Vertical profile

A value read down a scale, like a depth profile. Sample data: recall of Atlas 3 and Kite 2 Pro from 4K to 128K context, on a 60% to 100% scale.

Installation

    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
  2. 2

    Add the chart

    One command adds the Vertical profile component to your project.

    npx shadcn add @chartory/vertical-profile
  3. 3

    Use it

    Pass your rows. The props are the Figma properties.

    usage.tsx
    import { VerticalProfile }  from "@/components/chartory/vertical-profile"<VerticalProfile  data={recallByContext}  size="m"  legend/>

Props

<VerticalProfile>

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.VerticalProfileDataRequired
size: The size class. Each one is laid out again from the data."xs" | "s" | "m" | "l""m"
legend: Shows the legend row under the plot.booleantrue
color: The data colour of the primary marks (data/primary)."cat-1" | "cat-2" | "cat-3" | "cat-4""cat-1"

VerticalProfileData

The data prop: one object for the whole chart.

PropTypeDefault

VerticalProfileSeries

One object per entry in series.

Vertical profile chart: a React and Figma chart in four sizes

What does a vertical profile chart show?

A vertical profile chart plots a value against a scale that runs up the side, such as context length, altitude or depth, so you see where performance holds and where it falls off. Use it for model recall by context length or any measure read at levels.

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 Vertical profile component?

It is one <VerticalProfile> component. Its props are the Figma properties with the same names and values, and the props table above lists them. The data is a value per level, one or two series.

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 the scale levels, not time? Yes means the vertical profile fits.
  • Are there one or two series? Yes means the vertical profile fits.
  • Is it a profile, not a spread? Yes means the vertical profile fits.

When does another type fit better?

  • Values over time. Use Multi-line chart instead.
  • Many models across measures. Use Parallel coordinates instead.
  • A spread of values. Use Ridgeline instead.

Vertical profile questions

Installing, data, Figma and plans.

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