function AddLineSeries(AChart: TChart; ATitle: String): TChartSeries;
begin
  Result := TLineSeries.Create(AChart.Owner);
  with TLineSeries(Result) do
  begin
    // Series title for the legend
    SeriesTitle := ATitle;
    // Show data point markers (red fill color, black border)
    ShowPoints := true;  
    Pointer.Brush.Color := clRed;
    Pointer.Pen.Color := clBlack;
    Pointer.Style := psCircle;
    // Show red line segments connecting the data points
    ShowLines := true;   
    LinePen.Style := psSolid;
    SeriesColor := clRed;
  end;
  // Add new series to the chart
