Minimal reproducer:
#defaultView:LineChart SELECT ?x ?y ?c WHERE { VALUES (?x ?y ?c) { (1 1 "") (2 2 "") } }
This should show a line from (1,1) to (2,2); instead it shows a single dot at (3,3).
A more realistic example, by @Fnielsen:
#defaultView:LineChart SELECT ?year (count(distinct ?citing_work) as ?count) ?author ?authorLabel WHERE { VALUES ?author { wd:Q6758402 wd:Q20980928 } { SELECT ?author (MIN(?work_year) AS ?first_year) WHERE { ?work wdt:P50 ?author . ?work wdt:P577 ?work_publication_datetime . BIND(YEAR(?work_publication_datetime) AS ?work_year) } GROUP BY ?author } ?work wdt:P50 ?author . ?citing_work wdt:P2860 ?work . ?citing_work wdt:P577 ?date . BIND(YEAR(?date) - ?first_year AS ?year) SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en". } } GROUP BY ?author ?year ?first_year ?authorLabel ORDER BY (?year)
This should show more than just two points connected by a straight line.
