Simple line chart
Example of simple line
chart based on Google visualization
library. A line chart or line graph is a type of chart which displays information as a
series of data points called 'markers' connected by straight line segments. Line Charts
show how a particular data changes at equal intervals of time. A line chart is rendered
within the browser using SVG
or VML
. Displays tips when
hovering over points.
Simple area chart
Example of area
chart. An area chart or area graph displays
graphically quantitive data. It is based on the line chart. The area between axis and
line are commonly emphasized with colors, textures and hatchings. Commonly one compares
with an area chart two or more quantities. An area chart that is rendered within the
browser using SVG
or VML
. Displays tips when hovering over
points.
Stacked area chart
Example of stacked area
chart. By default, the area chart draws
the series on top of one another. You can stack them atop one another instead, so that
the data values at each x-value are summed. The order of the legend entries in stacked
chart is different - it is reversed, placing series 0 at the bottom, to better
correspond with the stacking of the series elements, making the legend correspond to the
data.
Line intervals
Example of line intervals
in charts. Intervals around a series
might be used to portray confidence intervals, minimum and maximum values around a
value, percentile sampling, or anything else that requires a varying margin around a
series. Line intervals are sometimes used to show the raw data from which a trendline
was extracted. To draw a trendline on a chart, use the trendlines option and specify
which data series to use.
Area intervals
Example of area intervals
in charts. An area interval renders
interval data as a set of nested shaded areas. Nesting of pairs of columns is similar to
that of box intervals, except that an even number of columns is required. This is
accomplished by setting style to 'area'
. There are six styles of interval:
line
, bar
, box
, stick
,
point
, and area
. For even greater customization, intervals
styles can be combined inside one chart.
Stepped area chart
Example of stepped area
chart. A stepped area chart is rendered
within the browser using SVG
or VML
. Displays tips when
hovering over steps. The Step Line chart type is similar to the Line chart type, but it
does not use the shortest distance to connect two data points. Instead, this chart type
uses vertical and horizontal lines to connect the data points in a series forming a
step-like progression.
