drawStackedAreaChart - Draw a stacked area chart

This function allows you to draw a stacked area chart. All the drawing parameters are given trough a $Format array. To learn more about this please read the Format array guide.


For this function to work correctly, the scale must be drawn first in the SCALE_MODE_ADDALL mode.


Calling this function
drawStackedAreaChart($Format="");
Where :

Format is an array containing the drawing parameters of the chart.


Customisation array - Tune up your chart!

It is possible to customize the stacked bar chart rendering by playing with this array. Providing a detailled configuration is not mandatory.

You can specify if the values must be written on the chart setting DisplayValues to TRUE or FALSE.
You can specify the labels color with DisplayR,DisplayG,DisplayB.
You can specify an unique border color with BorderR,BorderG,BorderB,.
You can use the Surrounding option to define the border color. This value will be added to the R,G,B factors to define the border color.
You can force the area transparency playing with ForceTransparency.

You can define if the labels color will be the same than the serie color of if you want to force it manually setting DisplayColor to :

DISPLAY_MANUAL, color will be specified manually with DisplayR,DisplayG,DisplayB.
DISPLAY_AUTO, will use the serie color.
