Adding a Spline Chart creates smooth, flowing lines for a cleaner, more professional look, making your data easier to interpret.
Types of Spline Charts
- Splines – Connects data points with smooth, curved lines, making trends easier to follow.
- Single Spline – Displays only one set of data, making it useful for tracking a specific trend.
- Area-spline – Fills the space beneath the curved line, visually emphasizing the size of changes over time.
- Stacked Area-spline – Layers multiple area-spline charts to show how different categories contribute to the whole dataset.
How to Add a Spline Chart?
- Navigate to the Charts section.
- Scroll down to find "Lines and Area".
- From there, select the type of chart you wish to use and click on it to add it to your canvas.
You can use the bounding box around the chart to resize it, making it larger or adjusting the proportions as needed.
