iOS-Charts - Make a bar chart and field remaning with other color


I am trying to make a chart exactly as the guide lines of the designer but i am difficulty's in 3 of the things.

This is the guide lines:

Chart made by the designer

And this is what i have done:

Chart that i have made

As you can see it was supposed that the red bar had between self and the target a blue bar. Already try to create a second bar to see if stays behind but that did not work. This is what I tryed

BarChartDataSet *set2 = [[BarChartDataSet alloc] initWithYVals:yVals label:@""];

And then filed with blue bars with heigh of target. But din't work so i have remove that.

Other problem is the left axis labels it starts in zero, and did find way to work around.

The third and last problem is that the T for target stays over the line when the expected was to be after the line.

This is the code that used to obtain the chart:

 *
 *  @param  chartView   BarChartView object type
 *  @param  array   NSMutableArray with array of dictionaries

Solution

  • This is what i used for the chart. Your answer helped me a lot!

    func setChart(dataPoints: [String], values: [Double]) {
        barChartView.noDataText = "You need to provide data for the chart"
        var dataEntries: [BarChartDataEntry] = []
    
        for i in 0..<dataPoints.count {
            let dataEntry = BarChartDataEntry(value: values[i], xIndex: i)
            dataEntries.append(dataEntry)
        }
    
        let chartDataSet = BarChartDataSet(yVals: dataEntries, label: "")
        let chartData = BarChartData(xVals: months, dataSet: chartDataSet)
        barChartView.data = chartData
        barChartView.descriptionText = ""
        chartDataSet.colors = [UIColor(red: 1, green: 1, blue: 1, alpha: 1)]
    
    
        barChartView.xAxis.drawGridLinesEnabled = false
        barChartView.xAxis.drawLabelsEnabled = false
        barChartView.xAxis.labelWidth = 3
        barChartView.xAxis.axisLineWidth = 1
        barChartView.xAxis.labelTextColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
        barChartView.xAxis.axisLineColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
        barChartView.xAxis.labelPosition = .Bottom
    
    
        barChartView.rightAxis.enabled = false
    
    
    
        //barChartView.xAxis.labelTextColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
    
        barChartView.drawBarShadowEnabled = false
    
        barChartView.leftAxis.drawGridLinesEnabled = false
        barChartView.leftAxis.enabled = true
        barChartView.leftAxis.axisLineColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
        barChartView.leftAxis.labelTextColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
        barChartView.leftAxis.labelCount = 4
        barChartView.leftAxis.axisLineWidth = 1
    
        barChartView.legend.enabled = false
    
        //barChartView.borderLineWidth
    
    
    }
