Demos

For examples and details on the usage of this React component, visit the component demo pages:

Chart composition

Import

import { ChartContainer } from '@mui/x-charts/ChartContainer';
// or
import { ChartContainer } from '@mui/x-charts';
// or
import { ChartContainer } from '@mui/x-charts-pro';

Learn about the difference by reading this guide on minimizing bundle size.

It sets up the data providers as well as the <svg> for the chart.

This is a combination of both the ChartDataProvider and ChartsSurface components.

Props

Props of the native component are also available.

Name	Type	Default	Description
colors	Array<string> \| func	rainbowSurgePalette	Color palette used to colorize multiple series.
dataset	Array<object>	-	An array of objects that can be used to populate series and axes data using their `dataKey` property.
disableAxisListener	bool	false	If `true`, the charts will not listen to the mouse move event. It might break interactive features, but will improve performance.
disableVoronoi	bool	-	If true, the voronoi interaction are ignored.
height	number	-	The height of the chart in px. If not defined, it takes the height of the parent element.
highlightedItem	{ dataIndex?: number, seriesId: number \| string }	-	The highlighted item. Used when the highlight is controlled.
id	string	-	This prop is used to help implement the accessibility logic. If you don't provide this prop. It falls back to a randomly generated id.
margin	{ bottom?: number, left?: number, right?: number, top?: number }	-	The margin between the SVG and the drawing area. It's used for leaving some space for extra information such as the x- and y-axis or legend. Accepts an object with the optional properties: `top`, `bottom`, `left`, and `right`.
onAxisClick	func	-	The function called for onClick events. The second argument contains information about all line/bar elements at the current mouse position. Signature:`function(event: MouseEvent, data: null \| AxisData) => void` `event` The mouse event recorded on the `<svg/>` element. `data` The data about the clicked axis and items associated with it.
onHighlightChange	func	-	The callback fired when the highlighted item changes. Signature:`function(highlightedItem: HighlightItemData \| null) => void` `highlightedItem` The newly highlighted item.
onItemClick	func	-	Callback fired when clicking close to an item. This is only available for scatter plot for now. Signature:`function(event: MouseEvent, scatterItemIdentifier: ScatterItemIdentifier) => void` `event` Mouse event caught at the svg level `scatterItemIdentifier` Identify which item got clicked
series	Array<object>	-	The array of series to display. Each type of series has its own specificity. Please refer to the appropriate docs page to learn more about it.
skipAnimation	bool	-	If `true`, animations are skipped. If unset or `false`, the animations respects the user's `prefers-reduced-motion` setting.
voronoiMaxRadius	number	-	Defines the maximal distance between a scatter point and the pointer that triggers the interaction. If `undefined`, the radius is assumed to be infinite.
width	number	-	The width of the chart in px. If not defined, it takes the width of the parent element.
xAxis	Array<{ classes?: object, colorMap?: { colors: Array<string>, type: 'ordinal', unknownColor?: string, values?: Array<Date \| number \| string> } \| { color: Array<string> \| func, max?: Date \| number, min?: Date \| number, type: 'continuous' } \| { colors: Array<string>, thresholds: Array<Date \| number>, type: 'piecewise' }, data?: array, dataKey?: string, disableLine?: bool, disableTicks?: bool, domainLimit?: 'nice' \| 'strict' \| func, fill?: string, hideTooltip?: bool, id?: number \| string, label?: string, labelStyle?: object, max?: Date \| number, min?: Date \| number, position?: 'bottom' \| 'top', reverse?: bool, scaleType?: 'band' \| 'linear' \| 'log' \| 'point' \| 'pow' \| 'sqrt' \| 'time' \| 'utc', slotProps?: object, slots?: object, stroke?: string, sx?: Array<func \| object \| bool> \| func \| object, tickInterval?: 'auto' \| array \| func, tickLabelInterval?: 'auto' \| func, tickLabelPlacement?: 'middle' \| 'tick', tickLabelStyle?: object, tickMaxStep?: number, tickMinStep?: number, tickNumber?: number, tickPlacement?: 'end' \| 'extremities' \| 'middle' \| 'start', tickSize?: number, valueFormatter?: func }>	-	The configuration of the x-axes. If not provided, a default axis config is used. An array of AxisConfig objects.
yAxis	Array<{ classes?: object, colorMap?: { colors: Array<string>, type: 'ordinal', unknownColor?: string, values?: Array<Date \| number \| string> } \| { color: Array<string> \| func, max?: Date \| number, min?: Date \| number, type: 'continuous' } \| { colors: Array<string>, thresholds: Array<Date \| number>, type: 'piecewise' }, data?: array, dataKey?: string, disableLine?: bool, disableTicks?: bool, domainLimit?: 'nice' \| 'strict' \| func, fill?: string, hideTooltip?: bool, id?: number \| string, label?: string, labelStyle?: object, max?: Date \| number, min?: Date \| number, position?: 'left' \| 'right', reverse?: bool, scaleType?: 'band' \| 'linear' \| 'log' \| 'point' \| 'pow' \| 'sqrt' \| 'time' \| 'utc', slotProps?: object, slots?: object, stroke?: string, sx?: Array<func \| object \| bool> \| func \| object, tickInterval?: 'auto' \| array \| func, tickLabelInterval?: 'auto' \| func, tickLabelPlacement?: 'middle' \| 'tick', tickLabelStyle?: object, tickMaxStep?: number, tickMinStep?: number, tickNumber?: number, tickPlacement?: 'end' \| 'extremities' \| 'middle' \| 'start', tickSize?: number, valueFormatter?: func }>	-	The configuration of the y-axes. If not provided, a default axis config is used. An array of AxisConfig objects.
zAxis	Array<{ colorMap?: { colors: Array<string>, type: 'ordinal', unknownColor?: string, values?: Array<Date \| number \| string> } \| { color: Array<string> \| func, max?: Date \| number, min?: Date \| number, type: 'continuous' } \| { colors: Array<string>, thresholds: Array<Date \| number>, type: 'piecewise' }, data?: array, dataKey?: string, id?: string, max?: number, min?: number }>	-	The configuration of the z-axes.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.
