Chart Types

Blueprint Chart ships 13 chart types organized into four families: bar, line, area, and part-to-whole.

Bar family

• bar-vertical — single-series vertical bars; ranked categorical comparison
• bar-horizontal — single-series horizontal bars; long labels
• bar-multi — multi-series side-by-side bars
• bar-grouped — grouped clusters across a second dimension
• bar-split — diverging values around a shared baseline
• bar-stacked — stacked horizontal bars; composition emphasising the total
• column-stacked — stacked vertical columns; supports percent stacking

Line family

• line — single-series trend over an ordered domain
• line-multi — multi-series time-series comparison

Area family

• area — single-series magnitude over time
• area-stacked — composition over time; supports percent stacking

Part-to-whole

• pie — circular part-to-whole, very small N
• donut — circular part-to-whole with a central label slot
