Dot plot with intervals

Estimates with how sure they are. Sample data: on-time delivery of six carriers with confidence intervals, against a 95% SLA.

Installation

  1. 1

    Set up the registry once

    This chart is free in Hearth and MIT licensed: no token. Add @chartory to components.json once (the URL alone, no headers), or skip this when another chart is already installed.

    Installation guide
  2. 2

    Add the chart

    One command adds the Dot plot with intervals component to your project.

    npx shadcn add @chartory/dot-plot-with-intervals
  3. 3

    Use it

    Pass your rows. The props are the Figma properties.

    usage.tsx
    import { DotPlotWithIntervals }  from "@/components/chartory/dot-plot-with-intervals"<DotPlotWithIntervals  data={carrierOnTime}  size="m"  legend/>

Props

<DotPlotWithIntervals>

Every prop but data is a Figma property with the same name and values.

PropTypeDefault
data: The chart's data. The tables below list every field.DotPlotWithIntervalsDataRequired
size: The size class. Each one is laid out again from the data."xs" | "s" | "m" | "l""m"
legend: Shows the legend row under the plot.booleantrue

DotPlotWithIntervalsData

The data prop: one object for the whole chart.

PropTypeDefault
min: The bottom of the value scale.numberRequired
max: The top of the value scale.numberRequired
target: The target value.numberRequired
ticks: The axis ticks: [value, label] pairs.[number, string][]Required
rows: One entry per row.DotPlotWithIntervalsRow[]Required

DotPlotWithIntervalsRow

One object per entry in rows.

PropTypeDefault
label: The name shown on the chart.stringRequired
v: The value.numberRequired
lo: The interval's low end.numberRequired
hi: The interval's high end.numberRequired

The data as a JSON Schema: schemas/dot-plot-with-intervals.json

Dot plot with intervals: a React and Figma chart in four sizes

What does a dot plot with intervals show?

A dot plot with intervals marks each estimate as a dot with a line for its confidence interval, against a target. Items whose interval crosses the target show as uncertain. Use it for on-time rates, conversion rates and survey results with sample sizes.

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 Dot plot with intervals component?

It is one <DotPlotWithIntervals> component. Its props are the Figma properties with the same names and values, and the props table above lists them. The data is an estimate and an interval per item.

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?

  • Is there an interval per item? Yes means the dot plot with intervals fits.
  • Is there a target? Yes means the dot plot with intervals fits.
  • Is it estimates, not raw spread? Yes means the dot plot with intervals fits.

When does another type fit better?

  • Plain values. Use Lollipop instead.
  • Ranges with no target. Use Dot strip instead.
  • The spread of raw values. Use Box plot instead.

Interval questions

Installing, data, Figma and plans.

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