Line, area, and dot charts
Line and area chart visualizations show data on a graph by connecting plotted points with a line. Each point represents a single value in your data. You can drill down in all three chart types by double-clicking on a data point.
A line chart shows just the line connecting the dots on the graph and works well if you have a large amount of data to analyze.
An area chart shows an aggregate of your data and helps you spot trends quickly, by showing totals and how they are moving relative to each other.
A dot chart displays the distribution of a data set as plotted points on a graph.
