 The area mark has three constructors: [areaY](#areaY) for when the baseline and topline share *x* values, as in a time-series area chart where time goes right→ (or ←left); [areaX](#areaX) for when the baseline and topline share *y* values, as in a time-series area chart where time goes up↑ (or down↓); and lastly the rarely-used [area](#area) where the baseline and topline share neither *x* nor *y* values.
 
-The area mark is often paired with a [line](./line.md) and [rule](./rule.md) mark to accentuate the topline and baseline.
+The **line** option <VersionBadge pr="2407" /> strokes the topline. It is often paired with a [rule](./rule.md) mark to denote the baseline.
