# Time series
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/time-series-panel/time_series_small_example.png" max-width="1200px" caption="Time series" >}}
Time series visualization is the default and primary way to visualize time series data. It can render as a line, a path of dots, or a series of bars. It is versatile enough to display almost any time-series data. [ This public demo dashboard](https://play.grafana.org/d/000000016/1-time-series-graphs?orgId=1) contains many different examples for how this visualization can be configured and styled.
> **Note:** You can migrate Graph panel visualizations to Time series visualizations. To migrate, open the panel and then select the **Time series** visualization. Grafana transfers all applicable settings.
## Common time series options
These options are available whether you are graphing your time series as lines, bars, or points.
