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.

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.

A time series graph uses continuous data (rather than fixed categories, as in a bar chart) making it possible to create trend lines that give you an instant impression of the direction of change. Comparisons of performance of the different datasets are then simple to make.

Financial charts
Historical visualization
Scientific data like temperatures, tides and other sets across time periods
