Google's charting API supports a candlestick chart with the ability to change the values on the X axis - i.e. they are week days here but could be other things.
However, as far as I can tell, this charting API does not allow you to change the line width for the "wicks", and it is impossible to invert the axis so that 0 is on top (unless you switch to using all negative values).
Highcharts has a more full featured candlestick chart and the ability to reverse the y axis, but as far as I can tell you MUST use timestamps as values for the x axis.
What tool can I use to create an HTML5 candlestick chart with an inverted Y axis and the ability to set custom labels on the X axis, and possibly and option to adjust the "wick" thickness?
