Basic

Overview

Basic charts provide streamlined interfaces for the most common data visualization needs. These tools offer simplified parameters compared to general-purpose chart generators, making them ideal for quick visualizations without requiring extensive configuration.

Line charts created with LINE are essential for displaying trends over time or continuous relationships between variables. They connect data points in sequence, making them ideal for time series data, progress tracking, and comparing multiple series. The implementation handles axis formatting, grid lines, and legends automatically while producing publication-quality output.

Basic chart tools build on Matplotlib, ensuring compatibility with scientific and engineering workflows while remaining accessible to users who need straightforward visualizations without diving into plotting library details. Output is delivered as base64-encoded PNG images suitable for embedding in spreadsheet cells, documents, or web applications.
