AreaChart fills the region between a line and the axis, emphasizing the magnitude of values over time. It supports stacking, which makes it easy to show how parts contribute to a whole. See Charts for the shared data, series, and formatting model.

Basic Usage

Stacked

Stacking shows how each series contributes to the total. The topmost line represents the combined value.

Minimal

Set show_grid=False to drop the background gridlines. Without them the filled area reads as a single glanceable shape — a good fit for compact trend cards where the silhouette matters more than reading exact values off an axis.

Smooth

Set curve="smooth" for gently curved lines between data points. The filled area follows the curve.

Step

Set curve="step" to connect points with step-shaped lines. The filled area follows the stepped edges.

Value Formatting

Use value_format to format numeric values on the value axis and in tooltips. It accepts the same pipe strings as Prefab expressions and data table columns, including currency, currency:EUR, percent:1, and compact:0.

API Reference

AreaChart Parameters

list[dict] | str

list[ChartSeries]
required
Series definitions — each becomes a filled area on the chart.
str | None
default:"None"
Data key for x-axis labels.
int
default:"300"
Chart height in pixels.
bool
default:"False"
Stack areas on top of each other.
Literal["linear", "smooth", "step"]
default:"\"linear\""
Interpolation curve between data points.
bool
default:"False"
Show a dot at each data point.
bool
default:"False"
Show a legend below the chart.
bool
default:"True"
Show tooltips on hover.
bool
default:"True"
Show horizontal grid lines.
bool
default:"True"
Show the y-axis with its tick labels. Set to False for a compact, axis-free reading where the shape matters more than exact values.
str
default:"\"auto\""
Format value-axis ticks and tooltip values with an expression pipe such as currency, currency:EUR, percent:1, or compact:0.
str | None
default:"None"
Additional Tailwind CSS classes.

ChartSeries Parameters

str
