Generates a Digital Mountain (Area) Chart in code using the FastMountainRenderableSeries with the IsDigitalLine property true.

Digital mountain charts can be used to render an XyDataSeries, XyyDataSeries (uses Y1 only) or OhlcDataSeries (renders close).

Tip!

By setting Stroke you alter the line color, Fill alters the fill. The Mountain-Series supports semi-transparent and LinearGradientBrush fills and looks great!
