ZoomCharts’ Area feature simplifies the process of presenting information in time charts by allowing users to view your data with greater speed and comprehend it with greater efficiency. Rather than using simple lines to connect data points, entire areas are filled with solid blocks of color.

ZoomCharts’ Area time charts are being used to enhance data visualization in a variety of educational fields, including science and mathematics, such as anatomy, biochemistry, ecology, microbiology, nutrition, neuroscience, physiology, zoology, chemical engineering, geochemistry, molecular biology, geology, paleontology, physics, astronomy, algebra, computer science, geometry, logic, and statistics, and the arts such as, music, dance, theatre, film, animation, architecture, applied arts, photography, graphic design, interior design, and mixed media.

- Instead of colored lines, display data using entire colored areas
- Colored areas help to clearly distinguish information
- Vibrant areas heighten the user’s visual experience
