這個例子主要是講解了在X維度里展示不均勻的數據點。 ChartDirector不僅僅提供了Y軸的數據值繪制線，同樣可以在X軸上面繪制。如果沒有提供X坐標,數據點,被認為是在X維均勻分布的，在這種情況下X軸可用于標記的數據點，使用Axis.setLabels或Axis.setLabels2配置標簽，標簽僅用于閱讀，并不會影響的數據點的定位。

    另一方面，如果是不均勻間隔的數據點，或者如果在X維度有多個數據系列具有不同的間距，將要提供數據系列的X坐標，可使用Layer.setXData或Layer.setXData2 進行設置。在這種情況下，X軸與所產生ChartDirector的標簽將可以自動縮放，Axis.setLinearScale ， Axis.setLogScale ， Axis.setDateScale等也將會被用于設置X軸的縮放設置。

    在這個例子中，紅色的線在X軸中有著不均勻間隔的數據點，使用Layer.setXData進行設置。綠線和橙色線有著均勻分布的X坐標，但在X方向的間距線不同，他們的X坐標使用Layer.setXData2設置。

代碼如下：
