Always maintain transparency levels around 20% to 50% for high contrast.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep Series to 2 or 3:<\/strong> Too many overlapping area shapes cause visual confusion. For 4 or more cumulative continuous datasets, use a stacked area chart instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Set <code>boundaryGap: false<\/code>:<\/strong> Removing horizontal margins on time axes allows area
