Combined charts (line and bar)

Question

Where in Apex do we set which series is "Line" and which one is "Bar"? I saw the examples listed in the Anychart website but I'm getting the data as a result of SQL command in Apex so I don't have control of the series tags within the data section. Help please.

You may use pl/sql to generate JavaScript to create chart object and to generate xml for the chart.
Create a Dynamic PL/SQL region in the page.
copy following code to the source code for PL/SQL
DECLARE
chartData varchar2 (10000);
BEGIN
chartData:='<anychart>
<charts>
<chart>
<data>
<series name="Year 2003" type="Bar">
<point name = "A" y="2166"/>
<point name = "B" y="630"/>
<point name = "C" y="1662"/>
<point name = "D" y="1862"/>
<point name = "E" y="750"/>
<point name = "F" y="300"/>
</series>
<series name="Year 2000" type="Line">
<point name = "A" y="1160"/>
<point name = "B" y="930"/>
<point name = "C" y="1162"/>
<point name = "D" y="1362"/>
<point name = "E" y="350"/>
<point name = "F" y="300"/>
</series>
</data>
</chart>
</charts>
</anychart>';
HTP.p
<div id="combiChart" >
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
    var chart = new AnyChart("/i/flashchart/swf/AnyChart.swf");
    chart.width = "500";
    chart.height = "300";
    var cData=''' || chartData  || ''';
    chart.setData(cData);      
    chart.write("combiChart");
    </script>
END;After pasting to the code window you may be required to remove any carriage returns within above xml data. I put carriage return for clarity of xml structure.
For further customization refer to Anychart xml reference.
