Trend visualizations should be used for datasets that have a sequential, numeric X that is not time. Some examples are function graphs, rpm/torque curves, supply/demand relationships, and elevation or heart rate plots along a race course (with x as distance or duration from start).
Trend visualizations should be used for datasets that have a sequential, numeric x-field that is not time. Some examples are function graphs, rpm/torque curves, supply/demand relationships, and elevation or heart rate plots along a race course (with x as distance or duration from start).
For example, you could represent engine power and torque versus speed where speed is plotted on the x-axis and power and torque are plotted on the y-axes:
{{<figuresrc="/media/docs/grafana/screenshot-trend-visualization-v12.0.png"max-width="750px"alt="Trend engine power and torque curves">}}
Trend visualizations support all visual styles and options available in the [time series visualization](ref:time-series-visualization) with these exceptions:
- No annotations or time regions
- No shared cursor/crosshair
- No multi-timezone xaxis
- No ability to change the dashboard time range via drag-selection
- No multi-timezone x-axis
- No ability to change the dashboard time range using drag-selection
## X Field selection
## Configuration options
Use this option to select a field that contains increasing numeric values.

### Panel options
For example, you could represent engine power and torque versus speed where speed is plotted on the x axis and power and torque are plotted on the y axes.

There are three axis options shared files, axis-options-1.md, axis-options-2.md, and axis-options-3.md to cover the most common combinations of options.
Using shared files ensures that content remains consistent across visualizations that share the same options and users don't have to figure out which options apply to a specific visualization when reading that content.
This file is used in the following visualizations: candlestick, xy chart

Options under the **Axis** section control how the x- and y-axes are rendered. Some options don't take effect until you click outside of the field option box you're editing. You can also press `Enter`.
