# JavaScript OHLC Series with Automatic Packing

![JavaScript OHLC Series with Automatic Packing](ohlcAutomaticPacking-darkGold.png)

This demo application belongs to the set of examples for LightningChart JS, data visualization library for JavaScript.

LightningChart JS is entirely GPU accelerated and performance optimized charting library for presenting massive amounts of data. It offers an easy way of creating sophisticated and interactive charts and adding them to your website or web application.

The demo can be used as an example or a seed project. Local execution requires the following steps:

- Make sure that relevant version of [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) is installed
- Open the project folder in a terminal:

npm install # fetches dependencies
npm start # builds an application and starts the development server

- The application is available at _http://localhost:8080_ in your browser, webpack-dev-server provides hot reload functionality.

## Description

This example shows real-time OHLC-packing using a variant of OHLC-series.

**Please note that using LightningChart JS for Trading use cases requires a special license agreement.**
For more information, please [contact us](https://lightningchart.com/contact/).

## LightningChart JS OHLC Series with Automatic Packing

LightningChart JS includes a variant of the OHLC series which allows inputting close prices only which results in the corresponding OHLC data being automatically calculated.

```javascript
const chart = lightningChart().ChartXY()
const series = chart.addOHLCSeries(
// Specify the type of OHLC-series for adding points
{ seriesConstructor: OHLCSeriesTypes.AutomaticPacking },
)
```

OHLC-series that were created with type 'AutomaticPacking' accept data the same way as any other horizontally progressive XY-series:

```javascript
// Single point.
series.add({ x: 50, y: 60 })

// Multiple points at once.
series.add([
{ x: 55, y: 60 },
{ x: 60, y: 62 },
{ x: 65, y: 65 },
])
```

## Packing logic

Supplied points are packed by columns, within which the Y-values are mapped to open, high, low and close -values, which are used to draw _OHLCFigures_.
