Line charts are used to show trends over time or ordered categories, and may or may not display data points to represent individual data values .
A line chart is where data arranged in columns or rows of a worksheet can be plotted into a line chart. Line charts can display continuous data over time (according to common scale settings), making them ideal for showing trends in data at equal time intervals. Line charts are alsothe most common type of charts used to visualize data on the big screen .
The following is the big data screen - "Things About Grain", in which the line chart is fully used to make the data more intuitive, clearer, and easier to understand.
Today, I use the data visualization platform to explain, mainly around the line chart. Like bar charts, pie charts, and other charts, line charts are popular and everyone has seen them, which in itself is an advantage of being very easy to understand. And line charts are more suitable for large two-dimensional data sets, especially those where trends are more important than a single data point and for comparisons of multiple two-dimensional data sets.
First drag a basic line chart component onto the canvas . The line chart in the figure shows monthly expenses and income, with dark blue for income and light blue for expenses.
Click the title, legend, toolbar, prompt button to display the title legend toolbar and prompt of the line chart, etc.; click to open the legend selection mode, click the expenditure or income in the box on the way, you can only see the selection legend, currently selected is the income legend
This is the effect after simple beautification. With these settings, it seems that the appearance is slightly higher. Everyone can freely set according to their own preferences.
It can be switched to a smooth line graph . Compared with the basic line graph, the line graph is turned into a smooth curve, and the functions and property configurations are all the same.
It can be switched to area line chart . The difference between area chart and line chart is that the area with color in the area chart can also express quantity.
You can switch to a stacked line graph . Compared with the basic and smooth line graphs, Ta data is displayed in a stacked manner.
You can switch to a stacked area chart . Note that you need to turn on smooth display, area chart, and data stack display at the same time.
Trend forecast chart , Ta makes a forecast value for the data on the basis of the basic line chart, as well as the forecast upper limit and lower limit value.
The positive and negative line chart, as shown in the figure below, is to distinguish "income" and "expenditure", and form a clear comparison between the positive and the negative.
Ladder line chart, as the name implies, displays the basic line chart in a stepped shape, like a layer of stairs.
Of course, if you like one of the above line charts, you can also directly click the component to call. Their data structures are similar. Next, I will tell you how to perform data replacement. You can modify and replace the original format according to the data source format.
Of course, if you feel that it is inconvenient to modify the data source or the amount of data is too large, you can also download the template file, modify and upload it on the original file to call.
The figure below is the data table uploaded according to the template, which can clearly see the total number of departments and the number of men and women.
Whether it is the diversification of graphics, the setting of properties or the configuration of data, it is very simple and can be realized completely from zero basis. And in the case of more time series data, the line chart also looks very delicate and beautiful.
You can try it yourself. On the one hand, you can be familiar with the settings of various elements in the visual interactive platform . On the other hand , you may find some unexpected surprises. Hurry up and search to unlock more functions .
