TimeSeries

This collector builds a dataset that is compatible with JFreeChart XY charts that have one dimension that is time\date data. XY date\time based datasets have three dimensions or columns. The first column is the series values. The next is the date column (typically the x-axis or domain values), and the last column has the numeric values to be plotted on the y-axis (range).
Property Description
name A title for this data collector configuration. Typically you will only have one data collector per chart, in which case this property is not particularly useful.
category-time-column The column that contains the time data.
time-period-type Determines the interval to measure the time data by.
value-column The data column that determines the chart values (or series items).
series-by-value A static value that you want to use for the series name.
series-by-field Uses the selected column to use for series names. This will cause the value column to be split into series groups.
group-by This provides the name of the group that the chart is appearing in. If the chart contains detailed information, then this is not necessary.
reset-group Specifies a group that will be used to create charts within a sub-group. For example, if charting one chart per region, and the chart is displaying data for departments within a region, the reset-group would be set to the region group, and the chart group would be set to department group.
An example of a chart using the TimeSeries data collector.

On the above bar chart, Classic Cars, Motorcycles, Planes and Ships are the series. The sold price is plotted against the y-axis, and the order date is plotted against the x-axis.
