Line Chart

line 

<LineChart 
    data={query_name}  
    x=column_x 
    y=column_y
/>

Examples​

Line​

line 

<LineChart 
    data={daily_complaints} 
    x=date 
    y=number_of_complaints 
    yAxisTitle="calls to Austin 311 per day"
/>

Multi-Series Line​

multi-series-line 

<LineChart 
    data={daily_volume_yoy} 
    x=day_of_year 
    y=cum_vol 
    series=year 
    yAxisTitle="cumulative calls" 
    xAxisTitle="day of year"
/>

Multiple y Columns​

multiple-y-line 

<LineChart 
    data={fda_recalls}  
    x=year
    y={["voluntary_recalls", "fda_recalls"]}
/>

Because x is the first column in the dataset and we want to plot all the remaining numerical columns in the table, we can simplify our code down to:

<LineChart data={fda_recalls}/>

Evidence will automatically pick the first column as x and use all other numerical columns for y.
