Hi,

I’ve implemented the Growth Chart React component on our platform and it works well on a desktop browser. However we also support viewing the growth chart in a webview on our mobile app. The chart appears correctly, but the zoom function doesn’t kick in with pinch and zoom gesture. 

I just wanted to check if  I should disable the zoom (so that the reset zoom button disappears) or if there is a config setting I’ve missed or other way to get that working.

Thanks

Simon

Thanks Simon! As you say, the charts have not been designed for mobile usage - we even hide the demo page on mobile.

We do mention this the documentation but a little buried:

> Currently the RCPCH Digital Growth Charts React Component Library do not support mobile screens. It is likely that chart visualisation will need to be reimagined for the smaller screen. This is on the RCPCH roadmap.

We wouldn’t advise using the charts as they are on mobile. We have done some work on a mobile chart in our work in progress app ( https://forum.rcpch.tech/t/digital-growth-charts-app-start-here/608 ) - but that is written in Flutter which is not really going to integrate with React etc.

Whilst we won’t have time to develop mobile charts further in the short term I’d be really keen to hear who will use your chart on mobile?

In particular:

* What screen sizes are you aiming for? Phone or tablet
* Has a particular specialty or unit asked for mobile charts?

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the reply.

I’ve asked the question about the screen size requirement etc to our Product team. Regarding the flutter app, if it can be deployed as single page PWA and displayed in a webview it may work for us, that is essentially how we are using the React component anyway as our mobile apps are not React based they are just native.
