[Chicago-talk] financial charting

[David Mertens]

I don't know how to get Google or Yahoo to do what you want. However,
making the chart on your own machine should be straight-forward using Perl.
A recent post for this can be found here:

http://www.preshweb.co.uk/2011/11/graphing-time-based-data-in-perl/

I know that doesn't answer your original question, but if you can't find a
way to do what you want, maybe this will work as Plan B.
