Rate dot plot
Each member's view, year by year.
Definition · Updated Nov 2, 2026
A rate dot plot puts one dot per person's forecast in each year, with the median marked, so agreement and spread show at once. Use it for rate projections, forecasts from a panel or any group estimate over a few periods.
Pay once. Every update included.

Something else?
hello@usechartory.comOne member's view for that year. Equal views sit side by side in a row, so a wide row means many members agree. The legend names member view and median.
Where members expect the rate to settle, shown as the last column after the dated years.
One data object in the sample’s shape: one estimate per member per period. 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/rate-dot-plot. You review the diff.
