Data

The data in stocks should be formatted as a table, there are two ways of setting it: as an array of arrays or as an array of objects.

Here is how to set data as an array of arrays, array contains values and then you map the data set to tell the component which column contains values.

// set the data
table = anychart.data.table();
table.addData([
    ['2016-01-01', 1.0860],
    ['2016-01-04', 1.0832],
    ['2016-01-05', 1.0780],
    ['2016-01-06', 1.0781],
    ['2016-01-07', 1.0936],
    ['2016-01-08', 1.0932]
]);

// map the data
mapping = table.mapAs();
mapping.addField('value', 1);

The next sample contains the same data arranged as array of objects.

// set the data
table = anychart.data.table('x');
table.addData([
    {'x':"2016-01-01", 'value': 1.0860},
    {'x':"2016-01-04", 'value': 1.0832},
    {'x':"2016-01-05", 'value': 1.0780},
    {'x':"2016-01-06", 'value': 1.0781},
    {'x':"2016-01-07", 'value': 1.0936},
    {'x':"2016-01-08", 'value': 1.0932},
]);

// map the data
mapping = table.mapAs({x: 'x', value: 'value'});

Multi series

Simple multiple-series chart:

// set the series
var series_euro = chart.plot(0).line(mapping_euro);
series_euro.name("Euro to Dollar Rate");
var series_rub = chart.plot(0).line(mapping_rub);
series_rub.name("Rub to Dollar Rate");

Multiple series on different plots:

// set the series
var series_euro = chart.plot(0).line(mapping_euro);
series_euro.name("Euro to Dollar Rate");

var series_rub = chart.plot(1).line(mapping_rub);
series_rub.name("Rub to Dollar Rate");

Read more about plots in the Plots tutorial.

Switching series type

You can change the type of the series to another compatible type. See the Series Type and series types table.

To switch the series use seriesType() method.

Appearance

To set the stroke color for the line series use stroke().

// coloring
series_euro.stroke("#ff0000");
