How can I hide 0 values on ios-chart?

Question

I know that it is possible to hide y values when their values are equal to 0 on MPAndroidChart using a custom class for your value formatter (MPAndroidChart: Hide 0 value labels in a stacked bar chart).

Despite this, I am not able to create the same class on Swift 3.0 or get any other way to do this. I tried to "translate" the custom class from Java to Swift 3.0 without success (I can copy the code of what I have tried if you want but it is full of errors).

Is it possible to hide y values when they are equals to 0 on ios-chart library?

P.S: I am using Swift 3.0.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I made it happen on a PieChart in one of my apps just like that :

    ...
    let dataSet = PieChartDataSet(yVals: yVals, label: nil)

    // This is where the magic happen
    // You set a NSNumberFormatter with an empty zero Symbol
    let noZeroFormatter = NumberFormatter()
    noZeroFormatter.zeroSymbol = ""
    dataSet.valueFormatter = ChartDefaultValueFormatter(formatter: noZeroFormatter)

    let chartData = PieChartData(xVals: xVals, dataSet: dataSet)
    ...

if you want to add % in in your graph as well as hide/remove 0.0 values from graph :

used below lines of code for # Swift 3:-

   func updateChartData()  {

        let chart = PieChartView(frame: mViewOutlet.frame)
//         let chart = PieChartView(frame: CGRect(x: 122, y: 235 , width: self.mViewOutlet.frame.size.width, height: self.mViewOutlet.frame.size.height))


        // 2. generate chart data entries
        let track = ["Present","Leave", "EG/LC", "Halfday", "Absent", "Weeklyoff", "Holidays"]
        //        let money = [65, 13, 10, 2]
        let money = mDaysArray

        var entries = [PieChartDataEntry]()
        for (index, value) in money.enumerated() {
            print("index: \(index) \n value: \(value)")
            let entry = PieChartDataEntry()

            if value != 0 {
                 entry.y = Double(value)
            }else{

            }
            entries.append(entry)
//            entry.label = track[index]  // if we want to remove name label
        }

        // 3. chart setup
        let set = PieChartDataSet( values: entries, label: "Pie Chart")
        // this is custom extension method. Download the code for more details.

        //4. set chart color
        let presentColor = UIColor(red: 80.0/255.0, green: 180.0/255.0, blue: 50.0/255.0, alpha: 1.0)
        //        let lateColor = UIColor(red: 241.0/255.0, green: 194.0/255.0, blue: 114.0/255.0, alpha: 1.0)
        let leaveColor = UIColor(red: 203.0/255.0, green: 68.0/255.0, blue: 242.0/255.0, alpha: 1.0)
        let egColor = UIColor(red: 95.0/255.0, green: 180.0/255.0, blue: 239.0/255.0, alpha: 1.0)
        let halfdayColor = UIColor(red: 82.0/255.0, green: 64.0/255.0, blue: 152.0/255.0, alpha: 1.0)
        let absentColor = UIColor(red: 242.0/255.0, green: 58.0/255.0, blue: 02.0/255.0, alpha: 1.0)
        let weekOffColor = UIColor(red: 186.0/255.0, green: 221.0/255.0, blue: 79.0/255.0, alpha: 1.0)
        let holidayColor = UIColor(red: 35.0/255.0, green: 215.0/255.0, blue: 179.0/255.0, alpha: 1.0)

        let colors: [UIColor] = [presentColor,leaveColor,egColor,halfdayColor,absentColor,weekOffColor,holidayColor]

        set.colors = colors
        let data = PieChartData(dataSet: set)

        let formatter = NumberFormatter()
        formatter.numberStyle = .percent
        formatter.maximumFractionDigits = 2
        formatter.multiplier = 1.0
        formatter.percentSymbol = "%"
        formatter.zeroSymbol = ""
        data.setValueFormatter(DefaultValueFormatter(formatter: formatter))

        chart.data = data
        chart.noDataText = "No data available"
         chart.usePercentValuesEnabled = true
        // user interaction
        chart.isUserInteractionEnabled = false

        let d = Description()
//        d.text = "iOSCharts.io"
        chart.chartDescription = d
//        chart.tintColor = UIColor.black
//        chart.centerText = "Pie Chart"

        chart.holeRadiusPercent = 0.2
        chart.chartDescription?.enabled = false
        chart.legend.enabled = false

        chart.data?.notifyDataChanged()
        chart.notifyDataSetChanged()
        chart.setNeedsDisplay()
        chart.animate(xAxisDuration: 1.3, yAxisDuration: 1.3)

        chart.transparentCircleColor = UIColor.clear
//        self.view.addSubview(chart)
        self.mPieChartMainView.addSubview(chart)
    }
