How deeply does Data Storytelling with Altair and AI cover line?

Defines endpoint coordinates and demonstrates Altair rendering, stopping short of general line-chart analysis.

Line

As explained in Data Storytelling with Altair and AI

A line is a graphical mark that connects plotted data positions to represent continuity or progression.

A line connects plotted positions to show movement from one step to the next. In a visualized roadmap, it links campaign rectangles so the audience can follow progression. section 9.2.1

Connecting campaign steps

Represent the spaces between three campaign rectangles with a DataFrame containing x, y, x2, and y2 coordinates. In Altair, mark_line(point=True, strokeWidth=2) draws each connector; combining it with the rectangles and labels produces the roadmap.
