Time Series Chart

The Time Series Chart widget is a powerful visualization tool that enables users to track data over time. It allows for detailed analysis of trends by mapping metrics against time on the x-axis and visualizing multiple data series on the y-axis. This chart supports various visual styles, multiple series, and advanced customization.

Key Features:​

  • Customizable X-Axis: Set time ranges for analysis to focus on specific periods.
  • Multiple Y-Axis Series: Add multiple data series to compare metrics across different digital twins or capabilities.
  • Chart Types: Choose from various chart styles such as line, area, or bar charts.
  • Dynamic Y-Axis Scaling: Automatically adjusts based on the minimum and maximum values of the selected capabilities.
  • Advanced Visualization: Customize the Y-axis position (left or right) for better data differentiation.

Use Cases:​

  • Trend Analysis: Monitor key metrics such as production rates, energy usage, or environmental factors over time.
  • Comparative Insights: Compare performance across multiple data series to identify patterns or correlations.
  • Real-Time Monitoring: Visualize live data streams for real-time insights and decision-making.
