Stock Chart's main purpose is to display financial charts, however it can be used for visualizing any date-based data.
Stock Chart is a powerful application that lets you forget about most of the boring parts in building complex statistical systems. It has built-in period and data set selection tools, and can group data to longer periods. You might notice that Stock Chart has some key differences compared to other amCharts. Stock Chart uses CSV as its data format and not XML, and it does not support labels and some other functions. However, other features compensate for the lack of those mentioned.
Key features:
- Supports Line, Column, Candlestick, OHLC, Step Line and Area chart types;
- Can display data at irregular intervals
If there are more data points in the selected period than indicated, the data can be grouped into longer periods – weeks, months, years. You can choose the value that you want to show for the period – open, close, average, sum, low or high.
