    Installation guide
  2. 2

    Add the chart

    One command adds the Streamgraph component to your project.

    npx shadcn add @chartory/streamgraph
  3. 3

    Use it

    Pass your rows. The props are the Figma properties.

    usage.tsx
    import { Streamgraph }  from "@/components/chartory/streamgraph"<Streamgraph  data={shipmentsByMode}  size="m"/>

Props

<Streamgraph>

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

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

StreamgraphData

The data prop: one object for the whole chart.

PropTypeDefault
now: Where now is on the axis.numberRequired
nowLabel: The label at now.stringRequired

Streamgraph: a React and Figma chart in four sizes

What does a streamgraph show?

A streamgraph stacks several series around a centre line, so the total and each part's share flow as one shape. Thick and thin stretches show when each part grows or fades. Use it for a mix over a season, such as shipment modes or traffic sources.

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 Streamgraph component?

It is one <Streamgraph> component. Its props are the Figma properties with the same names and values, and the props table above lists them. The data is three to six parts, one value per period.

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?

  • Do the parts add up to a whole? Yes means the streamgraph fits.
  • Is the shape more important than exact values? Yes means the streamgraph fits.
  • Are there many periods? Yes means the streamgraph fits.

When does another type fit better?

  • Each series is its own level. Use Overlapping areas instead.
  • Exact values per period matter. Use Stacked bars instead.
  • One period, one split. Use Donut instead.

Streamgraph questions

Installing, data, Figma and plans.

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