Graph visualization

The Graph visualization provides several types of graphs, each configured through the Graph controls.

Select the Graph option from the visualization dropdown in the upper left.

Graph behavior

The Graph visualization color codes each table (or series) in the queried data set. When multiple series are present, it automatically assigns colors based on the selected Line Colors option.

When using a line graph, all points within a single table are connected. When multiple series are present, it automatically assigns colors based on the selected Line Colors option.
