Charts - SignalR Service

This example demonstrates a real-time data update in a financial candlestick chart bound to a SignalR server. Note that data used in this demo is for demonstration purposes only.

To integrate the Chart with a SignalR server, specify a CustomStore. Use the CustomStore's push(changes) method to insert, update, and remove data objects. This method accepts an array and allows you to update data in batches.

To display updated data in real time, use the aggregation configuration object. In this object, set the enabled property to true, the method property to custom, and then implement the calculate function to process the incoming data. In this demo, the calculate function aggregates data into a one point for each interval.

You can also use the contentTemplate function to update the tooltip content with incoming data.
