Examples

# 1. converting AirPassengers to a tidy data frame
airpassengers <- data.frame(
  passengers = as.matrix(AirPassengers),
  date= zoo::as.Date(time(AirPassengers))
)

# 2. plotting the area chart
areaChart(
  data = airpassengers,
  x = "date",
  y = "passengers",
  fill = "purple",
  bgcol = "white"
)
