An Area Chart fills the region between a data line and the axis with color, emphasizing the magnitude of change over time. A single-series layout is perfect for tracking one metric across sequential categories such as days, months, or years.
This sample tracks ACME Corp. share prices throughout September 2015, with each day as a category on the X axis. Tooltips appear on hover via byX mode, rotated X-axis labels prevent overlap on dense daily data, and dollar-formatted Y-axis labels keep the financial context clear.
Follow the step-by-step Area Chart Tutorial to learn how such charts are built. See the Area Chart documentation for all configuration options.
