Series Implementation in chart components

Question

Hi Everybody,
I want to design a custom line chart component for xcelsius. Unfortunately I could not add series to my chart component as it implemented in xcelsius line chart. I am new to xcelsius and I am not getting idea, when I will modify a property in component, how it will reflect in the property sheet. I don't know how the series part works in xcelsius components and each series holds its respective data.
Please help me.
Thanks.

Answer 1

Let me explain you with a simple example:
Data:
         Product 1, Product 2
2007, 10          , 20
2008, 30          , 50
2009, 40          , 60
Drag and drop line chart on canvas, and go to properties of the chart.
Select radio button By Series and click +
Name: Product 1
Values(Y): select the cells under product 1 i.e. 10, 30 and 40
Category Labels(X): Select cells that contains year i.e. 2007, 2008, 2009
Click + to add another series
Name: Product 2
Values(Y): select the cells under product 1 i.e. 20, 50 and 60
That's it...save and preview...you will understand how the series in this chart works.
