Example

The chart above, in each framework. Pick a framework once and every example on the site follows it.

Import

Each chart has its own subpath, so a bundle only carries the charts it uses. Every adapter also exports every chart from its barrel.

Props

The props ContourChart adds to the ones every chart takes. Accessor props (…Key, keys, names) name fields of your rows and are ignored without data.

React / AngularVueReflexTypeDescription
sourcesourcesource'points' | 'grid'points estimates a density from a point cloud; grid reads a regular grid of values.
xKeyx-keyx_keyAccessor<number | null | undefined>—
yKeyy-keyy_keyAccessor<number | null | undefined>—
valueKeyvalue-keyvalue_keyAccessor<number | null | undefined>The grid value (source: 'grid').
levelslevelslevelsnumber | readonly number[]A count of levels, or the thresholds, increasing: in the grid's values, or as shares of the density's peak.
filledfilledfilledbooleanFills the bands between levels; true by default.

Common props

Every chart also takes these. Framework conventions: camelCase in React and Angular, kebab-case in Vue templates, snake_case in Reflex. Read more about them.

Events

Pointer and keyboard exploration are built in. The item under the pointer or focus is reported, and a click, Enter or Space selects it. The item is { seriesKey, index, datum, value, point: { x, y } }.
