Gradient Area Chart

Q: How is the fade made?

With the definition's gradients option: each entry has an id, a direction (x1, y1, x2, y2) and stops, each with an offset, a color and an opacity. A mark uses one by setting its fill to url(# ).

Q: How do I fade all the way to transparent?

Set the lower stop's opacity to 0. The areaY also has fillOpacity: 0.4, which multiplies with both stops; remove it to use their full range.

Q: Do two gradient charts on one page clash?

No. Each adapter gives its chart an id prefix and rewrites url(#…) fills to the scoped gradient ids, so the same ids can appear in several charts on a page.

Q: Can the gradient run left to right?

Yes. Set x1: 0, y1: 0, x2: 1, y2: 0 on the gradient. Coordinates run from 0 to 1 across each band. A sideways fade reads as a change over time, though, so use it with care.

Q: Does the gradient follow dark mode?

Yes. The stops use var(--color-desktop) and var(--color-mobile), which come from --chart-1 and --chart-2. When the theme switches, the gradients switch with it.

Two stacked areas filled with vertical gradients that fade toward the baseline, keeping the edges strong and the plot light. For Solid.

About

Pick it for a dashboard's headline chart, where a flat tint feels heavy but the series should still read as shapes. It's the stacked area with a different paint: the data and the reading are the same. At small sizes or over dense grid lines, a flat fill stays clearer.

Each band fades from strong near its top to faint near the bottom, in its own color, under a solid edge. Mobile stacks under desktop, and the tooltip lists both with dots.

Usage

import { ChartAreaGradient } from "@/components/charts/chart-area-gradient";

<ChartAreaGradient />

Customize

The definition's gradients holds one vertical linear gradient per series, fill-desktop and fill-mobile, from 0.8 opacity at 5% to 0.1 at 95%.
areaY's fill returns url(#fill-<series>) for each band; the edge is a decorative lineY in the flat series color, so it stays solid.
The stop colors are var(--color-desktop) and var(--color-mobile), so the gradients follow chartConfig and the theme.
Each row also carries fill: var(--color-<series>), which the tooltip's dot reads, so the dot shows the flat color rather than the gradient.
Gradient ids are scoped per chart by the adapter, so short ids like fill-desktop are safe to reuse.

tooltip?ChartTooltipContentProps | false

ChartTooltipContent's props (indicator, hideLabel, formatter…) for the default body, or false for TanStack's own tooltip body.

Type: ChartTooltipContentProps | false

renderTooltip?(context: ChartTooltipBodyRenderContext) => JSX.Element

A whole tooltip body of your own, in place of ChartTooltipContent: it gets the focused points (each with its datum, group and color). Read the context's fields in JSX (context.points), so Solid tracks them.

Type: (context: ChartTooltipBodyRenderContext) => JSX.Element

defaultIndex?number

The category whose tooltip shows before any pointer, as Recharts' defaultIndex.

height?number

A fixed height in pixels for the chart, in place of the container's.

aspectRatio?number

A width-to-height ratio for the chart, in place of the container's height.

initialWidth?number

The width the chart renders at before it's measured.

onFocusChange?(point: ChartPoint | null) => void

Called as the focused point changes: a pointer, a key or a tap.

Type: (point: ChartPoint | null) => void

onFocusGroupChange?(points: readonly ChartPoint[]) => void

Called with every point at the focused category (a stacked or grouped chart's).

Type: (points: readonly ChartPoint[]) => void

onSelect?(point: ChartPoint | null) => void

Called when a point is clicked or picked with Enter.

Type: (point: ChartPoint | null) => void

CSS variableType

--color-<key>?color

Each config key's color (its theme color in light and dark), set on the container: the marks paint with var(--color-<key>).

ChartTooltipContent

<div>

pointsreadonly ChartPoint[]

The focused points, from the tooltip's context. ChartContainer passes them to its default body; a body of your own passes its context's.

indicator?"dot" | "line" | "dashed"

labelKey?string

The datum field (or config key) the label is read from, looked up in config.

nameKey?string

The datum field (or config key) each row's series is read from: a pie's browser.

Default: false

verticalAlign?"top" | "bottom"

Above the chart or under it.

Type: "top" | "bottom"
