Summary

Superset's mixed time-series visualization feature, first introduced in version 1.2, allows for the overlaying of multiple time-series charts within a single chart container, providing an enhanced platform for comparative data analysis. This capability, leveraging Apache ECharts instead of the older NVD3, enables users to combine different types of charts, like line and bar graphs, to explore relationships and trends in temporal data more effectively. Mixed time-series charts are particularly useful for comparing subsets of data, such as daily and weekly active users, against a total population, or for visualizing rolling means to smooth out data fluctuations. The shared axes and charting space facilitate clearer comparisons, making it easier to identify patterns, trends, and anomalies. Superset achieves this by running separate SQL queries for each data series, merged by a common datetime range and grain, allowing users to craft custom visualizations that can be further tailored through chart customization options.
