In this chapter, we took what we learned from the previous chapters and completed the dashboard projects requested of us. We combined a line chart, waterfall chart, stacked bar chart, and regular bar chart into a dashboard for the vice presidents. Each of these charts work independent of the others and each has its own remote data source. We also created a dashboard for the divisional managers where the data and chart colors change based on which division is selected.

We created a new chart by mixing renderers and also added an image to the chart canvas element. Finally, we dug into the code for the donut renderer and modified it to meet our needs.

We covered many of the common options and plugins in jqPlot. Be sure to check out the API documentation at http://www.jqplot.com/docs/files/jqplot-core-js.html to find a full list of all the available plugins and options.

With what we have learned, we can get almost any charting project up and running. Along with the technical knowledge of how to create charts, we learned the best use cases for different chart types. This combined understanding of how to build charts and when to use them will help as you begin building charts based on your company's needs.
