Horizon chart
Many series, folded into thin rows.
Definition · Updated Nov 2, 2026
A horizon chart folds each series into a thin row of coloured bands, so many series fit on one card and still read clearly. Darker bands mean further from the average; colour tells above from below. Use it for currency pairs, servers or regions you watch together.

What people ask before they put a horizon in a dashboard.
Something else?
hello@usechartory.comEach row is one series. Above the average it takes one colour, below it the other, and each step darker means one more band away. The legend names both sides.
One value per point for each series, measured against that series' average, so all four pairs share one scale. The bands stop at three steps, so larger moves draw as the darkest band.
One data object in the sample’s shape: several series, one value per point. 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/horizon. You review the diff.
