Introduction
Note: PatternFly React charts live in its own package at @patternfly/react-charts!
PatternFly React charts are based on the Victory chart library, along with additional functionality, custom components, and theming for PatternFly. This provides a collection of React based components you can use to build PatternFly patterns with consistent markup, styling, and behavior.
Examples
Combined cursor and voronoi containers
This demonstrates how to combine cursor and voronoi containers to display tooltips along with a vertical cursor.
Embedded legend
This demonstrates how to embed a legend within a tooltip. Combining cursor and voronoi containers is required to display tooltips with a vertical cursor.
Embedded HTML
This demonstrates how to embed HTML within a tooltip. Combining cursor and voronoi containers is required to display tooltips with a vertical cursor.
Embedded legend with custom font size
This demonstrates how to embed a legend within a tooltip, but with a custom font size. Combining cursor and voronoi containers is required to display tooltips with a vertical cursor.
Legend
This demonstrates an approach for applying tooltips to a legend using a custom legend label component.
CSS overflow
This demonstrates an alternate way of applying tooltips using CSS overflow instead of constrainToVisibleArea.
Wrapped chart
This demonstrates an alternate way of applying tooltips by wrapping charts with the Tooltip component.

Props
ChartTooltip
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| activateData | boolean | When true, tooltip events will set the active prop on both data and label elements. | |
| active | boolean | The active prop specifies whether the tooltip component should be displayed. | |
| angle | number | The angle prop specifies the angle to rotate the tooltip around its origin point. | |
| center | { x: number; y: number } | The center prop determines the position of the center of the tooltip flyout. This prop should be given as an object that describes the desired x and y svg coordinates of the center of the tooltip. This prop is useful for positioning the flyout of a tooltip independent from the pointer. When ChartTooltip is used with ChartVoronoiContainer, the center prop is what enables the mouseFollowTooltips option. When this prop is set, non-zero pointerLength values will no longer be respected. | |
| centerOffset | { x: number | Function, y: number | Function } | The centerOffset prop determines the position of the center of the tooltip flyout in relation to the flyout pointer. This prop should be given as an object of x and y, where each is either a numeric offset value or a function that returns a numeric value. When this prop is set, non-zero pointerLength values will no longer be respected. | |
| constrainToVisibleArea | boolean | false | The constrainToVisibleArea prop determines whether to coerce tooltips so that they fit within the visible area of the chart. When this prop is set to true, tooltip pointers will still point to the correct data point, but the center of the tooltip will be shifted to fit within the overall width and height of the svg Victory renders. |
| cornerRadius | number | Function | The cornerRadius prop determines corner radius of the flyout container. This prop may be given as a positive number or a function of datum. | |
| data | any[] | Victory components can pass a data prop to their label component. This can be useful in custom components that need to make use of the entire dataset. | |
| datum | {} | Victory components can pass a datum prop to their label component. This can be used to calculate functional styles, and determine text. | |
| dx | number | Function | The dx prop defines a horizontal shift from the x coordinate. | |
| dy | number | Function | The dy prop defines a vertical shift from the y coordinate. | |
| events | object | The events prop attaches arbitrary event handlers to the label component. This prop should be given as an object of event names and corresponding event handlers. When events are provided via Victory’s event system, event handlers will be called with the event, the props of the component is attached to, and an eventKey. @example events={{onClick: (evt) => alert("x: " + evt.clientX)}} | |
| flyoutComponent | React.ReactElement<any> | The flyoutComponent prop takes a component instance which will be used to create the flyout path for each tooltip. The new element created from the passed flyoutComponent will be supplied with the following properties: x, y, dx, dy, index, datum, cornerRadius, pointerLength, pointerWidth, width, height, orientation, style, and events. Any of these props may be overridden by passing in props to the supplied component, or modified or ignored within the custom component itself. If flyoutComponent is omitted, a default Flyout component will be created with props described above. @example flyoutComponent={<Flyout x={50} y={50}/>}, flyoutComponent={<MyCustomFlyout/>} | |
| flyoutHeight | number | Function | The flyoutHeight prop defines the height of the tooltip flyout. This prop may be given as a positive number or a function of datum. If this prop is not set, height will be determined based on an approximate text size calculated from the text and style props provided to ChartTooltip. | |
| flyoutStyle | number | Function | The style prop applies SVG style properties to the rendered flyout container. These props will be passed to the flyoutComponent. | |
| flyoutWidth | number | Function | The flyoutWidth prop defines the width of the tooltip flyout. This prop may be given as a positive number or a function of datum. If this prop is not set, flyoutWidth will be determined based on an approximate text size calculated from the text and style props provided to VictoryTooltip. | |
| groupComponent | React.ReactElement<any> | The groupComponent prop takes a component instance which will be used to create group elements for use within container elements. This prop defaults to a <g> tag.} | |
| horizontal | boolean | The horizontal prop determines whether to plot the flyouts to the left / right of the (x, y) coordinate rather than top / bottom. This is useful when an orientation prop is not provided, and data will determine the default orientation. i.e. negative values result in a left orientation and positive values will result in a right orientation by default. | |
| index | number | string | The index prop represents the index of the datum in the data array. | |
| labelComponent | React.ReactElement<any> | <ChartLabel /> | The labelComponent prop takes a component instance which will be used to render each tooltip label. The new element created from the passed labelComponent will be supplied with the following properties: x, y, index, datum, verticalAnchor, textAnchor, style, text, and events. Any of these props may be overridden by passing in props to the supplied component, or modified or ignored within the custom component itself. If labelComponent is omitted, a new ChartLabel will be created with the props described above. @example labelComponent={<ChartLabel dy={20}/>}, labelComponent={<MyCustomLabel/>} |
| labelTextAnchor | string | Function | Defines how the labelComponent text is horizontally positioned relative to its `x` and `y` coordinates. Valid values are 'start', 'middle', 'end', and 'inherit'. | |
| orientation | string | Function | The orientation prop determines which side of the (x, y) coordinate the tooltip should be rendered on. This prop can be given as “top”, “bottom”, “left”, “right”, or as a function of datum that returns one of these values. If this prop is not provided it will be determined from the sign of the datum, and the value of the horizontal prop. | |
| pointerLength | number | Function | The pointerLength prop determines the length of the triangular pointer extending from the flyout. This prop may be given as a positive number or a function of datum. | |
| pointerOrientation | string | Function | This prop determines which side of the tooltip flyout the pointer should originate on. When this prop is not set, it will be determined based on the overall orientation of the flyout in relation to its data point, and any center or centerOffset values. Valid values are 'top', 'bottom', 'left' and 'right. | |
| pointerWidth | number | Function | The pointerWidth prop determines the width of the base of the triangular pointer extending from the flyout. This prop may be given as a positive number or a function of datum. | |
| renderInPortal | boolean | When renderInPortal is true, rendered tooltips will be wrapped in VictoryPortal and rendered within the Portal element within ChartContainer. Note: This prop should not be set to true when using a custom container element. | |
| style | React.CSSProperties | React.CSSProperties[] | The style prop applies CSS properties to the rendered `<text>` element. | |
| text | number | string | Function | string[] | number[] | The text prop defines the text ChartTooltip will render. The text prop may be given as a string, number, or function of datum. When ChartLabel is used as the labelComponent, strings may include newline characters, which ChartLabel will split in to separate <tspan/> elements. | |
| theme | object | getTheme(themeColor) | The theme prop specifies a theme to use for determining styles and layout properties for a component. Any styles or props defined in theme may be overwritten by props specified on the component instance. |
| themeColor | string | Specifies the theme color. Valid values are 'blue', 'green', 'multi', etc. Note: Not compatible with theme prop @example themeColor={ChartThemeColor.blue} | |
| x | number | The x prop defines the x coordinate to use as a basis for horizontal positioning. | |
| y | number | The y prop defines the y coordinate to use as a basis for vertical positioning. |
