Donut chart
One total, split into a few parts.
Definition · Updated Nov 2, 2026
A donut chart splits one total into a few slices, a full pie in Hearth and a ring in Signal, with each part's amount and share listed beside it. Use it for revenue by plan, traffic by source or any single split with four or five parts.
Pay once. Every update included.

Past six, slices get thin and hard to tell apart. Fold the smallest parts into one before you pass them, or use a treemap.
One data object in the sample’s shape: two to six parts of one total. 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/donut. You review the diff.
