Scatter Chart

x-h-chart-scatter draws a scatter chart from a single reactive configuration object: the same plot as a line chart, but with only the points and no connecting lines. Multiple series are overlaid on a shared axis. Charts inherit the active theme colors and adapt to light and dark mode automatically.

Usage

Give the chart a container with an explicit height (charts fill their parent). Provide one or more series, each a list of numeric data points, and a matching labels array naming the points along the axis. Use a scatter chart to show individual data points without implying a connection between them. When a trend across an ordered sequence matters, use a Line Chart.

Accessibility

The chart is exposed to assistive technologies as a figure with a visually-hidden data table of its values, so screen-reader users get the underlying numbers (the visual points, axes, and legend are marked decorative). It defaults to the accessible name "Scatter chart". Set an aria-label attribute on the element to give it a more meaningful name.

Events

When tooltip is enabled, hovering and clicking points emit bubbling CustomEvents on the chart element: chart-hover, chart-leave, and chart-click. See the events reference for the shared detail shape.
