CHAPTER 5
Using Flex Charting
Components
The ability to display data in a chart or graph can make data interpretation much easier for
Flex application users. Rather than present a simple table of numeric data, you can display a
bar, pie, line, or other type of chart using colors, captions, and a two-dimensional
representation of your data.
This topic introduces Flex charts, carting data, and the types of charts that you can create in
Flex. For detailed information about creating and using charts, see Chapter 53, “Introduction
to Charts,” in Flex 2 Developer’s Guide.

About charting
Data visualization lets you present data in a way that simplifies data interpretation and data
relationships. Charting is one type of data visualization in which you create two-dimensional
representations of your data. Flex supports some of the most common types of two-
dimensional charts, such as bar, column, and pie charts, and provides you with a great deal of
control over the appearance of the charts.
