About This Feature

Overview

Line Chart is a chart component in the WPS Office dashboard on macOS. It is designed to show trends in data over time or in sequence. After you add the component, you can continue to configure the data source, horizontal and vertical axis settings, grouping, sorting, and chart style, then copy or export the chart as an image.

Core capabilities include:

Create a line chart: add a default line chart from the component panel and enter editing mode.
Edit and export: use the menu in the upper-right corner of the component to configure, copy, copy as image, export as image, or delete the chart.
Set type and data: configure the data source, data range, dimension, metric, grouping, sorting, and visible detail fields.
Adjust chart style: change theme colors, line effects, series colors, and chart elements such as the title, legend, and data labels.

This feature fits trend dashboards, periodic data analysis, and grouped comparisons.

Capability Summary	Add a line chart directly in the dashboard, then configure the data source, axes, grouping, sorting, style, and output it as an image.	Excel supports creating line charts, adjusting chart design, legends, axes, and styles, and saving or copying charts as pictures.	Google Sheets supports inserting and editing charts. Line charts can be customized with data ranges, titles, legends, and gridlines, and charts can be downloaded as PNG, SVG, or PDF.	Notion supports line charts in database chart views, with X/Y axis settings, grouping, smooth lines, legends, and PNG or SVG export. It is built around database views rather than spreadsheet charts.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on exporting images or selections from PDFs. It supports image export workflows, but it does not provide a native spreadsheet-style line chart creation flow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the line chart can be created directly from a dashboard component panel. Distinct: creation, configuration, copy as image, and export as image are handled in one component workflow.	Compared with WPS: Excel is centered on worksheet-based chart creation and analysis rather than a dashboard component entry.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets is centered on online spreadsheet chart editing and download rather than dashboard-style component management.	Compared with WPS: Notion charts depend on database views. The free plan can try one chart, while paid plans can create unlimited charts.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is more suitable for PDF export and conversion tasks than dashboard trend chart configuration.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to build a trend chart quickly inside a WPS dashboard and continue with styling and image export in the same workflow, WPS Line Chart provides a focused path. Excel and Google Sheets are stronger matches for worksheet-centered chart work, Notion is better suited to database-based dashboards, and Adobe Acrobat is oriented toward PDF export tasks.
