_chart.line

(Merge only)

This method draws a horizontal line graph.

Syntax

_chart.line(data [, options])

Parameters

data is a script array of data points to be charted. See _chart Data for formatting details. options is a script object whose properties define various presentation options. See the _chart Display Options for details.

Returned Value

true if successful, false if an error occurred.

Description

The data array contains a list of data sets to be drawn as overlapping horizontal line graphs. The _chart.line() routine must be called from a containing object, typically a Group object. The chart is drawn within this object. Lines are drawn horizontally from the left to right on the chart. Data is provided as a series of primary (X-axis) data sets, each with one or more data values (Y-axis). Each X-axis data set creates a single connected line graph. See the _chart Display Options for details on how to modify colors, legends, fonts, etc.

Example

var data = [['Date', 'LBS/HR', '2nd LBS/HR']
