###Dygraph Panel for Comparison


Some features that are available to users creating a dygraph include the use of event lines (command dyEvent) and shading (command dyShading).These 2 features used separately or combined allow a data analyst to create a story behind the data points and provide further explanation for any movement in the data. In this example using stocks, an event line could represent a major macroeconomic event that impacted the stock market (along with many other possibilities).

Number of Netflix Movies added each year from 2013 to 2021 by minimum age of intended audience.


The pie chart series would provide the most useful insight. In the pie chart series, you are able to examine the exact number of movies in each category and the proportions attributed to each age group in a given year. This is more insightful than the area plot that demonstrates a general trend without exact proportions.

Comparison of Line and Area Plot


The area plot represents total revenue by adding expenditures and net income. The proportions are visualized more clearly in the area plot as it shows how much of net income is represented by expenditures and net income. So, the area plot shows this relationship more clearly as in the line plot, the relationship is not as apparent.
