# nolint start: object_usage_linter.
# Stock chart pieced together by hand: three scatter-style series (High, Low,
# Close) without connecting lines, an X-axis based on dates, plus the optional
# adornments turned on directly via fields - high_low_lines = TRUE for the
# vertical wick between High/Low and up_down_bars = TRUE for the body. Uses
# wb_data() so series are added by column name rather than cell range.
