Reading the chart
Section titled “Reading the chart”Compare category values with an endpoint marker and a thin stem to the baseline. The endpoint position carries the value; the stem is a reading aid.
Data requirements
Section titled “Data requirements”Use one category per row and one or more numeric series. Values are finite numbers or explicit nulls; the row mapper does not group or aggregate repeated keys.
The roles below describe the chart's data contract. Generic category/value roles resolve from the dataset; explicitly bind specialized numeric roles as shown in the complete example.
| Data role | Field count |
|---|---|
category | 1 or more |
value | 1 or more |
series | 1 |

Create this chart
Section titled “Create this chart”Install the package using the installation guide, give the host an explicit height, and call createLollipopChart after the host mounts. This factory fixes the chart type to lollipop.
<div id="chart" style="width: 100%; height: 450px;"></div>Complete runnable TypeScript example with sample data

// When the host unmounts:// chart.destroy();Await updates before reading a snapshot or exporting. Call chart.destroy() when the host unmounts. See the live catalog to interact with this type.
Supported options
Section titled “Supported options”Set these fields in chartOptions. The option schema validates supported keys, ranges and choices; updating chartOptions replaces that authored object.
| Option | Default | Accepted values |
|---|---|---|
showGridLines | true | true or false |
markOpacity | 1 | 0.2 to 1; step 0.05 |
Titles, legends, theme and labels belong to presentation or the corresponding top-level setting. Axis, color, navigation and interaction support depends on the selected chart; see Data & Configuration.
