Horizon chart components

Learn how horizon chart components emphasize meaning.

Visual elements

Lanes

A horizon chart shows multiple lanes stacked on top of one another. Every horizontal lane in the horizon chart represents one time series.

Bands

Every lane in a horizon chart shows layered bands or areas. A band is like a horizontal slice of an area chart. Layering bands collapses taller areas into a smaller space. Higher value bands appear in front of lower value bands.

Color

Bands use color to show how their values relate to a baseline. Values above a baseline appear in shades of one color. Values below a baseline appear in shades of a contrasting color. Deeper shades represent higher values.

Interactive elements

Hover

When you over any part of a horizon chart, a vertical line appears. This line represents a particular time in the chart time range. On hover, the line shows the values for each time series at the selected time.
