Abstract
In this short but nonetheless important chapter, you will look at candlestick charts. This type of chart is based on a particular data format (OHLC, or open-high-low-close) that you have already dealt with when the jqPlot library was covered (see Chapter 12). With jqPlot, you had a special plug-in to deal with and represent such data in an appropriate manner; instead, with D3 you have to build all of the graphic elements one by one, and above all you will need to implement a parser to read OHLC data from an external file. Moreover, another nontrivial aspect that you need to solve is how to deal with date and time data.
