New Chart Type Names

Naming Conventions:
We have tried to use a few naming rules to make the new names easier to remember:
2D or 3D?
With the new names all charts are 2D unless the chart names starts with 3D. E.g. "3DBar" chart and "3DLayeredBar" chart.

Layered?
The "layered" keyword replaces the word "multi" in some new chart names. When a chart name contains the keyword "layered" it means that the different data sets is stacked on top of each other. For an example see the LayeredBar Chart.



Is Multi Chart?
A multi chart is a chart that accepts multiple data sets and you must use "Value_y_x" instead of "Value_x" to send values into the chart. For an example look at the difference in the source code for the Bar Chart (not multi) and the LayeredBar Chart (multi).
