- Brushing and Linking: Selecting data in one chart highlights it in others.
- Zooming and Panning: Exploring large or detailed datasets.
- Tooltips: Showing specific values on hover.
- Animation: Showing changes over time.
Benefits
- Empowers users to find their own insights.
- Handles complex, multi-dimensional data more effectively than static charts.
