Time Series Graph
Complex time series graph to visualize detailed financial data.
What is a time series graph?
A time series graph (also referred as time series plot) is a line graph used to visualize patterns and behaviors of one or more activities/elements (e.g., currency values, stock prices, ocean tides, temperature, etc.) over time.
In such a graph, one or more time series—sets of data points indexed in temporal/historical order—are plotted together along a chronologic x-axis, allowing the observation of shared or dissonant trends and patterns. Hence, also enabling the comparison of the performance of the different datasets.
