area Chart Commands
The following command line arguments to the PDF Chart Creator are specific to Area Charts.
Additionally, the Labels and Axes can be configured.
Note: All color command parameters can be specified in one of three ways, just choose the method that you are most comfortable with:
#RRGGBB - HTML color specification, uses hexadecimal notation to define the amount of red (RR), green (GG) and
blue (BB) in a color. These values are between 0 (hexadecimal 00) and 255 (hexadecimal FF) inclusive.

R G B - decimal colour specification, uses normal decimal notation to define the amount of red (RRR), green
(GGG) and blue (BBB) in a color. These values are between 0 and 255 inclusive.

Parameters: |
label - is the text associated with the value - can be up to 30 characters long.
value - is a numeric value (either integer, real or time).

Notes: |
There is an overall limit of 1000 items of data, and at least one item must be defined.
Both this and the -DataSet command can be used either individually or together, and in any order.
If spaces are required in the label then put quotes around the label text.
If a time value is specified as the first value then all values must be time values.
If a time value is not specified as the first value then any subsequent value must NOT be a time value.
A time value has the general form of HH:MM:SS.FFF where:
HH - hours (0 upwards)
MM - minutes (0 to 59)
SS - seconds (0 to 59)
FFF - milliseconds (0 to 999)
Note: HH and FFF are optional
