Target trend chart
A measure against its target, and when it slipped.
Definition · Updated Nov 2, 2026
A target trend chart draws one measure against a target line and marks the moment it crossed or doubled. A dashed target, a marker at the change and the latest value make the slip clear. Use it for run times, latency and error rates that have a service target.
Pay once. Every update included.

Re-laid out, never scaled.
The same data at XS, S, M and L. Every size is redrawn from the data, so text and line weights never shrink.

When to use
Over or under the line.
Three signs it fits, and three signs another type fits better.
Is the slip itself the story?
The steps of an incident.
Yes: Keep the target trend
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 moment named in the data, such as the point it doubled (DOUBLED 09:40 in the sample).
So it reads as a reference, not as a second series. The measure is the one solid line; the dashed target sits behind it.
One data object in the sample’s shape: one value per point, a target. 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 Figma component comes with Figma and Complete, the React component with Code 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/target-trend. You review the diff.
