ChartDirector 7.0 (Java Edition)

Binary Data Series




This example demonstrates a chart representing binary data series.

A binary data series is a series with elements that can only assume two values. In this example, 0 and 1 are used to represent the two values.

There are plenty of methods to represent binary data series in a chart. In this example, three methods are demonstrated.
