Welcome to the fourth (and probably final) post in my series about building a range selector using ShinobiCharts for iOS. If you haven’t already read the previous parts then it might be worth a look to describe how we got to where we are now (part I, part II, part III). In this post we’re going to look at a couple of things: When we first start the app the range selector should be showing a default range. At the moment it shows the entire range as being selected, but this isn’t ideal. We’ll look at how to specify an initial range. We’re going to add a value annotation, which displays the value of the right-most datapoint visible on the chart. This will take the form of a horizontal line across the chart with a text label at the right hand side.
