How it works

AnyChart Stock component gives you the ability to add, remove or modify data points in real-time without full chart reloading and redrawing - you can do just what you need in a fast and flexible way.

This sample generates several random data points and inserts them into the data set defined in config.xml using appendData function. Every time new data is inserted commitDataChanges function is called to apply changes.

You can learn everything you need to know about real-time data streaming and update in Real-Time Data Streaming and Data Manipulations article.
