This example shows how to create a simple line graph containing 3 data series. The graph function called is drawFilledLineGraph() specifying a transparency factor of 50%. Running this script will create a example6.png file in the current directory.

Output :

Note on the dataset

Data are retrieved from a CSV file named datawithtitle.csv. This file contains 4 colums : Column 0 is used as index, Column 1-2-3 are used as data series. This file does contains a header defining series name.
