Chart with autolayout

autolayout.swift

// NOTE: you may have to set the module in the storyboard to "SwiftCharts", otherwise the view may not be recognized correctly, which leads to axis, labels and guidelines not showing

                coordsSpace.xAxis,
                coordsSpace.yAxis,
                guidelinesLayer,

        self.chart = chart
    }
    
    func rotated() {
        for view in self.chartView.subviews {
            view.removeFromSuperview()
        }
        self.initChart()
    }
}

Genius! That's amazing. Now rotation works perfectly 👍
I'm sorry, I don't like using betas so I didn't know about swift2.0 and the change in Array(stride:) definition.
How can I quote your library in my App?

Hey there - I'm using this sample code in my app and if I call initChart after the view is rendered (after getting some data from a server) only the curve layer is displayed (the axis are not) - any idea of what I'm doing wrong?

here is how you can repro the issue using latest sample code:

• add a UIView to the iPhone storyboard in DetailView Controller/View
  -> call view chartView and make it an outlet to the Detail class
• update (aka hack) DetailViewController.swift as follow (mainly using the sample code from above)

results: click on any example, details view is shown - results: after 2 sec the graph is shown but the axis layers are not shown... self.chartView.setNeedsDisplay seems to have no effect - Any idea of what I'm missing? Thanks!

Hi! How can I add this: "@IBOutlet weak var chartView: ChartBaseView!" ? I not see ChartBaseView when i drag UIView to the class and I can't convert my UIView to ChartBaseView. Can somebody please help me? Thanks!

Hi, I tried to rewrite UIView to ChartBaseView to IBOutlet and I have the same problem as reivax (axis are missing). Did you resolve this? Thank you!
