Differences Between Area and Line Charts in Zendesk Explore

Understand the differences between area and line charts in Zendesk Explore, focusing on shading and customization options.

How do area charts differ from line charts in Zendesk Explore?

Area charts in Zendesk Explore are similar to line charts but with an added feature of shading the area under the line to show the weight of results.

Like line charts, area charts use lines to track results over time. However, they also shade the area beneath the line, which can help emphasize the magnitude of the data. You can customize the opacity of the shaded areas, line shape, and stack results. The chart configuration menu allows for similar axis and color customizations as line and column charts.
