General Tips for Vue.js Area Charts
- In case of area charts, ensure that the data isn’t obscured in the background. Order dataseries thoughtfully and use transparency if required.
- Use index / data-labels to show additional information about the datapoint. But be very selective with it’s content as adding too many labels might affect it’s readability.
- Don’t use a stacked area chart when you want to show individual values accurately. Area charts are better suited in such cases.
