Want to know how to build a JavaScript area chart? This article will show you how to do that and tell you who invented area charts in the late 18th century.

Look at the chart on the title image. That’s the data visualization being created along the tutorial. Such a JavaScript-based area chart will be interactive and good-looking in any browser, on any website and in any app in HTML5.

Depending on a situation – the kind of data you have and the specific questions you’d like it to provide answers to – you can pick one approach or another.
