Customizing Line and Area Plots (Standard & Radar)

The following properties allow you to fine-tune the appearance of lines in Line and Area Plots. You can experiment with these settings by modifying the configuration of any line or area plot demos.

Line Aspect

The Line Aspect property defines the style of the line connecting data points:

• Default – A straight line connecting each data point.

• Spline – A smooth Bézier curve that flows through the data points.

• Step Center, Step Left, Step Right – A stepped line where changes occur at different positions along the step. These styles are useful for visualizing discrete changes. You can explore these options in the Single Line Demo to see their differences in action.

Swapping Axes

Enabling the Swap Axes option flips the Line Plot, orienting the x-axis vertically instead of horizontally. This can be useful for specific data presentations where a vertical time series or category arrangement is preferred.

type=warning

The Swap Axes option is not applicable to Radar Line Plots, as these plots always arrange categories radially around a central point.
