Materials
Choose a Line finish while preserving its quantitative reading.
The Line material vocabulary is plain, paper, clay and glow. The finishes are static decoration, independent of curve and chart motion. Glass is paused and unmerged; it is not a supported material value.
Paper supplies grain and a pencil treatment, Clay supplies soft matte relief, and Glow supplies decorative light. A material does not transform data or improve keyboard coverage.

Configured LineChart.material | Applies to generated series |
Explicit LineSeries.material | Applies to its maintained curve; native dots and labels retain ownership |
Consumer paint takes precedence
Custom shapes and explicit filters retain their own finish. Native gradients, clipping, stroke, opacity and handlers remain under their documented contracts. Read the installed declarations and Line API before relying on a custom renderer.
Choose a finish with representative data
Inspect thin lines, dense overlaps, chart edges, missing values, zero and dark mode. Plot clipping can trim exterior effects. Filters add rendering work; plain lines provide a comparison. Keep labels and numeric boundaries legible. Automated coverage targets Chromium and pinned peers; other engines and print/export renderers are not established by that evidence.
