Usage guidelines outline how the component should and shouldn’t be used in different user interface contexts.
When to use
- To visualize relationships or trends in data (e.g. on the Insights tab)
- To show detailed information about a dataset, including a title, axes, and coordinates
When not to use
- To show the general shape of a dataset with no axes or coordinates, which lets users preview a trend at a glance (use a Sparkline Chart instead)
Best practices
Do always display a title and axis labels.
Don't use a Line Chart without the title or axis labels.
Don't resize the Line Chart to fit into a small space next to other content, as this compromizes the legibility of labels and the ability to understand the data.
