Many items across many measures. Sample data: five models on accuracy, speed, cost, safety and context.

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.

Add the chart
One command adds the Parallel coordinates component to your project.
npx shadcn add @chartory/parallel-coordinates - 3
Use it
Pass your rows. The props are the Figma properties.
usage.tsximport { ParallelCoordinates } from "@/components/chartory/parallel-coordinates"<ParallelCoordinates data={modelEvals} size="m" legend/>
Props
<ParallelCoordinates>
Every prop but data is a Figma property with the same name and values.
ParallelCoordinatesData
The data prop: one object for the whole chart.
ParallelCoordinatesRow
One object per entry in rows.
The data as a JSON Schema: schemas/parallel-coordinates.json
Parallel coordinates: a React and Figma chart in four sizes
What does a parallel coordinates show?
A parallel coordinates chart draws one vertical axis per measure and a line per item across them, so trade-offs show as crossing lines. Use it to compare models, products or vendors on five or more measures at once.
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 Parallel coordinates component?
It is one <ParallelCoordinates> component. Its props are the Figma properties with the same names and values, and the props table above lists them. The data is several measures 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?
- Are there many measures? Yes means the parallel coordinates fit.
- Are there several items? Yes means the parallel coordinates fit.
- Are there more than three measures? Yes means the parallel coordinates fit.
When does another type fit better?
- Two measures per item. Use Scatter instead.
- Two items by shape. Use Radar instead.
- Exactly three that sum up. Use Ternary instead.
Parallel coordinates questions
Installing, data, Figma and plans.
Yes. It installs through the shadcn registry with the shadcn CLI, and the file lands in your project.
It is free in Hearth and MIT licensed: add the @chartory registry URL once, no token, then run npx shadcn add @chartory/parallel-coordinates. The Installation guide has the steps.
Yes. Connect the Chartory MCP server and ask for the parallel coordinates chart; the agent runs the same command and you review the diff.
Several measures per item. 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/049-parallel-model-evals 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.
None for Hearth: it is free in the public registry, no token. The Signal collection (@chartory/signal) comes with Code and Complete.
