When AnyChart JS Charts‘ dedicated extension for Qlik Sense first hit the stage on Qlik Branch in the spring of 2017, it was well received by the community.

Now, we are happy to present version 2.0 of our extension for Qlik Sense!
The major update has brought new chart types and elaborate features out of the box, sharing another portion of the ultimate data visualization power inherent in the AnyChart JavaScript charting library with Qlik users.

Want to know how to build a JavaScript area chart? This article will show you how to do that and tell you who invented area charts in the late 18th century.
The area chart is one of the basic charts used to show changes in data over time. The key feature of this chart type is a colored area between the horizontal X-axis and the line marking the changing value. It can be filled with a color, gradient color, or with a hatch fill.
Look at the chart on the title image. That’s the data visualization being created along the tutorial. Such a JavaScript-based area chart will be interactive and good-looking in any browser, on any website and in any app in HTML5. All samples used in the article are available in our collection on CodePen.
