A Stock Chart displays high, low, open, and close values for each category using vertical markers. It is used to compare value ranges and movement patterns across items such as products, locations, or time periods.
In Quixy, Stock Charts are mainly used for range comparison, not financial trading analysis.

- Each category appears on the X-axis.
- Each bar shows the value range using high and low fields.
- Open and close fields show starting and ending values.
