In this section, we will discuss how to create XY Charts using ChartDirector through a number of examples.
In ChartDirector, XY Charts refer to charts that have x and y axes. These include bar charts, line charts, spline line charts, trend line charts, step line charts, scatter charts, bubble charts, vector charts, area charts, floating box charts, box-whisker charts, waterfall charts, gantt charts, contour charts, heat maps, finance 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 combination charts.
For clarity and ease of understanding, this documentation is separated into sections to explain the various chart types. Please note that each chart type is just a layer in the XY Chart, and you may freely combine them together to create combination charts.
