Use it
Pass your rows. The props are the Figma properties.

Props
<IncidentTape>
Every prop but data is a Figma property with the same name and values.
IncidentTapeData

IncidentTapeEvent
One object per entry in events.
The data as a JSON Schema: schemas/incident-tape.json
Incident tape chart: a React and Figma chart in four sizes
What does an incident tape chart show?
An incident tape chart lays the steps of an incident along the measure that triggered it: rising, over the limit, alert, paged, acknowledged, fix proposed. Gaps between steps show where time was lost. Use it for incident reviews and on-call reports.
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 Incident tape component?
It is one <IncidentTape> component. Its props are the Figma properties with the same names and values, and the props table above lists them. The data is a measure over time and dated steps.
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 it one incident? Yes means the incident tape fits.
- Do the steps matter? Yes means the incident tape fits.
- Is it minutes, not days? Yes means the incident tape fits.
When does another type fit better?
- Many incidents over a month. Use Burn-down instead.
- Only the measure against target. Use Target trend instead.
- A schedule over days. Use Gantt instead.
Incident tape questions
Installing, data, Figma and plans.
Yes. It installs through the shadcn registry with the shadcn CLI, and the file lands in your project.
Add your token and the @chartory registry once, then run npx shadcn add @chartory/incident-tape. The Installation guide has the steps.
Yes. Connect the Chartory MCP server and ask for the incident tape chart; the agent runs the same command and you review the diff.
A measure over time and dated steps. 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/110-incident-tape 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.
Code and Complete. Figma has the Figma file only.
