GD::Graph - Can it create a stock chart

[Jarson]

I would like to know if GD::Graph can be used to create a "Stock Chart".
This is a series of lines with three data points representing the
high/low/close. Perhaps there is a more correct name for this type of chart,
but it is referred to this in MS Excel. My application is NOT for tracking
stocks, and I will use it for the high/low/average for several days.

Thanks,

That's a dot com company (you can figure out the e-mail address if needed).

Yes. In fact many online charting applications use Perl.

(This uses plain GD & is not in production yet).

Your example is not a stock chart. It is a line chart (although a very nice
one, and I do want to know how you were able to get all the daily data yet
only show monthly data titles and vertical lines).

A stock chart (again, perhaps not the most correct name) shows the
high/low/close for each data point.
