[flexcoders] overlapping series line chart - flex 1.5

[Robert Brueckmann]

Does anyone have an elegant solution on how to handle a line chart when, for example, we have 3 series in our line chart…Equities, Assets, and a Total.  3 separate lines.  In a specific case, Assets is 0 for all date points, so Equities and Total are exactly the same, hence their lines overlap each other identically.    To a user, this might not be immediately intuitive if they only see the chart and not the underlying data.  Is there a way to handle this?  I mean would this just be a situation where we’d have to pre-analyze the data of the chart, check if a specific series is identical to the total and if it’s true, in the mouse-over datatip renderer we’d have to display something that indicates to the user that this series and the total are identical?  Or is there some nifty built-in functionality to already handle such instances where series are identical?     robert l. brueckmann vice president merlin securities 595 madison avenue 16th floor phone: 212.822.4821 fax: 212.822.4820   This message contains information from Merlin Securities, LLC, or from one of its affiliates, that may be confidential and privileged.
