Tableau Constant Line<\/h3>\n

This is simply a line we add to a graph that has a value that doesn’t change. This value is typically hardcoded (or set) and is not determined by other values in the graph. For example, if we wanted to show the value of pi (3.1415927 \u2013 depending on the precision you want to show), we can use a constant line in tableau.<\/p>\n
