Range Chart API

Shade the spread, not a single line - the API for min-max bands and forecast cones. See the Range Chart demo for examples and usage.

Import

ts
import "@michi-vz/wc/range-chart";
// <michi-vz-range-chart> is now defined
ts
import { mountRangeChart } from "@michi-vz/core";

const chart = mountRangeChart(el, props);

Props

PropTypeDefaultDescription
dataSet*RangeDataItem[]Array of series, each drawn as a filled valueMin..valueMax band over time with an optional median line
titlestringOptional chart title rendered above the plot
xAxisDataType"date_annual" | "date_monthly" | "number""number"How x values are parsed and formatted: yearly dates, monthly dates, or plain numbers
xAxisFormat(d: number | string) => stringFormats an x tick value into its display label
yAxisFormat(d: number | string) => stringFormats a y tick value into its display label
yAxisDomain[number, number]Explicit [min, max] for the value (y) axis; overrides the auto domain derived from the bands
ticksnumber5Approximate number of axis ticks to generate
tickValuesArray<number | Date>Explicit tick values, overriding the generated ones
curve"curveBumpX" | "curveLinear" | "curveMonotoneX"Line interpolation: curveLinear, curveMonotoneX, or curveBumpX
fillOpacitynumber0.8band fill opacity (default 0.8).
tooltipFormatter(d: RangeDataPoint, item: RangeDataItem) => stringReturns custom tooltip HTML for a hovered datum (sanitized before it is inserted)
onHighlightItem(labels: string[]) => voidCalled when the hovered/highlighted label(s) change
Common props — shared by every chart (14)
PropTypeDefaultDescription
widthnumber1000Chart width in pixels
heightnumber500Chart height in pixels
marginMargin{ top: 50, right: 50, bottom: 50, left: 60 }Inner margins (top/right/bottom/left, in px) reserved for axes, titles, and labels
colorsstring[]Categorical palette for series/labels without an explicit colour or colorsMapping entry
colorsMappingRecord<string, string>Explicit label -> colour map; takes precedence over the palette and per-item colours
highlightItemsstring[]Labels to emphasise; all other marks dim
disabledItemsstring[]Labels to hide and exclude from scales/stacks
renderer"svg" | "canvas""svg"Render as inline SVG (default) or to a canvas (faster for large datasets); getContext() is identical either way
localestringBCP-47 locale used for number and date formatting
skipColorMappingDispatchbooleanfalseExternal-CSS mode: unmapped labels resolve to transparent and onColorMappingGenerated is not emitted, so mark colours come from your CSS via the data-label-safe contract
enableTransitionsbooleantrueAnimate updates with CSS transitions (default true)
onColorMappingGenerated(mapping: Record<string, string>) => voidCalled with the resolved label -> colour map after the chart assigns colours
onChartDataProcessed(context: ChartContext) => voidCalled with the renderer-agnostic ChartContext whenever the data is (re)processed
onDataWarning(warnings: DataWarning[]) => voidCalled with any non-fatal data warnings (duplicate labels, non-finite values, gaps, ...)

Events

The web component dispatches these bubbling CustomEvents (the engine exposes the same via the on* callbacks in the table above):

EventDetailFires when
michi-vz:highlightstring[]hover highlight changes
michi-vz:colormappingRecord<string, string>a color mapping is generated
michi-vz:dataprocessedChartContextdata is (re)processed
michi-vz:datawarningDataWarning[]input warnings are detected

getContext()

mountRangeChart(el, props).getContext() returns a renderer-agnostic RangeChartContext (structured stats + a deterministic natural-language summary + an a11y table). See LLM context.
