public class CandleStickSerie

extends OHLCStickSerie

This class implements the properties and methods of a candlestick series. A candlestick series is displayed as a sequence of rectangles vertically arranged over 'sticks', and are given this name because of their similarity with candle sticks. This series is used in financial charts, and each candlestick plotted in a chart represents four values. The top and bottom of the stick represent the 'high' and 'low' values, whereas the top and bottom of the rectangle represent the 'open' and 'close' values, or vice versa. The four values are known as OHLC values(open, high,low,close) in the financial market.

Candlesticks are painted in two different colors, depending upon the 'open' and 'close' values. If the 'open' value is greater than the 'close' value, there is a bearish condition. If the 'open' value is smaller than the 'close' value, there is a bullish condition. A bearish and a bullish candlesticks are distinctly painted, so we can easily distinguish the conditions above mentioned at a glance.

Data points of a candlestick series can be depicted as a sequence of sharp or rounded rectangles.
