# Spot Trends

Add reference lines to mark specific values on an axis, or use trend lines to visualise statistical trends in your data. To clarify the exact position of data points, especially in dense visualisations, you can add drop lines. For discovering underlying patterns, clustering will automatically group similar data points together.
