Common mistakes

Uneven gaps drawn evenly

If moments are missing, the line should show the gap, not join across it.

Time running right to left

Readers expect the past on the left.

Questions

Which chart is best for a time series?

A line for one measure, an area for an amount, candlesticks for prices with a range.

How long can a time series be?

Hundreds of points; the axis labels thin out, the data does not.

In the kit

Line, area, candlestick and the other types.

In Figma and React, in four sizes, light and dark. Pay once, every update.
