- 2KPI for a single headline number; line / area for trends over time.
- 3Bar for comparing categories; pie for parts of a whole.

Choosing a type
KPIs answer “how many / how much” at a glance. Line and area show change over time. Bar and pie compare categories (bar when there are many, pie for a few parts of a whole). Tables are best when readers need exact rows. Heatmaps reveal concentration across two dimensions.
One shared theme
Every chart merges the shared design-token ApexCharts theme before rendering, so colors, typography, and spacing are identical across charts, dashboards, embeds, and even a future second CMS port.
