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).

Usage & Behavior

General guidelines

...

  • enables comparing trend of multiple variables.

  • enables discussing trends over a certain time.

  • The Y axis shows numeric values and the X axis represents some key measurements (usually time).

  • Clear and easy to understand since you can see the specific trend for individual data group.

  • Useful when you need to compare multiple values line is better, or to show different data groups, or easily show positive or negative relationships between two or more variables.

  • When more than 2 areas overlapping it’s not readable (even while using transparency).

  • If your goal is to let readers understand the distribution of your selected data, or how a data group performed within a certain time period.

  • Useful for knowing general tendency and some other related details in your values.

Area chart

  • Area charts have a close pattern to line charts.

  • However, the room/gap between each line and the X axis is filled with a certain color, which demonstrate the difference between the displayed variables.

  • Very suitable for showing part-to-whole details.

  • Ideal for indicating the change among different data sets.

  • If your goals include the composition of some aspects of the data.

  • We have two basic categories: stacked and 100% stacked charts.

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 >>

Transitions

Best practices

<Whenever a recommendation (not a must) is provided>>

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.

  • Time axis - is best used on horizontal axis from left to right. Don't skip values (even if there are no values).
