 ## Offsets
 
-Offsets are useful to shift data in the temporal axis. For example, if you have a sensor that reports the forecasted temperature 3 hours from now, it means that the current value should be plotted in the future. With the `offset` attribute you can shift the data so it is placed in the correct position.
+Offsets are useful to shift data in the temporal axis. For example, if you have a sensor that reports the forecasted temperature 3 hours from now, it means that the current value should be plotted in the future. With the `time_offset` attribute you can shift the data so it is placed in the correct position.
 Another possible use is to compare past data with the current one. For example, you can plot yesterday's temperature and the current one on top of each other.
 
-The `offset` flag can be specified in two places.
-**1)** When used at the top level of the configuration, it specifies how much "future" the graph shows by default. For example, if `hours_to_show` is 16 and `offset` is 3h, the graph shows the past 13 hours (16-3) plus the next 3 hours.

+- Decimal values (e.g `hours_to_show: 0.5`)
+- Duration strings (e.g `hours_to_show: 2h`, `3d`, `1w`, `1M`). See #Duration

+### Dynamic Relative Time

+Shows the current day, hour, etc from beginning to end.
+The options are: `current_minute`, `current_hour`, `current_day`, `current_week`, `current_month`, `current_quarter`, `current_year`
