When to use it
Section titled “When to use it”A line with the space under it filled — same data as a line chart, more visual weight on how much. One or two series at most; fills occlude each other quickly.
Field wells
Section titled “Field wells”| Well | Accepts | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| X Axis | dimension | |
| Values (Y) | measures | multiple measures = multiple series; each has a quick-calc dropdown |
| Series / Color | dimension | splits each value into one series per category value |
| Small multiples | dimension | one mini-panel per value (trellis) |
| Tooltip | fields | extra fields shown on hover |
Click a field in the Fields list, or drop it on the chart, and it goes to the well that fits it — see where a field goes. To choose the well yourself, drop the field on it or use its + Add field.
Measure wells carry a quick-calc dropdown (running total, YoY %, % of total, …); SquareX measures are listed with the fields, under Measures.
