Each one is a purpose-built plugin with custom controls, query logic, and data transformations, rather than a generic ECharts wrapper. For **line charts specifically**, here's what's available out of the box via the Timeseries plugin [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/plugins/plugin-chart-echarts/src/Timeseries/types.ts#L44-L52): 1. **Line** — standard straight-line segments 2. **Smooth Line** — smoothed/curved lines 3. **Step (Start/Middle/End)** — three step-line variants 4. **Scatter** — point-only display 5. **Area** — an overlay option that can combine with any of the above line styles So you'll see ~2–3 distinct "line chart" entries in the chart picker (Line, Smooth Line, Step), which is fewer than what the Apache ECharts gallery shows because Superset only exposes chart types that have been fully implemented as plugins with their own control panels and data pipelines. This was confirmed to be an **architectural decision, not a configuration choice** — there are no feature flags or settings to unlock additional ECharts types [[3]](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/41663). To add a chart variant that isn't already included, you'd need to write a custom plugin. The [earlier reply in this thread](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/34101) and [this related discussion](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/41663) both walk through the steps for creating one. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset).* --- Docs are dead.
