# layout.chart

A chart: a trend over time, a breakdown. Renders <figure>; put the chart's svg or canvas inside with a height, and a text.caption that says what it shows

Component: [`<Layout>`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/components/layout.md) · Renders: `<figure>` · Profile: [UI](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md)

## Example

```tsx
<Layout intent="layout.chart">
  …
</Layout>
```

## Choosing between neighbours

Find the row that describes your element, and use the intent on the right.

| If it is for… | Use |
|---|---|
| A chart: a trend over time, a breakdown. Renders <figure>; put the chart's svg or canvas inside with a height, and a text.caption that says what it shows | `layout.chart` (this page) |
| One amount within a range, like a battery level | [`layout.meter`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/layout/meter.md) |
| A single number | [`text.stat`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/text/stat.md) |

## Connections

Declared in the registry, both directions. Where an intent is used in your own code is something check and the gallery see; this site has no app code.

## For registry authors

**Starter intents.** These are the intents `prongs add` puts in your registry, shown in this site’s theme. Yours are your own `registry.ts`: rename, restyle and add to them, and see them with `prongs add gallery`.

What this intent is built from and its entry in `components/prongs/registry.ts`. You only need this to change how it looks or to add an intent like it.

How layout.chart resolves, and its definition

Each layer adds to the one before it; a later class wins over an earlier one that sets the same thing.

- [`arrange.stack`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md#arrange-stack) — Children in a column, free to shrink inside a row or grid

  ```
  flex min-w-0 flex-col
  ```

- `layout.chart` (this page) — A chart: a trend over time, a breakdown. Renders <figure>; put the chart's svg or canvas inside with a height, and a text.caption that says what it shows

  ```
  m-0 min-w-0 gap-2 [&>svg]:text-primary
  ```

Final classes

```
flex flex-col m-0 min-w-0 gap-2 [&>svg]:text-primary
```
