Line

The Line Chart is used to visualise trends, changes, and comparisons of values over a sequence or category. It displays data points connected by lines, making it useful for showing progression, patterns, distributions, or relationships between variables. Line charts are commonly used to compare multiple data series, monitor changes across categories, and present analytical or aggregated data in a clear visual format.
