# Charts just got a make-over ✨

Following the addition of formulas in the previous release, charts had some quirks and UX that needed improving.

## 💯 A table

Underneath every chart we've introduced a table that replaced the awkward tooltip on hover. It displays the value for the current hovered position (or its nearest neighbour).

When not hovered you can select different statistics: mean, sum, standard deviation, min and max, to easily compare runs against each other.

## 🔥 Tooltips

We did not kill tooltips, but we made them much more usable. Instead of showing everything (better viewed in the table), we now only show the value of the most recently hovered line.

If you highlight one or more lines the tooltip will show values for all the highlighted lines. Highlight a line by clicking the corresponding colour in the table or directly on the line.

## 🔣 Units: same same, but different

Often you want to plot a handful of metrics in the same chart. Before, each would get its own axis. Now you decide whether metrics that share units should also share axes. Toggle "Combine shared y-axes" depending on what's useful in your context.
