Description
The LineChart2D() function makes it possible to draw two-dimensional line charts. The 1st data series in the ChartData() function provides the x-values, the 2nd data series the y-values for the first line series, the 3rd and 4th data series in ChartData() the x and y-values for the second line series, etc.

As for one-dimensional line charts, symbols (appearanceConstants = symbol), shadow (appearanceConstants = shadow) and labels (appearanceConstants = label) can also be added to the lines by using the argument appearanceConstants. The options can be combined arbitrarily by using a plus sign "+". Rotating (appearanceConstants = horizontal) is not supported for two-dimensional charts as this is simply possible by switching the data series in ChartData() .

By activating the 2nd argument splitAscentDescent = on, ascending and descending line segments are represented by different line styles. The appearance of the ascending line segments can be controlled by using style functions with odd series indices; the appearance of the descending line segments by using style functions with even series indices. This option is only available for polygonal lines, i.e. for line shape constant poly, for all other line shapes the argument splitAscentDescent is ignored.
