Lollipop chart
A slim bar with a marker at the value.
Definition · Updated Nov 2, 2026
A lollipop chart draws each value as a slim bar on a track, with a ringed marker at its end and a dotted drop line, so a few items compare cleanly in a light card. Use it for a short list of amounts such as regions or channels.
Pay once. Every update included.

Yes: Keep the lollipop
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.comThe same reading: length from zero. The slim bar and marker suit a light card with few items; full bars stay better when values are close.
Next to each marker ($478K, $386K, $596K, $174K in the sample), so the regions can be read without the axis.
One data object in the sample’s shape: one value per item. 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/lollipop. You review the diff.
