Line Charts

Line Charts are used to observe trends across categories or over time.

• 2dLine. The 2dLine chart type displays one or more line curves plotted against the X-Y grid. If there is no series axis, a single line curve appears. If there is a series axis, one line curve appears for each color in the legend. A 2dLine chart appears in Figure 106.

• 3dLine. The 3dLine chart type is functionally equivalent to the 2dLine type, but appears with the illusion of depth. A 3dLine chart (showing the same data as the 2dLine chart in Figure 106) appears in Figure 107.

• 2dSpline. The 2dSpline chart type displays one or more line curves plotted against the X-Y grid, with the points plotted accurately but the line between them smoothed mathematically. If there is no series axis, a single curve and set of points appear. If there is a series axis, one curve and corresponding set of points appear for each color in the legend. A 2dSpline chart appears in Figure 108.

• 3dSpline. The 3dSpline chart type is functionally equivalent to the 2dSpline type, but appears with the illusion of depth, and does not display the actual data points, only the smoothed curve. A 3dSpline chart (showing the same data as the 2dSpline chart in Figure 108) appears in Figure 109.

• Combo. A chart of the Combo type displays a single bar chart with dots superimposed on it. The two charts share the category axis, but each has its own data points axis (on the left for the bar chart, and on the right for the line chart). A sample Combo chart appears in Figure 110.
