Updated LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.Avalonia from 2.0.0-rc2 to 2.0.0-rc5.4.
Release notes
Sourced from LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.Avalonia's releases.
2.0.0-rc5
This release brings a lot of improvements to the library, more than 400 commits from the last release; The library it is now compatible with net 9 on Maui, uses SkiaSharp 3 by default (when the UI framework supports it), it supports now GPU rendering (when the UI framework supports it), fixes a lot of pointer-interaction-related issues, improves events, visual elements are easier to customize, and also the drawing engine was re-structured.
Drawing engine improvements
The drawing engine in older versions was really simple, as the library evolved new features were required, like Layouts, but there was one thing missing, when an element was inside a layout, Canvas transform was not applied to the children, this is now supported and required important changes in the internal code of the library that handles drawing, this feature is now used by default on tooltips:
The opacity and scale from the tooltip geometry is also applied to the content inside the tooltip, that was missing in the library and was impossible in older versions, it is a small detail but was required.
The drawing engine code is much cleaner now, the library used interfaces to define all shapes in the core of library, for example the
IRoundedRectangleGeometry, then on the SkiaSharp assembly, there was an implementation of this interface; Now instead there is a base abstract class in the core of the library (BaseRoundedRectangleGeometry that inherits from DrawnGeometry), this base class handles animations and transforms, then on the SkiaSharp assembly, we inherit from this base class and just use SkiaSharp to draw the rectangle (see RoundedRectangleGeometry), this is much cleaner and has the potential to remove the dependency of the library on SkiaSharp.More info at #1705.
Maui Net 9 friendly
in older versions, Maui handlers were not registered following the Maui logic, this caused issues like #1684, or #1703 this is now fixed, but there are breaking changes, you must now call
.UseLiveCharts()in theMauiProgram.csfile, more info in the installation guide.New Visual elements
VisualElements felt hacky, they were hard to customize, now it is much easier to draw anything we need in the canvas, there a lot of new examples in the web site, the old Visuals are still supported but some of them are marked as obsolete.
GPU rendering
When your app starts, you can now call
LiveCharts.UseGPU = truethis will use the Hardware accelerated view provided by SkiaSharp, there are known limitations, this is not supported on NetFramework due #3111, and also not on Avalonia or Eto, where they provide the Skia assemblies.New FPS log
We can now know the frames per second on a chart by setting
LiveCharts.ShowFPS = true;and even try to get more, for exampleLiveCharts.MaxFps = 90;, the default is 65, not supported on Avalonia, where frames are handled by the framework.How many FPS can Blazor render?
About 60, not bad! but that was only the tooltip, now let's move the chart:
Still decent ❤️
Pointer interaction
There is a lot of feedback about how users try to interact with the chart, this version tries to take all that feedback and provide a solution for all the cases, the FindingStrategy property on a CartesianChart, is more flexible, this property allows the user to configure how the library selects points on the chart, the library provides 8 different strategies, but when that is not enough you also create your own logic now, more info at #1687.
The events article was also updated to explain more about this common scenario.
Axis scales

2.0.0-rc4
This release is a detailed review on every open issue in the library, the reliability of the library should be drastically improved.
Now the library is compatible with SkiaSharp 3, also the Maui, Uno and WinUI views use SkiaSharp 3 by default.
There are still some issues that need attention before the first GA version.
Breaking Changes
There are no breaking changes, but this release removes most of the code that was marked as
[Obsolete]in previous versions, so before updating to this version, ensure that there is no an Obsolete warning in the compiler log, here is a list of the most common features in the library that were removed in older versions:point.PrimaryValue, now usepoint.Coordinate.PrimaryValueAsLiveChartsPieSeries()extension changed toAsPieSeries()MauiProgram.csfile, change.UseSkiaSharp(true)to.UseSkiaSharp()All the documentation on the website is updated, all obsoletes should be removed fro docs now, to get a full list please see the changes on #1625.
