While colors help convey meaning, in certain cases choosing different line patterns could help differentiate between lines for people with color blindness or making lines bold could make them stand out from the rest. Some enhancements like step line interpolation are more than a styling feature where you would prefer to display step lines for data that changes at a specific point in time and at irregular intervals. For example, if you were to build a chart of postage stamp prices in the US, a step line would be preferred than a slope to indicate change in price. The line between the dates would remain flat till the next price change is observed. To learn more, click here.

Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland and London), South America (São Paulo) and AWS GovCloud (US-West).
