Time Series StepArea Chart
The time series steparea chart consists of pairs of values (plotted as points) on a line for each series in the given dataset. Each pair of values consists of one date and one numeric value. A time series line chart will have one date\time based axis (the domain axis) and one numeric axis (the range axis). Each line is drawn at a 90 degree angle from point to point. Each line will fill the from the line to the bottom of the plot with its series color.
