# Orbit

> Tiers around a centre, with how active each is. Sample data: active wallets in four tiers, whales 42 (92% active), small 10.2K (64% active).

- Type 041 · Relationship
- Component: `<Orbit>`, the same name as the Figma component
- Install: `npx shadcn add @chartory/orbit` (free in Hearth: the public registry, no token; Signal with Code and Complete)
- Type page: https://usechartory.com/charts/orbit

## 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 Orbit component to your project.

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

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

usage.tsx:

```tsx
import { Orbit }
  from "@/components/chartory/orbit"

<Orbit
  data={walletTiers}
  size="m"
/>
```

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

### What does an orbit chart show?

An orbit chart places groups on rings around a centre, from the biggest holders inside to the many small ones outside, with each tier's size and share active. Use it for wallets by tier, customers by plan or users by engagement.

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 Orbit component?

It is one **<Orbit>** component. Its props are the Figma properties with the same names and values, and the props table above lists them. The data is tiers with a count and a rate.

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?

- **Are the tiers ordered?** Yes means the orbit fits.
- **Is a rate per tier part of it?** Yes means the orbit fits.
- **Is it tiers, not concentration?** Yes means the orbit fits.

### When does another type fit better?

- **Unordered groups.** Use Donut instead.
- **Counts only.** Use Horizontal bars instead.
- **How evenly a total is shared.** Use Lorenz curve instead.

## Orbit questions

### Does the Orbit 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/orbit. The Installation guide has the steps.

### Can my coding agent install it?

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

### What data does it expect?

Tiers with a count and a rate. 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/041-orbit 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.
