Line and area charts

In this exercise, we will use a line chart to track three important financial indicators for Threads Ltd: total sales amount (or revenue), total COGS, and gross profit. Then we will see how these measures move over time using area charts.

Line charts are a great way of tracking historical changes in a small number of features. But, you will see that area charts do not always make great replacements for line charts.
