When to Use a Line Chart

Line charts work best for continuous data over time — where the shape of the trend is the story.

Revenue & MRR Growth

Track monthly recurring revenue or total sales over time. The trend line makes growth or decline immediately visible.

Website Traffic

Show daily active users, page views, or sessions over weeks or months. Line charts handle dense time-series data cleanly.

Stock Price Performance

Display price movement over a quarter or year. Multiple lines let you compare assets on the same chart.

User Growth

Show new signups, installs, or followers over time. A smooth animated line makes growth milestones satisfying to watch.

Multi-metric Comparison

Overlay two or three metrics — revenue, costs, profit — on the same chart. Each line gets its own color.

Cohort Trends

Track how different cohorts behave over time. Line charts make it easy to see when one cohort outperforms another.

Line Chart vs Area Chart: Which Should You Use?

Both show trends over time — but they have different visual weight.

Line Chart

Best for: Multiple overlapping series, precise data point emphasis, and clean professional presentations.

Strength: Minimalist — focuses attention on the trend and makes multiple series easy to distinguish.

Use when: Comparing several metrics or wanting an uncluttered, analytical look.

Area Chart

Best for: Emphasizing total volume, showing cumulative growth, and creating strong visual impact.

Strength: The filled region makes scale and magnitude immediately obvious — good for social media.

Use when: You want to emphasize total growth or volume rather than precise data points.

AECharts supports both. Switch between line and area to find the right format for your data.
