Build Supported Platforms Releases Latest pod release Carthage compatible

Just a heads up: Charts 5.0 has some breaking changes. Charts has now been renamed DGCharts to prevent conflicts with Apple's new Swift Charts. Please read the release/migration notes.

One more heads up: As Swift evolves, if you are not using the latest Swift compiler, you shouldn't check out the master branch. Instead, you should go to the release page and pick up whatever suits you.

Okay so there's this beautiful library called MPAndroidChart by Philipp Jahoda which has become very popular amongst Android developers, but there was no decent solution to create charts 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, for Android, iOS, tvOS and macOS, 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...)

Having trouble running the demo?

Usage

In order to correctly compile:

  1. Drag the DGCharts.xcodeproj to your project
  2. Go to your target's settings, hit the "+" under the "Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content" section, and select the DGCharts.framework
  3. @import DGCharts
  4. When using Swift in an ObjC project:
  1. When using Realm.io:
    • Note that the Realm framework is not linked with Charts - it is only there for optional bindings. Which means that you need to have the framework in your project, and in a compatible version to whatever is compiled with DGCharts. We will do our best to always compile against the latest version.
    • You'll need to add ChartsRealm as a dependency too.

Troubleshooting

Can't compile?

Other problems / feature requests

CocoaPods Install

Add pod 'DGCharts' to your Podfile. "DGCharts" is the name of the library.
For Realm support, please add pod 'ChartsRealm' too.

Note: pod 'ios-charts' is not the correct library, and refers to a different project by someone else.

Carthage Install

DGCharts now include Carthage prebuilt binaries.

github "ChartsOrg/Charts" == 5.1.0
github "ChartsOrg/Charts" ~> 5.1.0

In order to build the binaries for a new release, use carthage build --no-skip-current && carthage archive Charts.

Swift Package Manager Install

Swift Package Manager

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/ChartsOrg/Charts.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "5.1.0"))
]

3rd party bindings

Xamarin (by @Flash3001): iOS - GitHub/NuGet. Android - GitHub/NuGet.

Documentation

Currently there's no need for documentation for the iOS/tvOS/macOS 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 Charts Demo project in both Objective-C and Swift (ChartsDemo-iOS, as well as macOS ChartsDemo-macOS) and learn the how-tos from it.

Special Thanks

Goes to @liuxuan30, @pmairoldi, @jjatie and @AlBirdie for new features, bugfixes, and lots and lots of involvement in our open-sourced community! You guys are a huge help to all of those coming here with questions and issues, and I couldn't respond to all of those without you.

Charts
What is this?Charts (now renamed DGCharts) is a charting library for Apple platforms — iOS, tvOS, and macOS — that lets you draw line, bar, pie, scatter, candlestick, bubble, and radar charts in your app. It is the Apple-side counterpart to the popular Android library MPAndroidChart, sharing nearly the same API.
Is it a framework or a library?It's a Swift framework/library you embed into your own app, not a standalone app — you drag the DGCharts.xcodeproj into your project and link the DGCharts.framework.
How do I add it to a project?You can install it via CocoaPods (pod 'DGCharts'), Carthage (prebuilt binaries included), Swift Package Manager, or manually by dragging the Xcode project and embedding the framework plus importing the bridging header for Objective-C projects.
Do I need a specific Xcode or Swift version?The master branch requires Xcode 14 / Swift 5.7 and targets iOS 12+, tvOS 12+, and macOS 10.13+; for older Swift compilers you should check out a tagged release instead of master.
Is 'ios-charts' on CocoaPods the right pod to install?No — the pod named 'ios-charts' is a different, unrelated project; the correct pod is 'DGCharts' (and 'ChartsRealm' if you want Realm.io binding support).
Who is this library for?iOS, tvOS, and macOS developers (Swift or Objective-C) who need charting in their apps, especially teams already using MPAndroidChart on Android who want a near-identical API on Apple platforms.
Does it support macOS and tvOS, not just iOS?Yes — it ships with separate demo projects for iOS/tvOS and for macOS, and works across all three Apple platforms.
What chart types are included out of the box?Eight chart types: line, bar (including grouped and horizontal), pie, scatter, candlestick, bubble, radar, and combined charts that mix bar/line/scatter/candlestick/bubble in one view.
Can I bind chart data directly to a database?Yes, it supports plotting data directly from the Realm.io mobile database via the separate ChartsRealm dependency.
Why was the library renamed to DGCharts?It was renamed from Charts to DGCharts to avoid naming conflicts with Apple's own Swift Charts framework, introduced as part of the 5.0 release with some breaking changes.
Is there written documentation for the API?There's no separate iOS-specific documentation since the API is about 95% the same as MPAndroidChart's; you're pointed to the Android library's wiki and the included Objective-C/Swift demo projects instead.
What are similar projects?AFNetworking, CocoaAsyncSocket, firebase-ios-sdk, SwiftyJSON, SVProgressHUD, realm-swift, Spring, awesome-ios-ui
Which topics is it in?tvos, objective-c, charts, mobile-development, data-visualization, swift, animation, sdk, mobile, ios, gui, apache-2.0
