# Welcome to Chart plugin Quick overview of Chart plugin and its features. Chart Plugin helps designers (and many others) build clean, on-brand charts without leaving their canvas (Figma, Sketch). This guide is written for visual designers who may not be data viz experts but need to craft charts quickly—and keep them consistent with their company’s style. {% embed url="" %} ### What you can do here * Generate polished charts from sample data in a couple of clicks. * Connect live Google Sheets or upload CSV/JSON data. * Apply saved style templates to enforce brand consistency. * Tweak chart settings before you insert the final result into Figma/Sketch. Start exploring Chart's features by [creating your first chart](/how-to-create-your-first-chart). If you work with real data see how Chart could help you with Google Sheet or CSV integrations and API or JSON data. Working on your design system and want to create charting library? Go and see [how Chart could help you with this](/manage-charts-style/using-a-template).

They’re ideal for showing how a metric changes across evenly spaced intervals. ### When to use it * Tracking performance over weeks, months, or releases. * Comparing a handful (≤4) of series without overwhelming the viewer. * Highlighting growth/decline patterns or seasonality. Avoid line charts when categories are non-sequential or when you have dozens of series—switch to a heatmap or bar chart instead. ### Data requirements * At least one numeric series. * Categories in sequential order (e.g., time, ordered stages). * Supports multiple series; each series shares the same categories. ### Style options available | Group | Control | Input type | Options | Description |

Ping us via . # Create Area chart Everything you need to know to create the chart you want. ### Overview Area charts fill the space beneath a line to emphasise volume or magnitude over time. They retain the trend clarity of line charts while conveying accumulated value. ### When to use it * Showing total volume where the area under the curve matters (e.g., hours logged, revenue). * Comparing up to three series with clear differences. * Highlighting change intensity rather than precise values. Avoid area charts when series overlap heavily—stacked area charts or line charts may read better. ### Data requirements * Sequential categories (time, ordered stages). * One or more numeric series. * All series share the same category axis. ### Style options available | Group | Control | Input type | Options | Description | | ---------------------- | ----------------------- | ---------- |

multiple area series to avoid visual clutter. ### Have problems or want to improve this chart type? Ping us via . # Create Stacked Area chart Everything you need to know to create the chart you want. ### Overview Stacked area charts layer multiple area series on top of each other, revealing both the total trend and each series’ contribution. They’re great for composition over time. ### When to use it * Displaying how parts add up to a whole (e.g., revenue by product line). * Tracking proportional changes while keeping an eye on totals. * Highlighting dominant contributors and shifts in share. Avoid stacked areas if categories are unordered or if negative values are common; the visual hierarchy can become confusing. ### Data requirements * Sequential categories shared across all series. * Numeric series that combine into a cumulative total. * Preferably positive values to maintain readable stacking. ### Style options available | Group | Control | Input type | Options | Description | |

Ping us via . # Create Stream graph Everything you need to know to create the chart you want. ### Overview Streamgraphs are stacked area charts with a flowing, central baseline. They highlight fluctuations in contributions over time while keeping the visual organic and balanced around the centre. ### When to use it * Storytelling dashboards where visual impact matters (music genres over time, content categories). * Comparing relative share without needing exact totals. * Showing smooth, continuous change with many categories. Avoid streamgraphs when precise values are required or when your audience needs to compare small differences. ### Data requirements * Sequential categories (usually time). * Multiple numeric series (ideally positive). * Best with smoothed data to avoid jittery shapes. ### Style options available | Group | Control | Input type | Options | Description | | ---------------------- |

Ping us via . # Create Vertical Bar chart Everything you need to know to create the chart you want. ### Overview Column charts (vertical bars) compare discrete categories side by side. They’re excellent for highlighting differences in magnitude across a small to medium set of items. Use more than one series of data to get stacked version of Vertical bar chart. ### When to use it * Comparing values across categories (e.g., revenue by region). * Showing change over time with a small number of periods. * Emphasising absolute differences rather than proportions. Avoid column charts for very long category lists—consider a horizontal bar chart instead. ### Data requirements * One or more numeric series. * Categories can be nominal (unordered) or ordinal. * Series share the same categories; each category appears once per series. ### Style options available | Group | Control | Input type | Options | Description | | ---------------------- |

Ping us via . # Create Horizontal Bar chart Everything you need to know to create the chart you want. ### Overview Bar charts flip columns horizontally, making them perfect for ranked comparisons or long category labels. They emphasise relative length, aiding quick scanning. Use more than one series of data to get stacked version of Horizontal bar chart. ### When to use it * Ranking items (top customers, feature usage). * Displaying categories with long text labels. * Comparing up to 10–12 categories without overwhelming the viewer. Avoid bar charts when you need to show time-based trends—choose line or column charts instead. ### Data requirements * One or more numeric series. * Categories can be categorical or ordered. * Works best when sorted (ascending or descending) for readability. ### Style options available | Group | Control | Input type | Options | Description | | ---------------------- | ---------------------------

### Have problems or want to improve this chart type? Ping us via . # Create Grouped Horizontal Bar chart Everything you need to know to create the chart you want. ### Overview Grouped Horizontal bar charts display horizontal clusters of bars so you can compare sub-groups across categories. They’re especially handy when category labels are long. ### When to use it * Comparing metrics across categories where labels require extra space. * Analysing survey responses split by demographics. * Highlighting differences between current vs. target values. Avoid grouped bars if you have many series—the chart widens quickly and becomes hard to scan. ### Data requirements * Ordered or unordered categories on the y-axis. * Multiple numeric series per category. * Data should be sorted for readability (optional but recommended). ### Style options available | Group | Control | Input type | Options | Description | | ---------------------- |

improve this chart type? Ping us via . # Create Pie chart Everything you need to know to create the chart you want. ### Overview Pie charts display parts of a whole as slices around a circle. They’re best for showing simple composition where there are few categories and a clear story. ### When to use it * Illustrating percentage breakdowns with ≤5 slices. * Highlighting a dominant slice versus the rest. * Presenting categorical distribution in executive summaries. Avoid pie charts for detailed comparisons, many categories, or values that don’t sum to a meaningful whole.

Ping us via . # Create Sparkline Everything you need to know to create the chart you want. ### Overview Sparklines are tiny line charts without axes or labels. They provide a quick glance at trend direction inside tables or KPI cards. ### When to use it * Embedding trend hints inside dashboards or status cards. * Comparing multiple metrics in compact layouts. * Highlighting the shape of change rather than exact numbers. Avoid sparklines when precise values or annotations are required; use full line charts instead. ### Data requirements * Sequential data (time or ordered stages). * One series per sparkline; keep point counts reasonable (8–20). * Provide context elsewhere (title, KPI text) since sparklines are minimalist. ### Style options available | Group | Control | Input type | Options | Description | | ---------------------- | ------------- | ---------- | ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Colors | Color palette | palette | — | Palette applied to series; sets the default colours for the chart. | | General → Sparkline | Type | select | line, spline | Selects the exact chart variant rendered for this series (line or spline). | | General → Sparkline | Line width | number | — | Thickness of the line or outline in pixels. | | General → Sparkline | Radius of dot | number | — | Radius of markers drawn on the line chart in pixels. | | Title → Chart title | Font name | text | — | Font family used for titles, labels, or legend text. | | Title → Chart title | Font style | text | — | Font weight or style (e.g., bold, italic). | | Title → Chart title | Font size | number | — | Font size in pixels for the selected text element. | | Title → Chart title | Font color | color | — | Colour of the text shown for this element. | | Title → Chart title | Margin bottom | number | — | Extra space below chart titles or subtitles in pixels. | | Title → Chart subtitle | Font name | text | — | Font family used for titles, labels, or legend text. | | Title → Chart subtitle | Font style | text | — | Font weight or style (e.g., bold, italic). | | Title → Chart subtitle | Font size | number | — | Font size in pixels for the selected text element. | | Title → Chart subtitle | Font color | color | — | Colour of the text shown for this element. | > ✨ **Tip:** Pair a sparkline with a headline metric and delta (“+4.2% vs last month”) for immediate insight. ### Have problems or want to improve this chart type? Ping us via . # Create Candlestick chart Everything you need to know to create the chart you want. ### Overview Candlestick charts track financial instruments by showing open, high, low, and close prices for each period. They highlight volatility and directional trends in a compact form. ### When to use it * Displaying stock, crypto, or commodity price movements. * Analysing volatility and identifying bullish/bearish patterns. * Combining with volume or moving averages for richer analysis. Avoid candlesticks for audiences unfamiliar with financial charting or when you lack OHLC data—use line charts instead. ### Data requirements * Each category (e.g., day) must include `open`, `high`, `low`, and `close` values. * Categories should be sequential (time-based). ### Style options available | Group | Control | Input type | Options | Description | | ---------------------- |

problems or want to improve this chart type? Ping us via . # Create Waterfall chart Everything you need to know to create the chart you want. ### Overview Waterfall charts break down how an initial value increases or decreases through a sequence of contributions, leading to a final result. They’re perfect for explaining “what changed” over time or between scenarios. ### When to use it * Reconciling financial statements (starting cash → adjustments → ending cash). * Showing impact of drivers on a KPI (churn, upsell, expansion). * Explaining project timelines (baseline → scope changes → final date). Avoid waterfall charts if the order of contributions doesn’t matter or if you lack a clear starting and ending point. ### Data requirements * Ordered categories representing each step. * Positive values increase the total; negative values decrease it. ### Style options available | Group | Control | Input type | Options | Description | | ---------------------- | ----------------------- |

Ping us via . # Create Multitype chart Everything you need to know to create the chart you want. ### Overview Multitype charts combine different series types (e.g., columns and lines) in one visual. They help compare metrics with different units or storytelling roles within a single frame. ### When to use it * Pairing a primary measure (columns) with a trend or target line. * Showing actual vs. cumulative metrics (e.g., revenue bars with running total line). * Combining bars with scatter points to highlight outliers. Avoid multi-type charts if you can tell the story with a single chart type—simplicity wins when the message is straightforward. ### Data requirements * Shared categories across all series. ### Style

Ping us via . # Critical errors & fixes When something blocks the plugin from working, you’ll see a red banner at the top of the UI with a clear message. Use this reference to resolve issues quickly. | Banner message | What it means | How to fix it | | --------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **“License check is unavailable.”** | The plugin couldn’t reach the license server. | Check your internet connection, then click **Activate/Manage** in the Status Bar to retry. If the issue persists, contact support with the timestamp. | | **“Templates service unavailable.”** | Template storage couldn’t be loaded. | Charts still work, but templates won’t sync. Re-enter your license email or try again later. | | **“Failed to load data from Google Sheets.”** | Permission, timeout, or structural issue with the sheet. | Confirm you have access, verify headers, and refetch. | | **“Request parameters must be valid JSON.”** | JSON body or headers are malformed. | Validate your JSON in an external tool and paste it again. | | **“Preview is not ready yet.”** | The plugin couldn’t find SVG contents during insert/update. | Wait for the preview to render (enable Show preview) before pressing Insert/Update. | ### General recovery steps 1. Refresh the plugin UI (close and reopen) if the state seems stuck. 2. For data issues, switch sources temporarily to Random to confirm the rest of the pipeline works. 3. Collect logs: open Figma Console and set `window.__CHART_LOG_LEVEL = "debug"` before reproducing the problem. # FAQ Answers to common questions designers ask while working with Chart plugin. ### Can I reuse a chart in multiple files? Yes. Insert the chart, then copy and paste it into other Figma files. The embedded metadata travels with the frame, so you can still run **Update Chart** later. ### How do I share templates with teammates? As long as everyone uses the same license email (only for TEAM accounts), templates sync to the cloud. Remind teammates to reopen plugin after new templates are saved. ### Why doesn’t my chart match the brand colours? Apply or update a template. If you have multiple brand modes, create separate templates (`Brand Light`, `Brand Dark`) and document when to use each. ### Can I export charts as PNG or SVG files? Yes. After inserting the chart into Figma, use Figma’s export panel to export as PNG/SVG/PDF. The plugin itself inserts vector layers ready for export. ### Does the plugin support dark mode charts? Absolutely. Create a template with dark backgrounds and light text. Save it as `Dark Mode` and apply it whenever you design dark-themed screens. ### How do I update data without losing styling? Use **Update Chart** from the relaunch menu. This keeps styles, templates, and metadata intact while refreshing the data source. ### Is there a way to lock chart edits? Once the chart is inserted, you can lock the Figma frame to prevent accidental edits. For template protection, restrict who has access to manage templates in the plugin. # Release notes Welcome to the **Chart Plugin Release notes** page — your hub for all updates, improvements, and new features.

It keeps a 100 × 50 grid in sync with the chart preview. ### When to use it * You have fewer than \~100 rows and want to tweak numbers on the fly. * You’re exploring scenarios without access to the original spreadsheet. * You need to adjust imported data after the fact without switching sources. ### Key UI areas 1. **Header row** — first row contains column names. The first column is treated as categories; subsequent columns become series. 2. **Grid body** — double-click to edit a cell, press `Enter` or `Tab` to move around quickly. ### Workflow 1. Select **Table → Manual** from the Data tab. 2. Paste data from your spreadsheet (cmd/ctrl + V) or type values manually. 3. Optionally rename the first row to control legend labels. ### Troubleshooting | Problem | What to check | | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Numbers disappear after paste | Ensure the source uses plain text or numbers; merged cells can break the grid. | | Chart skips some rows | Verify the first column has values—empty labels are excluded. | | Performance slows down | Reduce rows/columns or switch to CSV/Google Sheets for larger datasets. | # Google Sheets Bring live spreadsheet data into your chart. The plugin fetches the sheet, maps headers to categories and series, and keeps your configuration ready for refreshes. ### Data prep checklist * First row should contain headers (e.g. `Month`, `Revenue`, `Cost`). * No merged cells or formulas that return text when numbers are expected. * If the sheet is private, confirm your browser session has access. ### Import steps 1. **Switch to Table → Google** in the Data tab. 2. Paste the **full Google Sheet URL**. 3. Specify the **Worksheet name** if it’s not the first tab. 4. Select the columns you want to use. The plugin automatically treats the first as categories. ### Common errors | Error banner | Meaning | Fix | | ----------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | | “Failed to load data from Google Sheets.” | Network, permission, or rate-limit issue. | Check access rights, try again, or duplicate the sheet to reduce load. | | Preview shows wrong numbers | Column order changed since last fetch. | Reopen the column picker and reselect the intended fields. | ### Tips for designers * Use a dedicated worksheet for chart data; keep formatting and calculations separate. * If a stakeholder updates the sheet, remind them not to move the header row or delete columns in use. # CSV CSV files are perfect when stakeholders export data from BI tools or spreadsheets. The plugin maps CSV columns to categories and series similarly to Google Sheets but without requiring live access. ### Preparing your CSV * Use UTF-8 encoding whenever possible. * Keep the header row (first line) for column names. * Separate values with commas or semicolons; the plugin auto-detects both. * Remove blank lines at the bottom to avoid empty categories. ### Import steps 1. Switch to **Table → CSV** in the Data tab. 2. Upload the CSV file. 3. Select which columns to import. First column = categories, others = series. ### Troubleshooting | Issue | Diagnosis | Fix | | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | | Column headers missing | File lacks first-row names. | Add a header row and re-export. | | Numbers parse as text | Check decimal separator; select `.` or `,` accordingly. | Adjust delimiter/decimal settings before import. | | Chart shows extra blank category | Trailing newline in CSV. | Trim the file and re-upload. | ### Tips * Store CSV snapshots in your project folder for version control. * Combine manual tweaks with the Manual Table Editor after import if you need to adjust a few values by hand. # JSON API or File Connect to product analytics or dashboard endpoints that expose JSON. The plugin uses a proxy to make requests, map nested arrays, and convert them into chart-ready series. ### When to use it * You have an HTTP endpoint returning JSON data. * You need to authenticate with a bearer token or custom headers. * Your data lives in nested arrays and you want to pick which keys become categories and series. ### Request setup 1. Switch to **Data Source → JSON** and choose the `API` mode. 2. Enter the **URL** and choose the HTTP **Method** (`GET` or `POST`). 3. If authentication is needed: * `Bearer` — paste the token; the plugin adds the header. * `Custom headers` — paste a JSON object (e.g. `{ "X-API-Key": "123" }`). 4. Optional: add request parameters or body. Provide a JSON object. ### Selecting data 1. Click **Fetch** to send the request through the proxy. 2. After a successful response, pick the array path containing your records (e.g. ``, `data.items`). 3. Choose the **Category field** (x-axis labels) and one or more **Value fields** (series). The preview updates as soon as selections are made. ### Tips * Test the endpoint in Postman or a browser first to confirm the response shape. * Avoid extremely large payloads—paginate on the server side if possible. ### Troubleshooting | Error banner | Meaning | Fix | | ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | “Request parameters must be valid JSON.” | Invalid JSON in headers/body. | Validate with a formatter and try again. | | “Failed to fetch JSON data.” | Network error, auth failure, or CORS block. | Check the HTTP status in the console/log banner and confirm credentials. | | Preview array list is empty | Response doesn’t contain arrays of objects. | Check the array path and ensure the endpoint returns an array of records. | ### Security note The proxy forwards your request payload and headers to `https://chart-plugin.com/proxy`. Avoid sending highly sensitive data or credentials unless you trust the endpoint owner. # With manual styles Chart is highly customizable, read how to set up your own style for each chart. The Style tab gives you full control over how your chart looks. It’s broken into logical panels so you can move from broad styling to fine details. If you need something beyond what’s available here — pixel-perfect, 1:1 with your design — we’ve got you covered. With **Custom charts**, our team can add any chart exactly as in your mockups to your Chart account. Just **send us your Figma file at ** and we’ll take care of the rest.
### Layout 1. **Palette & series colours** — set individual series colours, gradients, and opacity. 2. **Typography** — adjust font family, weight, size, and colour for titles, labels, and tooltips. 3. **Grid** — change gridline styles. 4. **Data label controls** — toggle labels, set formats. ### Working with series colours * Click a swatch to open the colour picker; use HEX. * Reorder series to match your legend order. ### Typography tips * Match your product’s type ramp by using your primary brand font. * Use upper/lowercase intentionally—chart labels inherit exactly what you type. * Set subtitles to a smaller point size to create hierarchy. ### Grids * Use subtle gridlines (light grey or low opacity) to avoid visual noise. * Add padding via the Settings tab to create breathing room for titles. ### Data labels * Enable labels sparingly—too many labels can clutter the chart. * Use number formatters (Settings) to keep labels consistent (e.g. $1.2K, 12.3%). * For pie charts, combine labels with contrasting colours to maintain readability. # Using a Template Template is the best option to style every part of chart and use it forever. Templates capture the entire Style tab configuration—colours, typography, even per-chart-type tweaks. They make it easy to share design language across your team. One template contains styles for all chart types. ### Templates Access the Templates via the plugin menu and manage it: * **List view** — shows every template. * **Reorder** — click Make default; the first template becomes the default. * **Delete** — removes a template. You’ll be asked to confirm. * **Copy** — duplicate a template to experiment safely. ### Collaboration tips * Use consistent naming conventions (e.g. `Dept - Use Case`). ### Troubleshooting | Issue | Fix | | ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Template list empty | Sign in or re-enter your license key in the Create chart UI. | | Cannot save | Ensure your license email is set and template service is reachable. Check the Critical Errors banner. | # Custom charts Chart as most chart plugins help you generate standard charts. But many teams need something more specific: charts that match internal brand guidelines, product UI, presentation styles, research report layouts, or custom data visualization standards. With **Custom Charts for Teams**, we can turn those designs into reusable chart types inside Chart. That means your team can generate charts in Figma that match your company’s required style — instead of rebuilding them manually every time. 👉 Send your chart mockups to **** and get it inside Chart in 1 day! ### Just a few examples Custom Charts let us create almost any non-standard chart type, as well as standard charts with advanced styling beyond what is available in the Style tab of the basic plugin.
### What this means in practice If you already have chart mockups, design references, or examples from your reports, dashboards, or presentations, we can use them as a basis for implementation. We can recreate: * custom chart types * brand-specific styling * non-standard visual compositions * unique label treatments * custom legends, annotations, and decorative elements * chart variants that standard plugins usually cannot generate well The result is a reusable chart setup inside Chart that your team can use directly in Figma. ### From mockup to reusable chart type The usual workflow is simple: 1. **Share your references**. Send us your Figma files, mockups, screenshots, or examples of the chart styles you need. 2. **We review the requirements**. We look at the structure, styling, edge cases, and what should be reusable for your team. 3. **We implement the custom chart**. We build the chart type or styling into Chart. 4. **Your team uses it in Figma**. Once ready, your team can generate those charts directly in Figma instead of recreating them manually. # Canvas, Axes, and Formatting Fine-tune how your chart appears by adjusting the canvas size, margins, axis titles, and number/date formatting. These settings are especially important when you’re preparing production-ready visuals. ### Canvas & margins * **Canvas width/height** — matches the size of the SVG inserted into Figma. Align these dimensions with your layout grid. * **Margins** — add breathing room around the chart so titles and labels aren’t clipped. Increase margins when enabling legends or long axis labels. ### Titles and subtitles * Provide clear titles and optional subtitles to describe the chart at a glance. * Keep them concise; use the same tone as the rest of your presentation. * Pair with the Style tab’s typography settings for consistent branding. ### Axes * **X-axis title** — add context (e.g., “Month” or “Sprint”). * **Y-axis primary/secondary** — label metrics (e.g., “Revenue ($K)”). Secondary axis is useful for multi-metric charts. * **Min/Max** — override auto-scaling if you need consistent ranges across charts. * **Tick interval** — define step sizes for the axis. Leave blank to auto-calculate. ### Number formatting Located under **Simple Formatter**: * **Prefix/Suffix** — add currency symbols (`$`, `€`) or units (`%`). * **Grouping & thousands separator** — choose space, comma, or period. * **Decimals** — control precision. * **Abbreviate** — toggle compact notation (e.g., “1.2K”). ### Date formatting * If your x-axis uses dates, you can control it's format (e.g., `%Y-%m-%d`). # Use Chart with Components and Auto layout in Figma If you want to build scalable DataViz library in Figma, you need to know how to combine full power of Chart with great tools that available in Figma.
