Area chart
An area chart, like a line chart, displays the evolution of numeric variables over a continuous period of time. However, in an area chart, the area between the line and x-axis is filled with colour or texture.

Line chart
A line chart is a type of chart that displays the evolution of one or several numeric variables over a continuous interval or time period. Typically, the x-axis is used for a timescale or a sequence of intervals, while the y-axis reports values across that progression.

Line column chart
A line column chart is a type of visualization that combines both line and column charts together, using dual axes displayed on the left and right sides of the chart. It allows us to show the relationship of two variables with different magnitudes and scales.

Stacked area chart
As a variation of a simple area chart, a stacked area chart displays the changes of value of multiple data series over a period of time. The values of each data series are plotted on top of each other, which allows tracking not only the evolution of total value but also the breakdown of that total by groups.

Streamgraph
A streamgraph is a variation of a stacked area chart. Instead of displaying values on top of a fixed, straight baseline at the bottom of the stack, the values of the streamgraph are displaced around a central baseline. This results in a flowing, organic-shaped “stream” displaying the change over time.
