Line widget
Updated
The Line widget is a visualization widget that helps to display trends and changes over time. It consists of a series of data points, each represented by a dot or marker, connected by straight line segments to create a line graph. The Line widget can be customized with different colors, labels, and axis scales to communicate complex data clearly and concisely.
