Select the chart series for your data by clicking the corresponding chart type:

 

Surface

Plots the information as three-dimensional surfaces. Surface series require three components along the x-, y-, and z-axes for plotting.

 

Contour

Plots the information as three-dimensional contours. Contour series require three components along the x-, y-, and z-axes for plotting.

 

NoteThe current implementation for surface and contour series require the x- and y-components to be provided as integer numbers. Also, the number of points in any one dimension cannot exceed 500 to a maximum of 250,000 points.

 

TipIf the number of points in your data exceeds 500 in any one dimension, consider plotting the information as a Point 3-D series.

 

Point 3-D

Plots the information as a three-dimensional scatter graph. Point 3-D series require three components along the x-, y-, and z-axes for plotting. There are no restrictions for the number of points for Point 3-D series.

 

TimeSaverIf the display of your Point 3-D series is slow, consider setting the point Style to Small Dots.

 

Bezier

Plots the information as Bezier spline curves. Bezier series require two components along the x- and y-axes for plotting.

 

NoteRendering for Bezier series is carried out by the corresponding native operating system function.

 

Error

Plots the information as error lines. Error series require three components in two-dimensions to plot: the x- and y-coordinates, plus the absolute size of the error, which is added to and subtracted from the y-coordinate at each point.

 

Candle

Plots the information as candle high and low bars. Candle series require five components in two-dimensions to plot: the x-coordinate, and the open, low, high, and close values for each point in the given order.

 

Volume

Plots the information as directed thin bars. These series behave very much like Bar series except that bars are displayed as non-stackable thin lines. Volume series require two components along the x- and y-axes for plotting.

 

Polar

Plots the information in polar coordinates. Polar series require two components along the x- and y-axes for plotting. These series plot x-values as angles from 0 degrees and y-values as distances from the origin of a circle.

 

NoteWhen plotting Polar and polar-related series, the range of original x-values is mapped to 360 degrees.

 

Radar

Plots the information in polar coordinates. Radar series require two components along the x- and y-axes for plotting. These series behave exactly like Polar series, with the exceptions that the series are inscribed in a polygon of as many angles as points in the graph, and the origin for the angle values is taken at the top vertical bisectrix of the polygon.
