hostingController.didMove(toParent: self) layout() setupChartData() } private func layout() { // Layout the container view (SwiftUI content) containerView.snp.makeConstraints { make in make.top.equalTo(view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.snp.top) make.left.right.equalToSuperview() make.height.equalTo(350) // Increase the height for the SwiftUI content } // Layout the chart view below the container view chartView.snp.makeConstraints { make in make.top.equalTo(containerView.snp.bottom).offset(20) // Space between chart and the affiliate content make.left.equalToSuperview().offset(20) make.right.equalToSuperview().offset(-20) make.height.equalTo(200) // Set a fixed height for the chart } } private func setupChartData() { let dataEntries = [ ChartDataEntry(x: 1, y: 10), ChartDataEntry(x: 2, y: 20), ChartDataEntry(x: 3, y: 15), ChartDataEntry(x: 4, y: 30), ChartDataEntry(x: 5, y: 25) ] let dataSet = LineChartDataSet(entries: dataEntries, label: "Clicks per Day") dataSet.colors = [.blue] dataSet.valueColors = [.black] dataSet.circleColors = [.red] dataSet.circleRadius = 4.0 let data = LineChartData(dataSet: dataSet) chartView.data = data chartView.notifyDataSetChanged() } } // SwiftUI View remains in the same file struct AffiliateView: View { @State private var customMessage: String = "" @State private var uniqueLink: String = "Your unique link will appear here." @State private var clickData: [Double] = [10, 20, 15, 30, 25] // Example data var body: some View { NavigationView { VStack(spacing: 20) { // TextField for custom message input TextField("Enter your custom message...", text: $customMessage) .textFieldStyle(RoundedBorderTextFieldStyle()) .padding(.horizontal) // Generate Link Button Button(action: generateLink) { Text("Generate Sign-Up Link") .font(.headline) .foregroundColor(.white) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: 50) .background(Color.red) .cornerRadius(10) } .padding(.horizontal) // Generated Link Label Text(uniqueLink) .font(.body) .multilineTextAlignment(.center) .padding(.horizontal) // You can add a chart here if you want to show it in SwiftUI too /* LineChartView(data: clickData, title: "Clicks per Day", legend: "Daily Clicks") */ } .navigationTitle("Affiliate Marketing") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } } private func generateLink() { let encodedMessage = customMessage.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlQueryAllowed) ?? "" uniqueLink = "https://affiliate.example.com/referral?message=\(encodedMessage)" addClickData() } private func addClickData() { clickData.append(Double.random(in: 0...100)) } } As you see, the AffiliateView has been declared outside of Controller View class. The View content was visible before the lineChart was added into this code. Now the View content is not visible anymore. I have tried to increment/decrement values at make.height.equalTo() but to no avail. Could anyone kindly point me in the right direction?

How to Visualize Data in a DataFrame Using Charts
I want to visualize the data stored in a DataFrame using various charts (barmark, sectormark, linemark, etc.). My questions are as follows: Can a DataFrame be used directly within a chart? If so, could you provide a simple example? If it cannot be used directly, what is the correct way to use it? Could you provide an example? Thank you for your help. Best regards.

TabView and Swift Charts giving inconsistent behaviour when swiping between pages
Hi there, I have a TabView in page style. Inside that TabView I have a number of views, each view is populated with a model object from an array. The array is iterated to provide the chart data. Here is the code: TabView(selection: $displayedChartIndex) { ForEach((0..<data.count), id: \.self) { index in ZStack { AccuracyLineView(graphData: tabSelectorModel.lineChartModels[index]) .padding(5) } .tag((index)) } } .tabViewStyle(.page) .indexViewStyle(.page(backgroundDisplayMode: .always)) I am seeing odd behaviour, as I swipe left and right, occasionally the chart area shows the chart from another page in the TabView. I know the correct view is being shown as there are text elements. See the screenshot below. The screen on the right is running iOS 17.2 and this works correctly. The screen on the left is running iOS 17.4 and the date at the top is correct which tells me that the data object is correct. However the graph is showing a chart from a different page. When I click on the chart on the left (I have interaction enabled) then it immediately draws the correct chart. If I disable the interaction then I still get the behaviour albeit the chart never corrects itself because there is no interaction! I can reproduce this in the 17.4 simulator and it is happening in my live app on iOS17.4. This has only started happening since iOS 17.4 dropped and works perfectly in iOS 17.2 simulator and I didn't notice it in the live app when I was running 17.3. Is this a bug and/or is there a workaround? For info this is the chart view code, it is not doing anything clever: struct AccuracyLineView: View { @State private var selectedIndex: Int? let graphData: LineChartModel func calcHourMarkers (maxTime: Int) -> [Int] { let secondsInDay = 86400 // 60 * 60 * 24 var marks: [Int] = [] var counter = 0 while counter <= maxTime { if (counter > 0) { marks.append(counter) } counter += secondsInDay } return marks } var selectedGraphMark: GraphMark? { var returnMark: GraphMark? = nil var prevPoint = graphData.points.first for point in graphData.points { if let prevPoint { if let selectedIndex, let lastPoint = graphData.points.last, ((point.interval + prevPoint.interval) / 2 > selectedIndex || point == lastPoint) { if point == graphData.points.last { if selectedIndex > (point.interval + prevPoint.interval) / 2 { returnMark = point } else { returnMark = prevPoint } } else { returnMark = prevPoint break } } } prevPoint = point } return returnMark } var body: some View { let lineColour:Color = Color(AppTheme.globalAccentColour) VStack { HStack { Image(systemName: "clock") Text(graphData.getStartDate() + " - " + graphData.getEndDate()) // 19-29 Sept .font(.caption) .fontWeight(.light) Spacer() } Spacer() Chart { // Lines ForEach(graphData.points) { item in LineMark( x: .value("Interval", item.interval), y: .value("Offset", item.timeOffset), series: .value("A", "A") ) .interpolationMethod(.catmullRom) .foregroundStyle(lineColour) .symbol { Circle() .stroke(Color(Color(UIColor.secondarySystemGroupedBackground)), lineWidth: 4) .fill(AppTheme.globalAccentColour) .frame(width: 10) } } ForEach(graphData.trend) { item in LineMark ( x: .value("Interval", item.interval), y: .value("Offset", item.timeOffset) ) .foregroundStyle(Color(UIColor.systemGray2)) } if let selectedGraphMark { RuleMark(x: .value("Offset", selectedGraphMark.interval)) .foregroundStyle(Color(UIColor.systemGray4)) } } .chartXSelection(value: $selectedIndex) .chartXScale(domain: [0, graphData.getMaxTime()]) } } }

SwiftUI charts, how do I align these X axis labels correctly?
Hi there, so I have this chart that's taking in a Date for it's x values and a time interval for their y values. For some reason, the labels aren't centering on each bar, the only fix I see is to add an offset to each label but that seems hacky. My code: Chart { ForEach(weekBreakdownArr, id: \.startDate) { bd in BarMark( x: .value("Date", bd.startDate), y: .value("Duration", bd.durationWorkDone), width: .fixed(15) ) .foregroundStyle(Color.redYarn) .cornerRadius(2) } //... } // shownXValues are just the start dates in an array .chartXAxis { AxisMarks(position: .automatic, values: shownXValues) { val in AxisValueLabel { Text("Th") .useAppFont(size: 12, relativeTo: .body, weight: .regular) } } }

Swift Charts legend overflowing outside frame
I'm building an app that lets users create charts with custom values and while testing, I came up with this bug that happens when the view width forces the legend to have more than 1 line. Due to Swift trying to align the different labels vertically, it's forcing the first line to overflow. Here's the code to generate this: import SwiftUI import Charts struct DonutView: View { var countries:[(country:String, count:Int)] = [ (country: "Africa", count: 54), (country: "Asia", count: 48), (country: "Europe", count: 44), (country: "North America", count: 23), (country: "Oceania", count: 14), (country: "South America", count: 12), ] var body: some View { Chart { ForEach(0..<countries.count, id:\.self) { idx in SectorMark( angle: .value(countries[idx].country, countries[idx].count), innerRadius: .ratio(0.5) ) .foregroundStyle(by: .value("label", countries[idx].country)) } } .frame(width: 310, height: 270) .border(.blue, width: 1) } } Has anyone seen this? Is there a solution? I know about building custom legends, but SwiftUI has no wrapping HStack nor VStack, and the app allows users to change the legend position from the bottom to the top or sides. If I were to go this way, I'd have to write a very large chunk of code to bypass what seems to be a bug.
