Diverging bar chart: a React and Figma chart in four sizes
What does a diverging bar chart show?
A diverging bar chart draws positive values up and negative values down from one zero line, so gains and losses per period read at once. Use it for inflow and outflow, net change and anything with two directions.
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 Diverging bars component?
It is one <DivergingBars> component. Its props are the Figma properties with the same names and values, and the props table above lists them. The data is a positive and a negative value per period.
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?
- Do values go both ways? Yes means the diverging bars fit.
- Is each period its own amount? Yes means the diverging bars fit.
- Does the size matter, not only the sign? Yes means the diverging bars fit.
When does another type fit better?
- All values are positive. Use Bars instead.
- Steps from one total to another. Use Waterfall instead.
- Only the sign over many periods. Use Funding stripes instead.
Diverging bar questions
Installing, data, Figma and plans.
Yes. It installs through the shadcn registry with the shadcn CLI, and the file lands in your project.
It is free in Hearth and MIT licensed: add the @chartory registry URL once, no token, then run npx shadcn add @chartory/diverging-bars. The Installation guide has the steps.
Yes. Connect the Chartory MCP server and ask for the diverging bars chart; the agent runs the same command and you review the diff.
A positive and a negative value per period. The sample data comes with the component, and the props table lists every field.
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.
Yes. chart/004-diverging-bars has the same properties as the component.
Yes. Every paint is a token, so the chart follows light and dark mode and the collection you pick.
None for Hearth: it is free in the public registry, no token. The Signal collection (@chartory/signal) comes with Code and Complete.
