LightningChart JS 릴리스

Highlights:

• The DataSet Update:
  • The DataSet system has now been extended to cover 3D series and AreaRangeSeries, brought multi-threaded real-time FIFO data streaming, and gained new data property capabilities that make complex multi-series applications far simpler to architect.
• Updated MCP Server and Documentation:
  • The official LightningChart JS MCP Server makes it easier than ever to develop high-performance data visualization with AI agents. Install the MCP server and your agent switches from general-purpose open-source charting libraries to the most performance-optimized charts available for the web. The MCP server now supports both STDIO and HTTPS transport, making it compatible with the widest range of agent environments: Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code, OpenAI Codex and VS Code tools.
• Negative Log Axes and Symlog Charts:
  • LightningChart JS logarithmic axes now support negative values. This is a frequently requested capability in scientific and financial visualization, where data spans both positive and negative domains but the magnitude of change is more meaningful than the absolute value.
  • Symlog charts: Combining negative log axis support with stacked axes and the DataSet API, it is now possible to build a symlog chart a single chart that applies negative logarithmic scaling below zero, a linear scale near zero, and positive logarithmic scaling above zero. This chart type is particularly valuable in financial analytics, chemistry, and any domain where data spans many orders of magnitude on both sides of zero.
• Multi-Threaded Real-Time Streaming:
  • It is now possible to separate data-receiving work from the browser's main thread using the Web Workers API, freeing the main thread entirely for rendering and user interaction.
  • In internal testing, this approach achieved 20 charts each with 10 trends at 50,000 Hz, sustained at 60 FPS. That is 10 million data points per second displayed in a single web application, a number that has never been achievable in a browser environment before.
  • The new multi-threaded streaming system supports both FIFO (first-in, first-out) scrolling and garbage-collected history management, so long-running sessions do not accumulate unbounded memory even at high data ingestion rates.
• Reworked AreaRangeSeries:
  • AreaRangeSeries has been fully migrated to the DataSet-based design used by XY line, point, and other series types.
  • Massively improved performance: AreaRangeSeries performance is now on par with XY line and point series. Previous versions used a separate rendering path that limited the amount of data AreaRangeSeries could handle smoothly. With the DataSet migration, AreaRangeSeries can visualize the same data volumes as any other series type, at the same frame rates.
  • DataSet connectivity and memory sharing: AreaRangeSeries can now connect directly to LC DataSet objects. A single DataSet can feed a line series, a point series, and an AreaRangeSeries simultaneously with zero memory duplication.
  • This is a backwards incompatible change.
• DataSet Follow Mode:
  • DataSets can now be built by adding additional data properties on top of an existing DataSet object. This is useful in architectures where you have a top-level data routing layer that receives and stores incoming streams, but which does not know how the data will be visualized.
  • With DataSet Follow mode, the visualization layer can hook up to an upstream DataSet and select any columns from it to display in any series type, without duplicating any memory.
• DataSet Derived Data Properties:
  • The Derived Properties API allows you to pass custom math functions to a DataSet object to automatically calculate additional data columns as source data is fed in. A practical example: adding a Simple Moving Average (SMA) column to an incoming price feed without manual calculation in your data pipeline.
• 3D Series DataSet Connection and Automatic Data Cleaning:
  • 3D line series and 3D point series now connect to LC DataSet objects, enabling the same management APIs as XY series: setMaxSampleCount, readBack, and all other DataSet operations. A single DataSet can now feed both a standard XY chart and a 3D chart simultaneously with no memory duplication.
  • This change is accompanied by heavy performance optimizations to 3D series rendering, particularly for PointSeries3D. LiDAR point clouds and other high-density 3D datasets will see significant performance improvements simply by upgrading to v9.0.0.
• Freeform 3D Camera Movement:
  • Chart3D user interaction now supports a Blender-style, freeform 3D camera movement scheme. Standard 3D chart interaction uses orbit controls where the camera rotates around a fixed point. Freeform camera movement lets the user navigate through the 3D scene freely, moving position and changing the view direction independently. Ideal for exploring 3D LiDAR scenes, volumetric medical data, or any 3D dataset where the user needs to navigate inside the data rather than orbit around it.
• BigInt64Array Storage Support:
  • LC DataSet objects now directly support storing BigInt data types via BigInt64Array typed arrays. This covers three common use cases:
    • Nanosecond timestamps: Standard JavaScript floats lose precision for nanosecond Unix timestamps. BigInt64 stores them exactly.
    • Parquet files: Apache Parquet's INT64 type maps directly to BigInt64Array for lossless data loading.
    • Generic large integer storage: Any use case where integer data does not fit in float64.
  • The LC series do not support direct visualization of BigInt data type, so there is still a conversion step that must be done before. For details refer to the nanosecond timestamps guide. This change makes it easy to store the original BigInt alongside the converted values for usage in cursors, readback, custom interactions, etc.

More Information:

• Added setDataSet and other DataSetXY APIs to PointSeries3D, PointCloudSeries3D, LineSeries3D and PointLineSeries3D.
• Added DataSet.readBackSingle, PointLineAreaSeries.readBackSingle.
• Added DataSetOptions.followDataSet.
• Added combineAttachables for combining several series into 1 shared legend entry.
• Added DataSet capability to store bigint data types.
  • This was previously possible via nonNumeric option, but this was not optimal as internally they would be stored in Array rather than BigInt64Array.
  • bigint properties can't be connected to series (they still have to be converted to Float64 or other format for visualization), but this addition makes it easy to store the original bigint sample values for easy lookup if required.
• Added derived dataset property feature.
  • Allows specifying a custom calculation callback in DataSet schema for automatically calculating derived properties.
  • Additionally, built-in options are accessible via builtInDataDerivations.
• Default axis type changed from linear to linear-highPrecision.
