Example

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

shell
npm install @silverpoint/react @silverpoint/grounds @silverpoint/fonts
tsx
import '@silverpoint/fonts/fonts.css';
import '@silverpoint/grounds/styles.css';
import { ScatterChart } from '@silverpoint/react/scatter-chart';

const data = [
  { x: 152, y: 51, size: 2 },
  { x: 158, y: 56, size: 4 },
  { x: 161, y: 54, size: 3 },
  { x: 165, y: 62, size: 6 },
  { x: 168, y: 60, size: 5 },
  { x: 171, y: 68, size: 8 },
  { x: 175, y: 71, size: 7 },
  { x: 178, y: 69, size: 9 },
  { x: 182, y: 77, size: 10 },
];

export default function App() {
  return (
    <div style={{ width: 480 }}>
      <ScatterChart
        data={data}
        xKey="x"

    </div>
  );
}

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

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 } }.
