About Flex Charting 2
The ability to display data in a chart or graph can make data interpretation much easier for
application users. Rather than present a simple table of numeric data, you can display a bar,
pie, line, or other type of chart using colors, captions, and a two-dimensional representation
of your data.
Flex Charting components extend the Flex framework to add support for many of the most
common chart types, including bar, pie, line, plot, and bubble. Charting components are
dynamically rendered on the client computer, making it easy to add drill-down, rollover, and
other interactivity that enhance the user experience. You can also use colors and captions to
make your charts more readable.
A simple chart shows a single data series, where a series is a group of related data points. For
example, a data series might be monthly sales revenues, or daily occupancy rates for a hotel.
The following chart shows a single data series that corresponds to sales revenues for six
months:
