Area

Overview

The area widget displays changes in a dependent variable over an independent variable like a line chart, but fills the area below the line with color to more intuitively represent the magnitude of data. It is suitable for emphasizing the scale of data over time, such as event volume or traffic.

For general information about query widgets, see Query widget.
