Properties - Layers - Linechart

With the Linechart layer you can add your very own customized line chart to the KPI, using it to display trend or time series data. A good example is to add a bar chart as a background behind other objects with added opacity. This article contains details of the settings specific to the linechart layer. You can find more information on the shared settings for layers here.
