XY Extended Line (XY Step, XY StepArea, XY Difference)

There are three possible variations of the XY extended line chart: StepChart, StepAreaChart, and DifferenceChart. Passing these values to the ext-chart-type parameter in Report Designer, or the chart-type variable in an action sequence will determine which chart you will create. All three types share the same properties.

XY extended line charts are useful for showing how multiple data points change over time while also showing how each compares against the others.
