In this section, we will discuss how to create XY Charts using ChartDirector
through a number of examples.
In ChartDirector, XY Chart refers to any chart that has x and y axes. These
include bar charts, line charts, spline line charts, stepline charts, scatter
charts, bubble charts, trend line charts, area charts, high-low-open-close
charts, candlestick charts, box-whisker charts, etc.
ChartDirector employs a layering architecture for XY charts. Each chart type is
represented as a layer on a plot area. You can include multiple layers on the
same plot area to create arbitrary combination charts.
For clarity and ease of understanding, this documentation is separated into
sections to explain each layer type individually. Please note that each XY chart
type is just a layer in the XY Chart, and you may freely combine them together
to create any arbitrary combination charts.
