Scatter Plot

x/y points with optional trend line, error bars, and variable size.

Line Plot

Connected series with solid, dashed, dotted, and dash-dot styles.

Bar Chart

Categorical bars — grouped, stacked, and single-series.

Histogram

Distribution of a numeric column with configurable bins and normalisation.

2D Histogram

Joint density of two numeric columns with colourmap and optional correlation.

Box Plot

Median, IQR, and whiskers per group — with optional strip or swarm overlay.

Violin Plot

KDE density mirrored per group, with configurable bandwidth and swarm overlay.

Strip Plot

Individual points jittered or swarmed by group; composes with box/violin.

Pie Chart

Pie or donut chart with inside, outside, or legend-only labels.

Heatmap

Matrix of values with colourmap, optional cell labels, and row/col clustering.

Dot Plot

Size and colour encoding on a categorical grid — common in single-cell analysis.

Contour Plot

Filled or line contours from gridded or scattered x/y/z data via IDW interpolation.

Stacked Area Plot

Stacked time-series with absolute or 100%-normalised mode.

Waterfall Chart

Running total with positive/negative deltas, connectors, and value labels.

Candlestick Chart

OHLC bars with optional volume panel and datetime axis.

Volcano Plot

log₂FC vs −log₁₀(p) with threshold lines and top-N gene labels.

Manhattan Plot

GWAS p-values across chromosomes with genome-wide threshold and gene labels.

UpSet Plot

Set intersection sizes as a bar chart with a membership matrix below.

Chord Diagram

Pairwise flows between N groups as arc segments and Bézier ribbons.

Sankey Diagram

Multi-stage flow with tapered Bézier links and source/gradient colouring.

Phylogenetic Tree

Newick, edge-list, distance-matrix, or linkage input; rectangular, slanted, or circular layout.

Synteny Plot

Genome synteny ribbons between sequences with forward and inverted blocks.

Band Plot

Shaded confidence or credible interval bands, standalone or attached to a line/scatter.

Series Plot

Multiple named data series on one canvas with per-series line and marker styles.

Brick Plot
