<h3>What is a line chart best used for? </h3> A line chart is a data plot where data values are visualized as a continuous line over X-axis - typically showing time variable. For example - monthly sales volume or yearly production. <p> When an area under the line is colored, we get the area chart. </p> <h3>When to use Line and Area charts? </h3> Typical cases include all data trends over time, From business to scientific sector context. Forex currency fluctuation, sales performance, website traffic, search trends, temperature change over a day, or sea-level rise over decades or centuries. <p> Good data visualization practices concerning line and area graphs: <ul> <li> limiting the number of categories in a line chart to 4-6. Having more lines makes it harder to recognize the specific category, even though you use various colors or data marks. </li><li> Using an area chart, consider that areas overlap. So the interpretation of area size can be distorted. We recommend using a semi-transparent area fill to show all areas. This works if you limit the category number on a chart, as mentioned above. </li><li> Keep charts readable and uncluttered, prefer no or light axis grid, show only key data values. Avoid showing too much data at once. Better use simple flat or outline graphics, than heavy gradients and decorations. </li> </ul> <p> <b>Fully editable in PowerPoint</b> set of vector shapes fully editable by using built-in PowerPoint tools, including <ul> <li> changing color of the icon filling and its outline </li> <li> adding shadows </li> <li> changing shape and size, rotating, flipping the object </li> <li> putting shapes behind or on top of text </li> </ul> See editing demonstration in <a href="http://www.infodiagram.com/howto_video.html"> our HowTo Videos</a>. <h5>Authors</h5> <ul> <li> infoDiagram's designer </li>
