Stock Chart

Stock chart is used to illustrate fluctuations in data over a time. It can represent fluctuations in stock, rainfall, or annual temperatures. The data arranged in columns or rows of a worksheet can be plotted in a Stock chart.

DsExcel supports the following types of Stock charts.

Chart Type	Chart Snapshot	Use Case
StockHLC		A high-low-close chart displays the data values organized in the order: high, low, close with the close value lying in between the high and low values.
StockOHLC		An open-high-low-close chart displays the data values organized in the order: open, high, low and close.
StockVHLC		A volume-high-low-close chart displays the data values organized in the order: volume, high, low and close.
StockVOHLC		A volume-open-high-low-close chart displays the data values organized in the order : volume, open, high, low and close.

Using Code

Refer the following code to add StockVOHLC chart:

private static void StockCharts() {
    // Initialize workbook
    Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
    // Fetch default worksheet
    IWorksheet worksheet = workbook.getWorksheets().get(0);

    // Prepare data for chart
    worksheet.getRange("A1:D17")
            .setValue(new Object[][] { { null, "High", "Low", "Close" },
                    { new GregorianCalendar(2019, 9, 1), 105.76, 92.38, 100.94 },
