Cluster map
Similar items grouped into named clusters.
Definition · Updated Nov 2, 2026
A cluster map places items by how similar they are, so they gather into groups, then names each group. Big and small clusters stand out. Use it for support tickets, feedback or search queries.
Pay once. Every update included.

When to use
What people are asking about.
Three signs it fits, and three signs another type fits better.
Are the groups found from the data?
Groups you already know.
Yes: Keep the cluster map
Code and Figma
One name in Figma and in code.
Every Figma property is a prop with the same name and values. One command installs it.

Something else?
hello@usechartory.comCloseness means similarity: tickets that read alike sit near each other. The axes have no units.
With a label on each group (BILLING, BUGS).
One data object in the sample’s shape: a centre, a spread and a count per cluster. The docs page lists every field and links its JSON Schema; the sample data comes with the component, so you can start from it and swap in your own.
Series take the preset’s data colours in order, and states such as up, down or warning take its status colours. Change the preset in Figma or in code to recolour every chart at once.
XS, S, M and L, in light and dark. Each size is laid out again from the data, so text and lines keep their size.
Yes. It plays in when it scrolls into view, and when the data changes every mark moves from its old place to its new one. With reduced motion on, it does not move.
Yes. The React component is free in the public registry in Hearth, no token needed; Signal comes with Code and Complete. The Figma component comes with Figma and Complete.
Ask for it by name. The MCP server tells the agent what data it needs and runs the same command: npx shadcn add @chartory/cluster-map. You review the diff.
