Description:

<chart_type> identifies the type of chart that is to be initialized. Passing this parameter is required. The valid values for <chart_type> are:

Angular Meter
Finance Chart
Linear Meter
Multi Chart
Pie Chart
Polar Chart
Pyramid Chart
Surface chart
XY Chart

<chart_spec_name> is the name which uniquely identifies the chart spec which is to be initialized. The <chart_spec_name> may be up to 30 characters in length and may contain the letters A-Z, the digits 0-9, and spaces. Passing this parameter is optional.

If the <chart_spec_name> parameter is not passed, then an "unnamed" chart is initialized. If an "unnamed" chart has been previously initialized, then the previously initialized "unnamed" chart is reinitialized clearing all previously set values.

If the <chart_spec_name> parameter is passed, then a chart with the specified name is initialized. If a chart with the specified name has been previously initialized, then the previously initialized chart is reinitialized clearing all previously set values.

The newly initialized chart spec become the "current" chart.

This subroutine sets a result value in the corresponding results Token field.
