An iOS port of the beautiful MPAndroidChart. - Beautiful charts for iOS apps!

Primary LanguageSwiftApache License 2.0Apache-2.0

Version 2.0.8, synced to MPAndroidChart #e0ff2af

Requires Swift 1.2, introduced in Xcode 6.3. Requires Xcode 6.3 beta 4!

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, both Android and iOS, 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...)

Documentation

Currently there's no need for documentation for the iOS 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.
