Line Graph
Lines that show how values change over time.
The idea
A line graph puts time on the horizontal axis and joins the points, so the shape of the change is the message: rises, falls, seasonality and turning points. Use it when the data is in time order and the reader cares about direction, not only the latest number.
Where to use it
- Sales, traffic and other metrics over months or years
- Prices, rates and indices
- Comparing a few series on the same time scale
- Forecasts with a projected stretch or a fan
