# Line Charts

> Line charts are good at showing trends over intervals of time, and are often Invoca's default chart type.

Like the [column chart](/s/article/column-charts), the line chart is one of Invoca's simplest, yet most versatile, chart types, and Invoca often chooses it as your default visualization.

Line charts display your data as a series of data points connected by straight line segments. The system orders the measurement points by the x-axis value.

Your search must have at least one attribute and one Measure to be represented as a line chart. If your search has multiple attributes, you can slice with color to sort by the second attribute — see [Configure columns for the X and Y axes](/s/article/configure-columns-x-y-axes).
