Line Charts

Line charts can be used for data that consists of time values. The time values usually cover the x-axis of the chart, and have to be valid date-time stamps. If daily time values are absent, it is possible to use other valid date-time stamps, such as the first day of every month. The time values should occupy the first column of the chart's data source.
