# Tutorial | Paneled and animated charts

This tutorial showcases creating paneled charts and vibrant animations with playback control.

## Supporting data

This tutorial uses a dataset that is the result of enriching the orders data with customer data and preparing for visualization. You can download orders_enriched_prepared as a csv file.

## A basic line chart

We’ll start from a basic line chart that shows the total sales (y-axis) by month of the year (x-axis) and separate lines by the category of T-shirt sold. This is a useful way to look at the patterns of purchases over the course of a year, but we’d also like to see the breakdown by gender.

## Paneling a chart

One way to see the breakdown by gender is by paneling, or creating subcharts. Creating a paneled chart is as simple as adding gender as the column to define subcharts.

This is a useful way to look at the breakdown by gender, but now we’d like to gain further insight by looking at how the monthly patterns of purchases change from year-to-year.

## Animating a chart

A video below goes through the content of this section.

One way to see the year-to-year change is to animate the chart. This is done in Dataiku by:

- Adding order_date_year as the column to define animations.

- Setting the binning to use None, use raw values.

- Clicking the play button.

You can set the speed of playback, pause the playback, step through years individually at your own pace, or select a specific year to examine.
