What is a range area chart?

A range area chart displays information as a range of data by plotting two Y values (low and high) for each data point. It looks like two lines, and the area between them is usually filled with a color or pattern. A range area chart is similar to an area chart. The main difference between the two chart types is that in a range area chart, colors fill the area between low and high values.
