Series example

Create a combo chart by configuring Series objects, and export the chart to an .svg file.

import arcpy

seriesLeft = [arcpy.charts.Series(y="", aggregation="count", seriesType="bar")]
seriesRight = [arcpy.charts.Series(y="prcp", aggregation="mean", seriesType="line")]
chart = arcpy.charts.Combo(x="day_for_trips", seriesLeft=seriesLeft, seriesRight=seriesRight,
                           title="Bike Trips and Precipitation",                            
																											yTitleLeft="Total Rides", yTitleRight="Average Precipitation",                           
																											dataSource="BikeTripData")
chart.exportToSVG("combo.svg", width=900, height=500)
