Tachograph: a React and Figma chart in four sizes

What does a tachograph show?

A tachograph draws each driver's day as a ring on one 24-hour disc, split into driving, other work, rest and availability, with total driving time. Rest breaks and long stints show at once. Use it for driver hours and compliance.

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 Tachograph component?

It is one <Tachograph> component. Its props are the Figma properties with the same names and values, and the props table above lists them. The data is activity spans per driver over 24 hours.

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 activity types over a day? Yes means the tachograph fits.
  • Is it per person? Yes means the tachograph fits.
  • Are there four activity types? Yes means the tachograph fits.

When does another type fit better?

  • Jobs per lane. Use Gantt instead.
  • Shifts across a week. Use Rota lanes instead.
  • Two states. Use Event barcode instead.

Tachograph questions

Installing, data, Figma and plans.

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