A series represents a grouping of related data points. The most important characteristic of a series is its type, which determines a particular visual representation of data.

The Chart dashboard item includes the following series types.

  • Charts_SeriesTypes_Bar_Icon A Bar series displays data as sets of rectangular bars with lengths proportional to the values that they represent.
  • Charts_SeriesTypes_Line_Icon Point and Line series display data as standalone points or points joined by a line.
  • Charts_SeriesTypes_Area_Icon An Area series displays data by a line that joins points, and the shaded area between the line and the argument axis.
  • Charts_SeriesTypes_RangeArea_Icon A Range series is the area between two simple series displayed as a shaded area, or bars that stretch from a point in one series to the corresponding point in another series.
  • Charts_SeriesTypes_Bubble_Icon A Weighted series displays data using a third dimension, expressed by a bubble's size.
  • Charts_SeriesTypes_HighLowClose_Icon Financial series are useful in analyzing stock and bond prices, as well as the behavior of commodities.
