Line Graph Settings

Line Graphs are easy to understand and are a great way to communicate important time-based trends, clustering, and outliers.

They work especially well when comparing ten or fewer data sets (our Horizon Graph is a good solution for displaying time series data with ten or more data sets).

The line graph settings pane is displayed after clicking the Options  button.
