Line chart
Our powerful line charts let you add annotations, range highlights, and color keys — as beautifully for desktop readers as for mobile readers.
Create a line chart
It’s free & no sign-up is needed.
Going up? Going down? Use a line chart to show it.
Line charts are easy to read – and with Datawrapper, also easy to create.
Looks great on desktop devices. And tablets. And smartphones.
All our charts, maps & tables you create with Datawrapper are responsive – but our line charts show especially well how we make this happen.
On mobile devices,
- direct labels move above the chart
- fewer x-axis labels appear
- font sizes stay readable
And the best part: You don’t need to worry about any of this. It all happens by default for every line chart you create.
Show what happens and why with annotations
Annotations are great to highlight data points or to add custom labels – and in Datawrapper, you can add them with one click.
For advanced needs: Confidence intervals
To make sure readers get a true image of the data, it makes a lot of sense to visualize how uncertain it is.
Datawrapper line charts lets you add confidence intervals with our “Fill between lines” feature.
Direct labeling
Let Datawrapper automatically label your categories directly to reduce cognitive load and make them easier to read.
Highlight areas
Use our vertical and horizontal range highlights to mark time ranges, e.g. to highlight projections.
Colorblind check
Benefit from our colorblindness simulator that automatically flags problematic colors. Learn more.
