# Line charts

> Trends and patterns over time

Line charts are best for continuous trends over time. Use them when your x-axis is a date or timestamp.

## When to use

* Time series metrics (signups, revenue, conversions)
* Comparing trends with breakdowns (by region, plan, etc.)

## Example prompt

```
Show me daily user signups over the last 30 days as a line chart
```

## Tips

* Prefer `DAY`, `WEEK`, or `MONTH` intervals depending on range
* Use breakdowns to compare segments
