Candlestick Chart
=================
A candlestick chart inspired from `Protovis <http://mbostock.github.io/protovis/ex/candlestick.html>`_. 
This example shows the performance of the Chicago Board Options Exchange `Volatility Index <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIX>`_ (VIX) 
in the summer of 2009. The thick bar represents the opening and closing prices, 
while the thin bar shows intraday high and low prices; if the index closed higher on a given day, the bars are colored green rather than red.
