Data charts are charts that can be bound. Any series in any of the plot types can be bound to a data source using the data source property in the series class. You can use any of these types of data sources:

*   Array
*   List
*   Table

The array data chart can be a one-dimensional plot such as the one shown in this figure. This array chart shows the bars alongside each other vertically.
