    <p>
        The example on the right shows a  line chart that automatically updates itself every 15 milliseconds. An ideal
        use for this could be showing a networks bandwidth usage, or a servers load value.
    </p>
    
    <p>
        This particular example shows a stacked line chart with two data series, though if you're showing load/stress values, a
        non-filled chart might be a better choice.
    </p>
    
    <p>
        To get up-to-date data from your server you could simply have the page refresh itself, storing the data on the server,
        or use <a href="index.html#ajax">AJAX</a> if you want the data stored client-side.
    </p>
    
    <p>
        Be careful of the data types you use to pass the data to RGraph - you should use numbers to represent values, not strings.
