Area Graphs Data Requirements

Using ADF Graph Components 24-13 Scatter graphs have either a single y-axis or a dual y-axis. Each data marker in a scatter graph represents two values: ■ The first data value is the X value. It determines the marker’s location along the x-axis. ■ The second data value is the Y value. It determines the marker’s location along the y-axis. Data guidelines for scatter graphs are: ■ Scatter graphs require two data values for each marker. ■ For more than one group of data, the data must be in multiples of two.

24.3.12 Sparkchart Data Requirements

Sparkcharts are used for displaying trends or variations in a single series of data values. They are condensed, simple visualizations designed to be stamped in a table or used inline with text. Since sparkcharts contain no labels, the adjacent columns of a table or surrounding text provide context for sparkchart content. Sparkcharts do not accept tabular data or graphDataModel. Data guidelines for sparkcharts are: ■ Line, bar, and area sparkcharts require a single series of data values. Figure 24–3 shows an example of a line sparkchart in a table column. Figure 24–3 Line Sparkchart ■ Floating bar sparkcharts require two series of data values, one for the float offset, and one for the bar value Figure 24–4 shows an example of a floating bar sparkchart in a table column.

24.3.13 Stock Graph Data Requirements

Stock graphs display stock prices and, optionally, the volume of trading for one or more stocks in a graph. When any stock or candle stock graph includes the volume of trading, the volume appears as bars in the lower part of the graph. Candle stock graphs display stock prices and, optionally, the volume of trading for only a single stock. When a candle stock graph includes the volume of trading, the volume appears as bars in the lower part of the graph. Candle stock graphs also show the lesser of the open and close values at the bottom of the candle. The greater value appears at the top of the candle. If the closing value is
