= !HeuristicLab Chart Types =

Below a list of different chart types that could be useful for !HeuristicLab can be found. Please note that this list is not complete. It will be further extended, if additional chart types come into mind.

However, this list is not a catalog of requirements! It should be possible to realize all these different chart types using the charting framework, but not all of these charts have to be implemented in the current project ;-).
