Line chart
Lines show how values change across ordered categories such as months. Choose a line when the trend matters more than any single value; for real timestamps, use a time series.
Several series
Mean monthly temperature in three cities. Values below zero extend the axis automatically.
Interpolation, markers and stroke
InterpolationOption bends the line between points. Straight is the honest default; splines are smoother but may overshoot the data.
Areas and per-series overrides
LineDisplayType.Area fills under every line. SeriesDisplayOverrides changes one series only, here the observed level against a forecast line.
Showing and hiding series
CanHideSeries adds check boxes to the legend. Your own controls can set ChartSeries.Visible too.
Axis range and format
Small changes look dramatic on a cropped axis. YAxisRequireZeroPoint starts the axis at zero; YAxisFormat formats the tick labels.
