Home Components Annotations

Annotations

Annotations help you add important context directly within a chart - highlight important dates, time periods, or specific points on a chart to make it easier for your audience to pull insights from the information.

At a glance

Evidence currently offers 4 types of annotations, which can be defined inline or with a dataset:

  • ReferenceLine: draw a line on a chart (e.g. sales target, launch dates, linear regression)
  • ReferenceArea: highlight an area on a chart (e.g. holiday shopping periods, metric control ranges)
  • ReferencePoint: highlight specific points on a chart (e.g. anomalies, points of interest)
  • Callout: draw attention to data (e.g. data trend explanation)

    </Callout>
</LineChart>

Reference Line

Reference lines allow you to add lines to a chart to provide additional context within the visualization. These lines can be produced by providing a specific value (y=50 or x='2020-03-14') or by providing a dataset (e.g., date, event_name).

If you provide coordinates for [x, y] and [x2, y2], you can create sloped lines between points.

When a dataset is provided, ReferenceLine can generate multiple lines - one for each row in the dataset. This can be helpful for plotting things like important milestones, launch dates, or experiment start dates.

Reference Area

Reference areas allow you to add highlighted ranges to a chart. These ranges can be:

  • Along the x-axis (e.g., recession date ranges)
  • Along the y-axis (e.g., control threshold for a metric)
  • Both (e.g, highlighting a specific series of points in the middle of the chart)

Reference areas can be produced by defining the x and y-axis values inline (e.g., xMin='2020-03-14' xMax='2020-06-30') or by supplying a dataset (e.g., start_date, end_date, name).

When a dataset is provided, ReferenceArea can generate multiple areas - one for each row in the dataset.

Continuous Axis Bar Charts

On a continous x-axis (dates or numbers), the reference area will start and stop at the exact point on the x-axis. This means it will appear in the middle of whichever bar is at that point. If you would prefer to see the area cover the full bar, there are 2 ways to achieve this:

  1. Add a buffer on either side of the range you want to highlight (e.g., instead of ending the area at 2020-07-01, end it at 2020-07-15)
  2. Change your x-axis to categorical data (using xType=category). If using a date axis, you may also want to retain the axis label formatting for dates - to achieve this, you can use the xFmt prop (e.g., xFmt=mmm)

Label Overlaps

Reference areas appear behind chart gridlines, including reference area labels. If you are seeing an overlap between the gridlines and the reference area label, you can avoi this by turning gridlines off (yGridlines=false).

Reference Point

Reference points allow you to add labels on certain points to emphasize them in the chart. They can be produced by providing a specific x/y coordinate (e.g. x="2021-05-01" y=11012) or by providing a dataset (e.g. anomalies, points).

When a dataset is provided, ReferencePoint will generate multiple points - one for each row in the dataset. This can be helpful for plotting a large number of points with a succinct syntax.

Callout

Callouts are very similar to reference points, just with different default styling to optimize them for slightly different use cases. Callouts allow you to add a long label somewhere on a chart to describe a trend or provide insight on the data. They can be produced by providing a specific x/y coordinate (e.g. x="2021-05-01" y=11012) or by providing a dataset (e.g. anomalies, points).

When a dataset is provided, Callout will generate multiple points - one for each row in the dataset. This can be helpful for plotting a large number of points with a succinct syntax.
