About

Reach for it to rank a handful of categories in a square card: five browsers fit in 250 pixels where a bar chart needs a wide row. Arc length is harder to compare than bar length, so keep to a few rings and use a horizontal bar chart when the gaps matter. For shares of one whole, a pie or donut says so plainly.

Each browser gets a ring, Chrome innermost and Other outermost. Every ring starts at three o'clock and runs counterclockwise as far as its count, over a muted track that marks the full circle.

Usage

import { ChartRadialSimple } from "@/components/charts/chart-radial-simple";
<ChartRadialSimple />

Customize

  • The rows are { browser, visitors, fill }. Inside polar(), radialBarAngle maps radius to browser on a band scale and angle to visitors on a linear one.
  • The radius band's range, [30, 110] pixels, sets the inner and outer edge of the stack of rings; paddingInner(0.2) leaves the gaps.
  • The angle domain is [0, maxVisitors], 0 to 275. A first radialBarAngle draws every row to 275 in var(--muted): the tracks, which read the pointer under the decorative() rings.
  • polar() takes startAngle and endAngle in radians, zero at twelve o'clock and clockwise. Here they're set to start at three o'clock and go counterclockwise, as shadcn/ui's version does.
  • ChartContainer carries mx-auto aspect-square max-h-[250px] in its class, so the rings stay round and centered.

FAQ

What's the gray ring behind each bar?

A track: an extra radialBarAngle in its own polar() layer under the colored one, drawing every browser to maxVisitors, the angle scale's maximum, in var(--muted). The tracks read the pointer; the colored rings are decorative(). For bare rings, as the Radial Chart with Grid has, remove the track layer and unwrap the rings from decorative().

What value closes the circle?

The largest value. The angle scale's domain is [0, maxVisitors], so Chrome's 275 makes a full turn, as in Recharts. Set the domain to a target, or to [0, 100] for percentages, and draw the tracks' angle2 at the same value.

Which ring is which?

Rows go from the inside out in data order: Chrome is the innermost ring, Other the outermost. Sort chartData to change the order. Outer rings are longer for the same value, so putting the largest outside exaggerates it; inside keeps it honest.

How do I color the rings?

Each ring is painted with its browser's variable, var(--color-chrome) to var(--color-other), and chartConfig maps those keys to --chart-1 through --chart-5. Change one config color to recolor that browser. The visitors entry has no color: it only labels the value.

Why does the tooltip show the browser and no title?

There's no category axis to title the tooltip, so it hides its label and names the row by its browser: ChartContainer's tooltip prop passes hideLabel and nameKey: "browser" to ChartTooltipContent, and valueKey: "visitors" reads the count, since a point in polar() carries an angle, not a value.

How do I make it bigger?

The ring radii are pixels, 30 to 110, so the chart is drawn for a 250-pixel square and max-h-[250px] on ChartContainer caps it. For a bigger card, give the radius scale's range functions of the layout's radius, such as ({ radius }) => radius * 0.25, and raise the cap.

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>

PropType
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"

The indicator's shape beside each row.

Type
"dot" | "line" | "dashed"
Default
"dot"
hideLabel?boolean

Hides the label above the rows (the focused category).

Default
false
hideIndicator?boolean

Hides each row's color indicator.

Default
false
label?string

The label's text in place of the focused category, looked up in config.

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.

valueKey?string

The datum field each row's value is read from, for points that carry geometry rather than values (a pie's, from pie()).

color?string

One indicator color for every row, in place of each series' own.

labelFormatter?(label: string, points: readonly ChartPoint[]) => string

Formats the label (the config's label or the category), with the rows' points: a date written out, a unit.

class?string

Classes for the tooltip's card.

ChartLegend

<div>

PropType
config?ChartConfig

hideIcon?boolean

Hides each series' icon (from config), leaving its color swatch.

Default
false
verticalAlign?"top" | "bottom"

Above the chart or under it.

Type

ChartConfig

KeyType
label?string

Helpers

ExportType
chartTooltip?(settings?: ChartTooltipSettings) => ChartDefinitionOptions
