Custom Line Segments

The sample shows customizing the line chart segments in a FlexChart using itemFormatter.

The FlexChart's itemFormatter property allows you to specify a callback invoked when chart items are rendered. The callback may customize the item or add new ones using the chart engine's properties and methods.
