How to implement bar chart in iPhone?

Question

I am working in simple bar chart application, Using Coreplot to develop this application, then i try to implement the bar chart but i get the issue found in

  [__NSCFConstantString sizeWithTextStyle:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fb4c'
   First throw call stack:

How to fix this? please help me

Thanks in Advance

I tried this:

Viewcontroller.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "CorePlot-CocoaTouch.h"


@interface GraphViewController : UIViewController <CPTPlotDataSource>
{
    CPTXYGraph *barChart;
    NSTimer *timer;
    NSMutableArray *samples;
}

-(void) getGraphValues;

@end

You know what that error message means, correct? (And appending the call stack at the point of error would be very helpful in diagnosing this.) – Yonatan

Answer 1

Make sure you set the -all_load "other linker flag" in the build settings. That flag forces the system to load all category methods like -sizeWithTextStyle:.

Sorry to say this, can u please geive any example for this – Citron

Have you read the Core Plot wiki? – Propagate

Answer 2

As Eric has explained, you need to se the -all_load flag in the build settings. In case you are wondering where this exactly is have a look at this picture. Good luck!

For all who had the same trouble as I did locating the linker settings, make sure "All" settings is selected instead of the default "Basic" settings. I hate make files. – Appointment
