Hello IA Community:

I am currently creating a dashboard in ignition and would like to know how I can create a time series chart that looks like google's exchange rate chart like the image below

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/7/a78380362d50f847e275ae58b6a040e709c22bca.png)

For example if I have a tag for a transformer output power and I want to show the history in this style of a time series chart.

Thank you for your insights

I would use a [Multi-State Button](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/components/perspective-components/perspective-input-palette/perspective-multistate-button) for the options up top. Bind its value to a custom view property, and create two other view properties, `startDate` and `endDate`, whose values adjust based on the selected button value. Use those to generate a [Tag History Binding](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/perspective/working-with-perspective-components/bindings-in-perspective/tag-history-bindings-in-perspective) on a [TimeSeriesChart](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/components/perspective-components/perspective-chart-palette/perspective-time-series-chart).

Customizing it all to _look_ just like that is a matter of styling the various button and chart properties. I like that gradient fill, but that currently isn't available as an option (you can apply a solid fill with an overall given opacity).

@bmusson has his Embr-Charts module that has some amazing looking charts, it may be possible you could do a gradient fill like your image.
