Props

Props of the native component are also available.

Name	Type	Default	Description
height*	number	-	The height of the chart in px.
series*	Array<object>	-	The array of series to display. Each type of series has its own specificity. Please refer to the appropriate docs page to learn more about it.
width*	number	-	The width of the chart in px.
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.
highlightedItem	{ dataIndex?: number, seriesId?: number \| string }	-	The item currently highlighted. Turns highlighting into a controlled prop.
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`.
onHighlightChange	func	-	The callback fired when the highlighted item changes. Signature:`function(highlightedItem: HighlightItemData \| null) => void` `highlightedItem` The newly highlighted item.
plugins	Array<object>	-	An array of plugins defining how to preprocess data. If not provided, the container supports line, bar, scatter and pie charts.
