Data presentation is a key to decision making. While the tabular data can provide lot of details about a certain topic, the visual presentation can help us take quick decisions, especially when we have to compare the progression or regression of the data belonging to different categories. Sencha Touch comes with and add-on for charts. However, before we can start using them, we will have to set up our development environment with the chart support. In this recipe, we will go through the steps to download, install, and configure our project for Sencha Touch Charts.
Make sure that you have set up your development environment by following the recipes outlined in Chapter 1.
Download the Sencha Touch Charts framework from the Sencha website (http://www.sencha.com/products/charts/download/). We will be using the 1.0 version of the chart framework.
