Curve are not smooth

Same Data Same Graph, Different Visualization.

@nabeelmukhtar ,

Download custom visual "Power KPI" and in formatting set line type to monotous.
Below is screenshot: left image classic line chart, right image Power KPI chart.
* Note: i am not sure if you will be able to display same x axis value (in my example year-month), as i think it will always display kpi value so i hidden x axis.

Hello @nabeelmukhtar and @nandic 

You may be aware of this, but from the july 2023 release smooth lines are available.
See release note :
Release note july 2023

or the snippet from the release note below to see how you can change line type to smooth:

Hi @nabeelmukhtar 

 

Think of it this way. When you have a bar in the top chart it starts exactly at one point of line. So if the line is smoothly curved on the bar that means at some point on the bar it will represent that it was bit low or bit high and increases or decreases gradually.

 

But, Where ever that bar starts after the previous bar ends, the line chart data suddenly chages to some x value.

So, you and I will understand, the person using looking at the chart will not and perceive it in a wrong way, To correctly represent the data and bar together the top chart looks like it should.

 

Did I resolve your issue? Mark my post as a solution!

Actually both of the graphs are the same with the same data. the only difference is visuals are different. Also, these graphs are also working well but suddenly it shows like corner edges.
