Trend charts are a way to graphically present trend logs. A trend chart can contain one or more trend logs that are represented in the trend chart by lines or bars.

You can also add and remove trend logs from a trend chart. This makes it easy to compare different trend logs, for example the energy consumption compared to the average temperature.
