When you create a new Billing Forecast widget, you can filter projections and customize the time range of forecasts. Based on the Forecast type you select, projections display either a line or bar chart of current and projected costs aggregated by day or month. Daily costs display a solid line for current costs and a dotted line for projections. Similarly, monthly costs display solid filled bars for current costs and half-filled or empty bars with a dotted outline for projections.
