Linear Line Chart

Q: How do I get sharp corners?

lineY rounds its joins by default (lineJoin: "round"), which softens each corner a little. Set lineJoin: "miter" for pointed corners, or "bevel" to cut them flat.

Q: How do I mark each reading?

Add points: true to lineY for a small dot on every reading, or a dot mark over the same rows when you want to size and color them, as the Line Chart with Dots does.

Q: What happens with a missing month?

A row whose y is null or undefined breaks the line: lineY ends the segment there and starts a new one at the next valid row. That's usually right for missing data. Filter the row out instead if you want the line to bridge the gap.

Q: Can I mix a straight line and a curve on one chart?

Yes. curve belongs to each line mark, so a measured series can stay straight while a projection beside it uses a natural curve and a strokeDasharray.

A line drawn as straight segments from month to month, so it never hints at values between two readings. For Svelte, drawn with TanStack Charts.

About

Pick it over the smooth line when the readings are all you know: monthly snapshots, prices, counts. Straight segments promise nothing between two months, while a curve can bulge above the highest reading. The corners also make each month easy to find without dots.

Six monthly values joined by straight strokes, over horizontal grid lines, with three-letter months below. The tooltip shows the value without the month.

Usage

<ChartLineLinear />

Customize

Leaving out curve is the only change from the smooth Line Chart: without one, lineY joins the points with straight segments.
lineJoin defaults to "round", which softens each corner. Set lineJoin: "miter" for sharp angles.
The rows are { month, desktop }, and the stroke is var(--color-desktop) from chartConfig.desktop, 2px wide.
points: true puts a small dot on every reading, the quickest way to show where the data actually is.
ChartContainer's tooltip passes { hideLabel: true }: the value alone, since the month sits right under the point.

FAQ

When should I use straight segments instead of a curve?

When the points are measurements and nothing is known between them: prices, inventory, survey results. A natural curve rounds every turn and can bulge past a point, which reads as a value that never happened. Curves suit overviews where the general shape matters more than each reading.

Yes. curve belongs to each line mark, so a measured series can stay straight while a projection beside it uses a natural curve and a strokeDasharray.

Can people reach each month without a mouse?

Yes. Tab focuses the chart, the arrow keys move from point to point, and Home and End jump to January and June. Each move updates the tooltip, which screen readers announce politely.
