Module: Chart¶
Executive summary¶
The chart is – information-wise – the most important element of the whole STOCK, since it visualizes relatively complex time series, such as:
- Sales forecast
- Curve of historical and future stock
- Historical consumption, e.g., in production
- Historical and future distribution to branches, etc.
- And more
In the chart, you can quickly compare relationships among variables and, thus, search for advice and other ways to optimize.
Functional description¶
In STOCK, there are several types of charts.
- Monthly overview – aggregated (or averaged) values during a month, i.e., a time series.
- Daily overview – as in the point above, just in detailed view (see the figure below).
- Pie (ratio) charts – used, for example, in the Stock structure.
When – as above – a 3D perspective is used, a user can easily switch to 2D as well – simply right-click on the chart and select 2D. For the case at hand, the following chart gets displayed.
