Version 2.2.3, synced to MPAndroidChart #5f51623
- Xcode 7 / Swift 2.0
- iOS 7.0 (Drag .swift files to your project)
- iOS 8.0 / 9.0 (Use as an Embedded Framework)
- tvOS 9.0
- OSX 10.11
Okay so there's this beautiful library called MPAndroidChart by Philipp Jahoda which has become very popular amongst Android developers, and in the meanwhile there's no decent charting solution for iOS.
I've chosen to write it in Swift
as it can be highly optimized by the compiler, and can be used in both Swift
and ObjC
project. The demo project is written in ObjC
to demonstrate how it works.
An amazing feature of this library now, for Android, iOS, tvOS and OSX, is the time it saves you when developing for both platforms, as the learning curve is singleton- it happens only once, and the code stays very similar so developers don't have to go around and re-invent the app to produce the same output with a different library. (And that's not even considering the fact that there's not really another good choice out there currently...)
In order to correctly compile:
- Drag the
Charts.xcodeproj
to your project - Go to your target's settings, hit the "+" under the "Embedded Binaries" section, and select the Charts.framework
- Temporary workaround: Xcode 6.3.1 has a bug, where you have to build your project once before actually writing the
@import
line. So hit "Build" now! @import Charts
- When using Swift in an ObjC project:
- You need to import your Bridging Header. Usually it is "YourProject-Swift.h", so in ChartsDemo it's "ChartsDemo-Swift.h". Do not try to actually include "ChartsDemo-Swift.h" in your project :-)
- Under "Build Options", mark "Embedded Content Contains Swift Code"
- When using Realm.io:
- Note that the Realm framework is not linked with Charts - it is only there for optional bindings. Which means that you need to have the framework in your project, and in a compatible version to whatever is compiled with Charts. We will do our best to always compile against the latest version.
If you want to compile for iOS 7:
- Drag the code itself (.swift files) to your project. As sadly, Swift currently does not support compiling Frameworks for iOS 7.
- Make sure that the files are added to the Target membership.
- Please note the difference between installing a compiled framework from CocoaPods or Carthage, and copying the source code.
- If you are using Realm, please also
#import <ChartsRealm/ChartsRealm.h>
- If you are compiling the source code and want to use Realm, please make sure to include the code from
ChartsRealm
project. - Please read the Usage section again.

Add pod 'Charts'
to your Podfile. "Charts" is the name of the library.
For Realm support you can specify the subspec in your Podfile as follows:
pod 'Charts/Realm'
Note: is not the correct library, and refers to a different project by someone else.pod 'ios-charts'
Charts now include Carthage prebuilt binaries.
github "danielgindi/ios-charts" == 2.2.3
github "danielgindi/ios-charts" ~> 2.2.3
In order to build the binaries for a new release, use carthage build --no-skip-current && carthage archive Charts && carthage archive ChartsRealm
.
If you like what you see here, and want to support the work being done in this repository, you could:
- Contribute code, issues and pull requests
- Let people know this library exists (:fire: spread the word :fire:)
(You can buy me a beer, or you can buy me dinner :-)
Note: The author of MPAndroidChart is the reason that this library exists, and is accepting donations on his page. He deserves them!
If you are having questions or problems, you should:
- Make sure you are using the latest version of the library. Check the release-section.
- Study the Android version's Documentation-Wiki
- Study the (Still incomplete
) Pod-Documentation
- Search or open questions on stackoverflow with the
ios-charts
tag - Search known issues for your problem (open and closed)
- Create new issues (please ๐ฅ search known issues before ๐ฅ, do not create duplicate issues)
Core features:
- 8 different chart types
- Scaling on both axes (with touch-gesture, axes separately or pinch-zoom)
- Dragging / Panning (with touch-gesture)
- Combined-Charts (line-, bar-, scatter-, candle-stick-, bubble-)
- Dual (separate) Axes
- Customizeable Axes (both x- and y-axis)
- Highlighting values (with customizeable popup-views)
- Save chart to camera-roll / export to PNG/JPEG
- Predefined color templates
- Legends (generated automatically, customizeable)
- Customizeable Axes (both x- and y-axis)
- Animations (build up animations, on both x- and y-axis)
- Limit lines (providing additional information, maximums, ...)
- Fully customizeable (paints, typefaces, legends, colors, background, gestures, dashed lines, ...)
- Plotting data directly from Realm.io mobile database
Chart types:
Screenshots are currently taken from the original repository, as they render exactly the same :-)
-
BarChart (with legend, simple design)
- BarChart (grouped DataSets)
- Horizontal-BarChart
- PieChart (with selection, ...)
- ScatterChart (with squares, triangles, circles, ... and more)
- CandleStickChart (for financial data)
- BubbleChart (area covered by bubbles indicates the value)
- RadarChart (spider web chart)
Currently there's no need for documentation for the iOS/tvOS/OSX version, as the API is 95% the same as on Android.
You can read the official MPAndroidChart documentation here: Wiki
Or you can see the ChartsDemo project and learn the how-tos from it.
Goes to @liuxuan30, @petester42 and @AlBirdie for new features, bugfixes, and lots and lots of involvement in our open-sourced community! You guys are a huge help to all of those coming here with questions and issues, and I couldn't respond to all of those without you.
