1. Line Chart
A line chart is a graphical representation of data points connected by a continuous line. It is commonly used to show trends over time and helps in identifying patterns, fluctuations, and overall movement in data.
Use Cases
- Tracking stock prices over time to observe market trends.
- Analyzing website traffic fluctuations over days, weeks, or months.
- Monitoring temperature changes throughout the day or across seasons.
- Measuring sales growth or decline over a financial quarter.
- Observing CPU or memory usage over time in IT performance monitoring.
Technical Details
- The x-axis typically represents time intervals such as hours, days, months, or years.
- The y-axis represents the measured variable, such as stock price, sales, or website traffic.
- It is useful for displaying continuous numerical data over a period.
- Can display multiple lines for comparative analysis, such as comparing revenue growth of two different companies.
- Trend lines and moving averages can be added to highlight patterns.
