Question

this is my first question here. I am trying to create an app for chart analysis in Objective-C. Is there a good solution to show a stock chart in a view and at the same time be able to draw lines on this chart. Just like in this picture shown: http://gb2007.deutsche-euroshop.de/des/annual/2007/gb//German/60/30/grafik_1_chartanalyse.gif

I am pretty new to programming and doing this exercise for a school project. Feel free to present every solution i really need the right idea to succeed.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Seems like the "go to" solution (in other words, the one everyone runs to) is CorePlot, which you can find on GitHub at:

https://github.com/core-plot

And there's a RayWenderlich tutorial on stock charts with CorePlot, however his (or their) tutorials are more geared for iOS so you may have to do a bit of adjusting to make things work with MacOS. At least you'll be in the same neighborhood (using Objective-C, CorePlot, etc.).

I suspect any solution is going to be a bit "heavy" (or too much) for you to consider as a new programmer. Graphics & plotting within an app can be really intimidating, and you should try to get a couple other projects under your belt and in your portfolio first.
