Drift arrows: a React and Figma chart in four sizes

What does a drift arrows show?

Drift arrows draw each part of a portfolio or mix from where it is now toward its target, so overweight and underweight parts show by direction and length. Very small drifts get no arrow. Use it for portfolio rebalancing, budget allocation and channel mix.

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 Drift arrows component?

It is one <DriftArrows> component. Its props are the Figma properties with the same names and values, and the props table above lists them. The data is a target and a current share per part.

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 a target per part? Yes means the drift arrows fit.
  • Is the drift the point? Yes means the drift arrows fit.
  • Is it shares of a whole? Yes means the drift arrows fit.

When does another type fit better?

  • Shares with no target. Use Donut instead.
  • Two values compared. Use Dumbbell instead.
  • Values against a goal. Use Bullet instead.

Drift arrows questions

Installing, data, Figma and plans.

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