2. Chart Spotlight

A useful feature to make it easier to read several different datasets is to use with multiple axis where each of the datasets have their own y axis.

Each of the Y axis autoscales with the left labels changing accordingly. Additionally, having a line symbol at each data point makes it easier to differentiate between two that at first glance appear to be the same. Finally, having a LineLabel above the data point also helps to quickly read the value.

Take a look at our blog post to find out how you can add a stacked multiple axes in 4 simple steps using NetCharts Designer.
