The line chart, a type of comparison chart, connects data points with a series of continuous line segments to reflect the trend of data changes over time, categories, or ordered variables. It emphasizes the continuity and rate of change between data points rather than the specific values of individual data points.

The most basic line chart, which only shows the continuous change of a single data series over time or ordered categories.
Suitable for trend analysis of a single dataset, such as sales trends, stock prices, temperature changes, etc.
Overlay multiple lines in the same coordinate system to compare the synchronous changes of different data series.
Suitable for comparing changes in multiple variables, such as comparing sales of different products, temperature changes in different regions, etc.
Similar to a stacked bar chart but presented in line form, each line represents a dataset, and the area between lines is filled to represent cumulative values.
Suitable for showing cumulative changes in data, such as market share, inventory levels, etc.
Similar to a stacked line chart, but the sum of all lines is always 100%, used to show the proportional change of each part in the whole.
Suitable for analyzing the proportion change of each part in the whole, such as the sales proportion of different categories, the growth proportion of users in different age groups, etc.
