-  # ==SYNOPSIS
-  #
-  # To create a simple Excel file with a Pie chart using WriteExcel:
-  #
-  #     #!/usr/bin/ruby -w
-  #
-  #     require 'writeexcel'
-  #
-  #     workbook  = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel.new('chart.xls')
-  #     worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet
-  #
-  #     chart     = workbook.add_chart(:type => Chart::Pie)
-  #
-  #     # Configure the chart.
-  #     chart.add_series(
-  #       :categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7',
-  #       :values     => '=Sheet1!$B$2:$B$7'
-  #    )
-  #
-  #     # Add the worksheet data the chart refers to.
-  #     data = [
-  #         [ 'Category', 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ],
-  #         [ 'Value',    1, 4, 5, 2, 1, 5 ]
-  #     ]

-  #     worksheet.write('A1', data)
-  #
-  #     workbook.close
-  #
-  # ==DESCRIPTION
-  #
-  # This module implements Pie charts for Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. The chart
-  # object is created via the Workbook add_chart() method:
-  #
-  #     chart = workbook.add_chart(:type => Chart::Pie)
-  #
-  # Once the object is created it can be configured via the following methods
-  # that are common to all chart classes:
-  #
-  #     chart.add_series
-  #     chart.set_title
-  #
-  # These methods are explained in detail in Chart section of WriteExcel.
-  # Class specific methods or settings, if any, are explained below.
-  #
-  # ==Pie Chart Methods
-  #
-  # There aren't currently any pie chart specific methods. See the TODO
-  # section of Chart section in WriteExcel.
-  #
-  # A Pie chart doesn't have an X or Y axis so the following common chart
-  # methods are ignored.
-  #
-  #     chart.set_x_axis
-  #     chart.set_y_axis
-  #
-  # ==EXAMPLE
-  #
-  # Here is a complete example that demonstrates most of the available
-  # features when creating a chart.
-  #
-  #     #!/usr/bin/ruby -w
-  #
-  #     require 'writeexcel'
-  #
-  #     workbook  = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel.new('chart_pie.xls')
-  #     worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet
-  #     bold      = workbook.add_format(:bold => 1)
-  #
-  #     # Add the worksheet data that the charts will refer to.
-  #     headings = [ 'Category', 'Values' ]
-  #     data = [
-  #         [ 'Apple', 'Cherry', 'Pecan' ],
-  #         [ 60,       30,       10     ],
-  #     ]
-  #
-  #     worksheet.write('A1', headings, bold)
-  #     worksheet.write('A2', data)
-  #
-  #     # Create a new chart object. In this case an embedded chart.
-  #     chart = workbook.add_chart(:type => Chart::Pie, :embedded => 1)
-  #
-  #     # Configure the series.
-  #     chart.add_series(
-  #       :name       => 'Pie sales data',
-  #       :categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$4',
-  #       :values     => '=Sheet1!$B$2:$B$4',
-  #    )
-  #
-  #     # Add a title.
-  #     chart.set_title(name => 'Popular Pie Types')

+class Chart
+
+  # ==SYNOPSIS
+  #
+  # To create a simple Excel file with a Stock chart using WriteExcel:
+  #
+  #     #!/usr/bin/ruby -w
+  #
+  #     require 'writeexcel'
+  #
+  #     workbook  = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel.new('chart.xls')
+  #     worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet
+  #
+  #     chart     = workbook.add_chart(:type => Chart::Stock)
+  #
+  #     # Add a series for each Open-High-Low-Close.
+  #     chart.add_series(:categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$6', :values => '=Sheet1!$B$2:$B$6')
+  #     chart.add_series(:categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$6', :values => '=Sheet1!$C$2:$C$6')
+  #     chart.add_series(:categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$6', :values => '=Sheet1!$D$2:$D$6')
+  #     chart.add_series(:categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$6', :values => '=Sheet1!$E$2:$E$6')
+  #
+  #     # Add the worksheet data the chart refers to.
+  #     # ... See the full example below.
+  #
+  #     workbook.close
+  #
+  # ==DESCRIPTION
+  #
+  # This module implements Stock charts for WriteExcel. The chart object
+  # is created via the Workbook add_chart() method:
+  #
+  #     chart = workbook.add_chart(:type => Chart::Stock)
+  #
+  # Once the object is created it can be configured via the following methods
+  # that are common to all chart classes:
+  #
+  #     chart.add_series
+  #     chart.set_x_axis
+  #     chart.set_y_axis
+  #     chart.set_title
+  #
+  # These methods are explained in detail in Chart section of WriteExcel.
+  # Class specific methods or settings, if any, are explained below.
+  #
+  # ==Stock Chart Methods
+  #
+  # There aren't currently any stock chart specific methods.
+  # See the TODO section of Chart section in WriteExcel.
+  #
+  # The default Stock chart is an Open-High-Low-Close chart.
+  # A series must be added for each of these data sources.
+  #
+  # The default Stock chart is in black and white. User defined colours
+  # will be added at a later stage.
+  #
+  # ==EXAMPLE
+  #
+  # Here is a complete example that demonstrates most of the available features
+  # when creating a Stock chart.
+  #
+  #     #!/usr/bin/ruby -w
+  #
+  #     require 'writeexcel'
+  #
+  #     workbook    = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel.new('chart_stock_ex.xls')
+  #     worksheet   = workbook.add_worksheet
+  #     bold        = workbook.add_format(:bold => 1)
+  #     date_format = workbook.add_format(:num_format => 'dd/mm/yyyy')
+  #
+  #     # Add the worksheet data that the charts will refer to.
+  #     headings = [ 'Date', 'Open', 'High', 'Low', 'Close' ]
+  #     data = [
+  #         [ '2009-08-23', 110.75, 113.48, 109.05, 109.40 ],
+  #         [ '2009-08-24', 111.24, 111.60, 103.57, 104.87 ],

+  #    )
+  #
+  #     # Add a chart title and some axis labels.
