Create Line chart

Everything you need to know to create the chart you want.

The line chart is represented by a series of datapoints connected with a straight line. Line charts are most often used to visualize data that changes over time.

Data

Line chart supports Random, Table and JSON data sources. Let's look at each data source in detail

Random data

If you don't have real dataset you can use this option to create a chart using the following parameters:

  • Number of lines

  • Number of points

  • Data distribution

  • Min

  • Max

Table data

The most powerful and flexible dataset option to get full value from the plugin. See how to use Manual table, Google Sheet integration (best option) or CSV in our tutorials.
