Line Graph Settings
Line Graphs are easy to understand and are a great way to communicate important time-based trends, clustering, and outliers.
They work especially well when comparing ten or fewer data sets (our Horizon Graph is a good solution for displaying time series data with ten or more data sets).
The line graph settings pane is displayed after clicking the Options button.
