– Overall speed is average.
– The third and the fifth graphs are slow when filtering.
– Switching themes causes the screen to blink.
– The design does not fully comply with the guidelines (e.g. data filters change their positions).

Filtering graph #5 is critically slow.

Very poor performance on the area chart: frame drawing time greatly exceeds 16ms.

Area charts made with paths and it's not hardware acc. it could be improved by switching to openGL.

Performance really depends on device and OS.

Agree that overall this particular chart could be improvement by getting rid of non hw acc. path approach.

Since design of active & inactive button have different width ('done' mark width is the issue) there is no way to keep them in the same places after toggling.

2. Y scaled chart. Y scaled wrap animation is shart. Also, auto wrap logic is calculated in the wrong way at some point (2nd video).

Thx for the review.
In terms of wrong calculation - in my implementation I just compute boarded values +- threshold (to show lines beyond real borders) and also computes it's values as max/min possible, that's why it could be scaled awkward at first glance (min/max value is out of the visible bounds).

It could be a bugs or a future depends on requirements.

3a. Stack Bar Chart. Strange empty spaces at the edges of the preview widget (apply to all charts) (pointed on video with touch).
3b. 0 value Y-line also always animated but should be static

3a. It comes from requirements:
there is a range selection on control view and we need to make some assumprion about which part of the control should correlate to which part of real graph - the start/end of draggable control OR start/end of mask between draggable controls. According to provided designs and plain logic I've decided that start/end of control should correspond to graph and in that case we need margins from side in control to have consistent state between chart and control view (chart has margin as per designs)

3.b Agreem forget to disable this animation, my bad, thx.

I would disagree with Fancy Starfish. Performance is quite good. Why performance of widget could not be judged on stack bar overlays (first screenshot here) you could read Dreamy Griffin answer (#50)

But this app does have issues.
1. Again. Wrong Auto Height Wrap logic. I think the problem is due to throttling. (Good performance but wrong logic). I think that at first place logic and calculation must be correct. And only then steps must be taken to improve performance. Not vice versa.

It's not a bug it's a feature ;) see my answer below. But again, thx for such accurate testing and bug reporting, appreciate it!

5. Percentage Stack Bar. Sometimes filtering/appear/disappear animations could be ended abruptly. Also for Stack Bar Charts.

Agree, I have the same timer for animation, if you start animation it take ~400ms for animation and even you start next animation afterwards it should be in the same time frame (within the same 400ms) and e.g. is you start next collapsing one at 399ms you just have 1ms to collapse line.

4. Stack Bar Chart "Views". Edges are calculated (and shifted) SLIGHTLY wrong during expanding/narrowing.
See left edge relatively to zero. At the biggest scale chart's first bar start coincides with zero text start, but at the lowest scale, bar start coincides approximately zero center

Sorry but I don't get your point but again thx for a review!
