# Network

> One hub and what it connects to. Sample data: one agent on Atlas 3 and its six tools, search 12.4K calls (32%), files 2.7K (7%).

- Type 039 · Relationship
- Component: `<Network>`, the same name as the Figma component
- Install: `npx shadcn add @chartory/network` (free in Hearth: the public registry, no token; Signal with Code and Complete)
- Type page: https://usechartory.com/charts/network

## Installation

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](https://usechartory.com/docs/installation)

2. **Add the chart.** One command adds the Network component to your project.

```bash
npx shadcn add @chartory/network
```

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

usage.tsx:

```tsx
import { Network }
  from "@/components/chartory/network"

<Network
  data={agentTools}
  size="m"
/>
```

## Props

### `<Network>`

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

| Prop | Type | Default | Note |

| data | NetworkData | Required | The chart's data. The tables below list every field. |
| size | "xs" \| "s" \| "m" \| "l" | "m" | The size class. Each one is laid out again from the data. |
| color | "cat-1" \| "cat-2" \| "cat-3" \| "cat-4" | "cat-1" | The data colour of the primary marks (data/primary). |

### NetworkData

The data prop: one object for the whole chart.

| Prop | Type | Default | Note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| hub | string | Required | The hub's label. |
| hubSub | string | Required | The line under the hub's label. |
| nodes | NetworkNode[] | Required | One entry per node. |

### NetworkNode

One object per entry in nodes.

| Prop | Type | Default | Note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| label | string | Required | The name shown on the chart. |

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

### What does a network chart show?

A network chart draws items as nodes and their links as lines, here one hub with the things it calls. Line weight and labels show how much each link carries. Use it for an agent and its tools, a service and its dependencies or an account and its contacts.

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 Network component?

It is one **<Network>** component. Its props are the Figma properties with the same names and values, and the props table above lists them. The data is a hub and its nodes, each with a value.

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 hub?** Yes means the network fits.
- **Do links have no direction of flow?** Yes means the network fits.
- **Is health not the point?** Yes means the network fits.

### When does another type fit better?

- **Flows between many groups.** Use Chord instead.
- **Amounts flowing between steps.** Use Sankey instead.
- **Healthy and failing links.** Use Dependency map instead.

## Network questions

### Does the Network 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/network. The Installation guide has the steps.

### Can my coding agent install it?

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

### What data does it expect?

A hub and its nodes, each with a value. 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/039-network 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.
