The HighLowOpenClose Chart is generally used in stock analysis. The chart combines four independent values to supply high, low, open, and close data values for each data point in a series.

Consider a stock market scenario in which a stock is to be analyzed in terms of its price for one week. The analysis needs to depict the stock price summary, so that the growth/decline can easily be interpreted.

The HighLowOpenClose Chart can be used in this case.

Sample Data Table

Day	High	Low	Open	Close
Mon	450	190	350	380
Tue	470	200	300	390
Wed	420	160	290	350
Thu	440	220	330	400
Fri	500	210	350	470
Sat	390	250	310	360

HighLowOpenClose Chart

The above chart displays the stock summary for a particular week.

Number of series: one (Stock)
Number of Y values per point: four

See the following code for implementing the scenario:
