Usage and data

#

Use for long category names or ranked lists.

Keep units consistent and choose the order deliberately. Differences are read through length regardless of orientation.

Data contract

PropertyInput format
seriesThe values array for each comparison group.
valuesValues for a single list.
xAxisA linear axis defining the value range.
yAxisUse categories for the horizontal bars' category names.

Updating data

Assign a new array or object to the property instead of mutating values inside an array. Chart events provide selection results through event.detail. When disposing of the view, clean up ResizeObserver and event listeners registered by your app.

Add to your interface

#

The code tabs below the preview contain the full data, options, event bindings, and responsive sizing for the current example. Copy them into an app project, such as Vite, that can resolve the installed packages.
