Easily view trends in data over a period of time (e.g.: rising sales and large changes over time).
The Y axis shows numeric values and the X axis represents some key measurements (usually time).
Line charts are clear and easy to understand since you can see the specific trend for individual data group. Area charts are representing a volume especially as the part of the whole or when demonstrating the gap between variables.

Timeline enables easy view of a continues variables over time.
Area chart allows displaying a continues variable as the part-of-a-whole or view the difference between other variables.

Basic Flow

<< Relevant only for patterns that have a more complex flow than the typical control (e.g. drag & drop) >>
Special behaviour:

usually include an indication for the current time as a vertical line (e.g.: 10AM). Sometime may include a 2 lines as per time range.
in case of errors/notification, some of the data is indicate with a red color (specific point in time or a range).

Structure

<<Describe the different parts that structure the component. See example: Numeric stepper structure >>

Placement and Positioning

<<Where should the component be located on the screen. See example: Pagination placement and positioning>>

Default State

<<When there is more than one state for control or area. Including default values> see example: Numeric stepper default state >>

Content

<<Including labels, microcopy, number of items, order of items etc… See example: Buttons content >>

Internal Logic

<<if there is a certain mechanism that cannot be separated from the component. See example: Data tables internal logic >>

<<use Click target to describe the interaction>>
<<TBD - add a simple example of tooltip>>
Example from Queue analytics for overlay area chart

States

<<Remove non-related states or use NA to emphasize the component don’t have that state. See Text fields states >>

Validations and errors

<<Show images for Errors and warnings. See example: Radio button validations and errors>>

Transitions

<<Where possible describe shortly and demonstrate transitions or animations of the component pattern with animated GIF>>

Best practices

Use Line chart:

for showing comparisons, distributions, or trends between continuous data sets.

...

Do not insert too many data categories (should better no more than five data groups).
Try to highlight the most important data group of your resources.
Avoid very light or very close colors for your data groups. Make sure all of your details in the chart do not fade into the background.
