Field-Specific Charts (Revision #17)

Aqua Data Studio 7.5 has an enhanced Charting Toolkit. Following new Chart Types is introduced in this version:

• Scatter chart - You can now display values for two variables for a set of data as a collection of points. This enhancement in ADS 7.5 displays each point, having the value of one variable determining the position on the horizontal axis and the value of the other variable determining the position on the vertical axis
• Bubble chart - A bubble chart displays a set of numeric values as a circles. It is especially useful when the values differ by several orders of magnitude. ADS 7.5 displays data values that differ by a ratio of 100,000 and can display hundreds of individual values at once
• Open-high-low-close chart - Stock market users will find this type of chart useful to depict prices with a open-high-low-close chart. This takes a 3 data series (High, Low, Close)
• Candlestick chart - You can now use a variation of bar chart to describe price movements of an equity over time. This type of chart plots a 5 series data (Open, Close, Low, High and a relative plot to the prior periods' prices)

Feature Overview

•    Chart Types - You can now use ADS 7.5 to plot Scatter, Bubble, Open-high-low-close and Candlestick Charts
•    Column Shape Type - Support for Cylinder, Cone & Pyramid versions of all Column & Bar charts is added
•    Chart Functions - Support for Add, Subtract, Scalar, Power, Log, Moving Average and Linear Regression
