**Use the table to choose which type of dc.js chart to create for each column detected in the csv file. Row charts work for most data types, Bar charts require numerical data, and Time charts require Dates. Click the "Go" button to create the actual charts.**

**To follow along, just select them all for charting by checking all the "Chart it?" buttons.**
**A simple test example is the Cars dataset from [Raw.js](http://raw.densitydesign.org/)**
