How to Draw a Line Chart Quickly

Using a Line chart is a way to show a relationship between two sets of data points. Line graphs (line charts) are most often used to visualize data that changes over time. A Line Graph shows how a change of one parameter affects the value of another. It is widely used in business. For example, the line chart used in a market analysis. A line chart in trade depicts prices or number of sales over time. Generally, the Line chart provides a visual representation of the change of values, depending on certain factors. For example, you can make a line graph of how the certain animal gains weight over time, or as the average temperature in the city varies from month to month. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to draw a Line Chart quickly and easily using special libraries, supplied by the Basic Line Graphs solution.
You can create a Line chart using:

• Line graph (text -> height) shapes.
• Line graph (control dots) shapes.

Line graph (text -> height) shapes.

1. Drag and drop chart shape from the library supplied with the Basic Line Graphs solution to your document.

2. To make changes in your chart use the Action menu commands.

3. To change value or chart caption select the chart, then type.
4. To move category labels up and down select the chart and use control dot in the bottom right corner of the shape.
5. To change space between points select the chart and use control dot on the horizontal axis.
