Overview

The LineChart is a two dimentional line chart (who would have guessed?) that you can add to your worksheet.

Examples:

Creating a chart

# This example creates a line in a single sheet.
require "rubygems" # if that is your preferred way to manage gems!
require "axlsx"

p = Axlsx::Package.new
ws = p.workbook.add_worksheet
ws.add_row ["This is a chart with no data in the sheet"]

chart = ws.add_chart(Axlsx::LineChart, :start_at=> [0,1], :end_at=>[0,6], :title=>"Most Popular Pets")
chart.add_series :data => [1, 9, 10], :labels => ["Slimy Reptiles", "Fuzzy Bunnies", "Rottweiler"]
