Annotation Chart (ToDo)

In this article, we will explain how to create and customize a Annotation chart. So let's get started!

PreviousHistogram ChartNextTable Chart

Last updated 1 month ago

An annotation interactive timeline chart is a type of chart that visualizes a series of events or milestones over a period of time. It typically consists of a horizontal timeline with markers or events plotted along the timeline, and it allows users to add annotations or notes to the chart to provide additional context or information.

Here is an example of an Annotation chart with sample data. This chart shows a series of events that have occurred over a six-month period. The x-axis represents the date of the event, and the y-axis represents the event itself. The user can add annotations to the chart to provide additional context or information about the events. For example, the user might add an annotation to provide more details about the marketing campaign, or to highlight the impact of the sales increase on the company's revenue.
