For visualizations that support annotations, you can control how annotations are displayed by using the following options in the panel edit pane. These options are supported on the following visualizations: time series, candlestick, heatmap, state timeline, and status history.
-
Multi-row annotations – Display overlapping annotations on separate rows so that they are easier to read.
-
Annotation clustering – Group annotations that occur close together into a single cluster to reduce visual clutter.
-
Hide lines and areas – Hide the vertical lines and region shading that annotations draw on the visualization, showing only the annotation markers.
