Hi, First, I want to use a time series chart, but I only want to show lines. Second, I could not find how to change the color of the values in the Y axis. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/2/b261e328d3400a1457f3382bfe91a4f902f73761.png) Thanks. ---

I'm assuming Perspective. (Add the tag to your question title using the dropdown tag selector.) > First, I want to use a time series chart, but I only want to show lines. You seem to have succeeded. > Second, I could not find how to change the color of the values in the Y axis. ![Timeseries y-axis values color](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/d/4d9b04946b2005113111066c759962f0af9544d9.png) 1. If you click `plots.0.axes` + button an axis is added. 2. Give it a name which you will use in `plots.0.trends.0.axis` (selecting from the dropdown.) 3. You can create a Y-axis label via `plots.0.axes.0.label.text` and it should appear. 4. You can set the Y-axis caption color with `plots.0.axes.0.label.font.color`. 5. You can set the tick values color with `plots.0.axes.0.tick.label.font.color`. ---

See > **[What is High-Performance HMI? - RealPars](https://www.realpars.com/blog/high-performance-hmi)** for guidance on trends. For example you will note that the trends in ![65f854814fd223fc3678fadf_Proper-Use-Of-Color](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/6/46a141d726a04390f25a2f339c8a437dd629dd04.png) don't have any units - just an "in-band" (light blue). They've also removed all the clutter (motors, valves, impellor, etc.) and standardised the colors and their meanings.
