Orbit chart
Tiers around a centre, with how active each is.
Definition · Updated Nov 2, 2026
An orbit chart places groups on rings around a centre, from the biggest holders inside to the many small ones outside, with each tier's size and share active. Use it for wallets by tier, customers by plan or users by engagement.

Orbit questions.
What people ask before they put an orbit in a dashboard.
Something else?
hello@usechartory.comThe overall share active (87% in the sample).
The tier's dots. Its name, count and share active sit in the side list (Mid, 6.8K, 81%).
One data object in the sample’s shape: tiers with a count and a rate. 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/orbit. You review the diff.
