## Bullet chart: a React and Figma chart in four sizes

### What does a bullet chart show?

A bullet chart shows a measure as a bar, its target as a tick and poor-to-good ranges as bands behind. Several bullets stack into one compact card. Use it for revenue, orders and rates you track against a plan.

Chartory ships it as a Figma component and a React component with the same name. The code installs from the shadcn registry with one command and lands in your project as a file you own.

### What is the Bullet component?

It is one **<Bullet>** component. Its props are the Figma properties with the same names and values, and the props table above lists them. The data is actual, target and ranges per measure.

Sizes **XS**, **S**, **M** and **L** re-lay the chart out from the data instead of scaling it, so labels stay readable at every size.

### When should I use it?

- **Does each measure have a target?** Yes means the bullet fits.
- **Are there several measures?** Yes means the bullet fits.
- **Do the ranges matter?** Yes means the bullet fits.

### When does another type fit better?

- **No target, just amounts.** Use Horizontal bars instead.
- **One measure, one ring.** Use Progress ring instead.
- **Only the share of a limit.** Use Limit tracks instead.

## Bullet chart questions

### Does the Bullet chart work with shadcn/ui?

Yes. It installs through the shadcn registry with the shadcn CLI, and the file lands in your project.

### How do I install it?

It is free in Hearth and MIT licensed: add the @chartory registry URL once, no token, then run npx shadcn add @chartory/bullet. The Installation guide has the steps.

### Can my coding agent install it?

Yes. Connect the Chartory MCP server and ask for the bullet chart; the agent runs the same command and you review the diff.

### What data does it expect?

Actual, target and ranges per measure. The sample data comes with the component, and the props table lists every field.

### Which sizes does it ship in?

XS, S, M and L, in Figma and in code. Each size is laid out again from the data, so text and lines keep their size.

### Is it in the Figma file too?

Yes. chart/008-bullet has the same properties as the component.

### Does it follow light and dark mode?

Yes. Every paint is a token, so the chart follows light and dark mode and the collection you pick.

### Which plan has the code?

None for Hearth: it is free in the public registry, no token. The Signal collection (@chartory/signal) comes with Code and Complete.
