Remarks

An area chart is very similar to a line chart. Data is displayed using different colors in the "area" below the line. Each series of points is represented with a different color. Area charts are commonly used to display accumulated values over a period of time. Area series displays graphically the quantitative data in a chart. It displays a series as a set of points connected by a line or spline with all the area filled in below the line.
