The Multi Purpose Chart displays data in a chart on a Coach with the option to add drill down trees for presenting additional data sets.
Like almost all SPARK controls, you can trigger events that are fired when the user interacts with the control (see the Event and Methods sections below and the Event Handling article for more information).
The Multi Purpose Chart must be populated through an AJAX service.
