Line

Line Charts represent data points connected using straight lines. They arrange a period horizontally, encode data points as symbols, and connect them with line segments. As a basic chart type, Line Charts are highly effective for visualizing trends, comparing values across periodic intervals such as time, temperature, or sales. Examples include monthly average product sales or stock closing prices over a time frame.

Line Smooth

A Line Smooth Chart is similar to a standard Line Chart, but connects data points using smooth curves instead of straight lines. This makes trends easier to visualize and interpret, especially when the data fluctuates frequently. Line Smooth Charts are ideal for highlighting patterns or trends in continuous data over time, such as stock prices, temperature changes, or sales performance, without the jagged appearance of straight-line connections.
