Axis Charts:Axis charts include all charts that contain axes. The data is plotted according to
where it lies along the edges (axes) of the chart. An axis chart contains a horizontal
axis and a vertical axis. The horizontal axis is called the X-axis. The vertical axis is
called the Y-axis. An axis chart can contain multiple X-axes and Y-axes.
FLEXPCharting currently has 25 types including the following types of axis charts:
Bar charts
StackedBar charts
Line charts
Area charts
StackedArea charts
HiLo charts
RSI charts
EMA charts
Stochastic charts
Step charts

Bubble charts
You can build axis charts that contain multiple series (sets of data), such as clustered
bar charts or multiple-line area charts, annotations, and dwell labels.
The rest of this section describes the variations in axis charts.
BarCharts - Bar charts compare one or more sets of values by using rectangles whose lengths
are proportional to the values. You can use vertical or horizontal bars.

Sophisticated and Flexible Date support
Often you need to plot dates that are discontinuous, for example stock data is often only available for mon-fri, other chart packages force you to treat Date as continuous values and leave gaps in the chart for non-allowed dates or the force you to treat the Dates a distinct categories but is then unable to group data into calendar month, week or quarters as each category is just a string. Other solution require you to specify all the "missing" dates an impractical cumbersome process when you need to plot different financial markets with many different holidays. With FLEXPCharting we provide a hybrid category/value axis for Dates. They can handle any discontinuous range of dates just as a category axis but it can also determine the underlying periodicity of the data and provide the appropriate grouping and labelling of the axis.
Extensibility
Using an AS3 class based approach FLEXPCharting provides a simple API to allow new chart types to be created and added to the core intrinsic chat types.
