Props

Name	Type	Default	Description
series*	Array<object>	-	The series to display in the scatter chart.
axisHighlight	{ x?: 'band' \| 'line' \| 'none', y?: 'band' \| 'line' \| 'none' }	{ x: 'none', y: 'none' }	The configuration of axes highlight. See highlight docs for more details.
bottomAxis	{ axisId?: number \| string, classes?: object, disableLine?: bool, disableTicks?: bool, fill?: string, label?: string, labelFontSize?: number, labelStyle?: object, position?: 'bottom' \| 'top', slotProps?: object, slots?: object, stroke?: string, tickFontSize?: number, 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 } \| string	xAxisIds[0] The id of the first provided axis	Indicate which axis to display the bottom of the charts. Can be a string (the id of the axis) or an object `ChartsXAxisProps`.
colors	Array<string> \| func	blueberryTwilightPalette	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	false	If true, the interaction will not use the Voronoi cell and fall back to hover events.
grid	{ horizontal?: bool, vertical?: bool }	-	Option to display a cartesian grid in the background.
height	number	-	The height of the chart in px. If not defined, it takes the height of the parent element.
leftAxis	{ axisId?: number \| string, classes?: object, disableLine?: bool, disableTicks?: bool, fill?: string, label?: string, labelFontSize?: number, labelStyle?: object, position?: 'left' \| 'right', slotProps?: object, slots?: object, stroke?: string, tickFontSize?: number, 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 } \| string	yAxisIds[0] The id of the first provided axis	Indicate which axis to display the left of the charts. Can be a string (the id of the axis) or an object `ChartsYAxisProps`.
margin	{ bottom?: number, left?: number, right?: number, top?: number }	object Depends on the charts type.	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`.
onItemClick	func	-	Callback fired when clicking on a scatter item. Signature:`function(event: MouseEvent, scatterItemIdentifier: ScatterItemIdentifier) => void` `event` The mouse event recorded on the `<svg/>` element if using Voronoi cells. Or the Mouse event from the scatter element, when `disableVoronoi=true`. `scatterItemIdentifier` The scatter item identifier.
rightAxis	{ axisId?: number \| string, classes?: object, disableLine?: bool, disableTicks?: bool, fill?: string, label?: string, labelFontSize?: number, labelStyle?: object, position?: 'left' \| 'right', slotProps?: object, slots?: object, stroke?: string, tickFontSize?: number, 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 } \| string	null	Indicate which axis to display the right of the charts. Can be a string (the id of the axis) or an object `ChartsYAxisProps`.
slotProps	object	{}	The props used for each component slot.
slots	object	{}	Overridable component slots. See Slots API below for more details.
tooltip	{ axisContent?: elementType, classes?: object, itemContent?: elementType, slotProps?: object, slots?: object, trigger?: 'axis' \| 'item' \| 'none' }	{ trigger: 'item' }	The configuration of the tooltip. See tooltip docs for more details.
topAxis	{ axisId?: number \| string, classes?: object, disableLine?: bool, disableTicks?: bool, fill?: string, label?: string, labelFontSize?: number, labelStyle?: object, position?: 'bottom' \| 'top', slotProps?: object, slots?: object, stroke?: string, tickFontSize?: number, 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 } \| string	null	Indicate which axis to display the top of the charts. Can be a string (the id of the axis) or an object `ChartsXAxisProps`.
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<{ axisId?: number \| string, classes?: object, colorMap?: { color: Array<string> \| func, max?: Date \| number, min?: Date \| number, type: 'continuous' } \| { colors: Array<string>, thresholds: Array<Date \| number>, type: 'piecewise' } \| { colors: Array<string>, type: 'ordinal', unknownColor?: string, values?: Array<Date \| number \| string> }, data?: array, dataKey?: string, disableLine?: bool, disableTicks?: bool, fill?: string, hideTooltip?: bool, id?: number \| string, label?: string, labelFontSize?: number, labelStyle?: object, max?: Date \| number, min?: Date \| number, position?: 'bottom' \| 'left' \| 'right' \| 'top', reverse?: bool, scaleType?: 'band' \| 'linear' \| 'log' \| 'point' \| 'pow' \| 'sqrt' \| 'time' \| 'utc', slotProps?: object, slots?: object, stroke?: string, tickFontSize?: number, 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.
