Comparison Plots
Comparison plots include charts that are ideal for comparing multiple variables or variables over time. Line charts are great for visualizing variables over time. For comparison among items, bar charts (also called column charts) are the best way to go. For a certain time period (say, fewer than 10-time points), vertical bar charts can be used as well. Radar charts or spider plots are great for visualizing multiple variables for multiple groups.
Line Chart
Line charts are used to display quantitative values over a continuous time period and show information as a series. A line chart is ideal for a time series that is connected by straight-line segments.
The value being measured is placed on the y-axis, while the x-axis is the timescale.
Uses
- Line charts are great for comparing multiple variables and visualizing trends for both single as well as multiple variables, especially if your dataset has many time periods (more than 10).
- For smaller time...
