New line charts
Like the new column chart, the new line chart is one of ThoughtSpot’s simplest, yet most versatile chart types. More often than not the line chart will be chosen as your default chart type.
New line charts displays your data as a series of data points connected by straight line segments. The measurement points are ordered by the x-axis value.
New line chart features
-
Complete flexibility to handle any combination of grouped or dual axes
-
Ability to apply color slicing even when multiple measures are plotted
-
New data-marker styles: square, wye, cross, and more
Supported configurations
-
Multivariate charts
-
Multiple measure lines in a single shared axis
-
Multiple measure lines in a dual axis - each measure line being a part of either axis
Automatic transformations
-
Shared axis - Automatically apply measure name (MN) and measure value (MV) for measures in a shared axis and also apply identity transform
-
Dual axis - Automatically apply
transform type == identity
Default chart recommendations
-
For two or fewer measures, use a dual-axis chart.
-
For three or more measures, use a multivariate chart.
Limitations
-
When color slicing is applied to multiple measures, the system automatically converts the visualization into a multivariate chart.
