I am trying to create a nice gradient fill as seen in the demos on the ios-charts page. However, I cannot figure this out in swift vs obj-c.
Here is the obj-c code:
NSArray *gradientColors = @[
(id)[ChartColorTemplates colorFromString:@"#00ff0000"].CGColor,
(id)[ChartColorTemplates colorFromString:@"#ffff0000"].CGColor
];
CGGradientRef gradient = CGGradientCreateWithColors(nil, (CFArrayRef)gradientColors, nil);
set1.fillAlpha = 1.f;
set1.fill = [ChartFill fillWithLinearGradient:gradient angle:90.f];
Now here is my version of that in swift:
let gradColors = [UIColor.cyanColor().CGColor, UIColor.init(red: 0.0, green: 0.0, blue: 0.0, alpha: 0.0)]
let colorLocations:[CGFloat] = [0.0, 1.0]
let gradient = CGGradientCreateWithColors(CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB(), gradColors, colorLocations)
What I am missing is the :
Chart Fill fillWithLinearGradient
I can't find the fillWithLinearGradient in the pod anywhere so I am a bit confused.
Thanks in advance for any help!

This works perfectly (Swift 3.1 and ios-charts 3.0.1)
let gradientColors = [UIColor.cyan.cgColor, UIColor.clear.cgColor] as CFArray // Colors of the gradient
let colorLocations:[CGFloat] = [1.0, 0.0] // Positioning of the gradient
let gradient = CGGradient.init(colorsSpace: CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB(), colors: gradientColors, locations: colorLocations) // Gradient Object
yourDataSetName.fill = Fill.fillWithLinearGradient(gradient!, angle: 90.0) // Set the Gradient
set.drawFilledEnabled = true // Draw the Gradient
Result
I believe this is the code that you are looking for. You should be able to use the same ChartFill
class in Swift to set set1.fill
.
let gradColors = [UIColor.cyanColor().CGColor, UIColor.clearColor.CGColor]
let colorLocations:[CGFloat] = [0.0, 1.0]
if let gradient = CGGradientCreateWithColors(CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB(), gradColors, colorLocations) {
set1.fill = ChartFill(linearGradient: gradient, angle: 90.0)
}
For swift4
let colorTop = UIColor(red: 255.0/255.0, green: 149.0/255.0, blue: 0.0/255.0, alpha: 1.0).cgColor
let colorBottom = UIColor(red: 255.0/255.0, green: 94.0/255.0, blue: 58.0/255.0, alpha: 1.0).cgColor
let gradientColors = [colorTop, colorBottom] as CFArray
let colorLocations:[CGFloat] = [0.0, 1.0]
let gradient = CGGradient.init(colorsSpace: CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB(), colors: gradientColors, locations: colorLocations) // Gradient Object
yourDataSetName.fill = Fill.fillWithLinearGradient(gradient!, angle: 90.0)
Make sure to use the latest version of ios-charts. If you use CocoaPods to install ios-charts change this:
pod 'Charts'
to this
pod 'Charts', '~> 2.2'
