FLEX Chart: Using multiple data series

Charts that are subclasses of the CartesianChart class let you mix different data series in the same chart control. You can create a column chart with a trend line running through it or mix any data series with any other similar series.

The following chart tracks two stocks, one represented by a column (using a ColumnSeries) and the other represented by a line (using a LineSeries):

 

You can use any combination of the following series objects in a CartesianChart control:

• AreaSeries
• BarSeries
• BubbleSeries
• CandlestickSeries
• ColumnSeries
• HLOCSeries
• LineSeries
• PlotSeries

The following example mixes a LineSeries and a ColumnSeries:

Using multiple series in the same chart works best when the data points are in a similar range (such as a stock price and its moving average). When the data points are in numerically very different ranges, the chart can be difficult to understand because the data is shown on a single axis. The solution to this problem is to use multiple axes, each with its own range. You can plot each data series on its own axis within the same chart using the techniques described in Using multiple axes.
