The TdxChartXYSeriesStackedLineView class implements the Stacked Line View that forms stacked empty areas from series lines on a diagram. Use this View when you need to display multiple series and you need to emphasize the total. To select the Stacked Line View, assign 'StackedLine' to the ViewType property of an XY series.
