Chart block
Fifteen chart types with realistic assay data.
The chart block renders any of fifteen chart types from inline data, a table in the same document, or a saved query against a data environment. It re-renders automatically when its source updates — handy for live study-status documents.
A realistic example: PK time-course
Three dose groups (3, 10, 30 mg/kg), plasma concentration over 24 hours, modelled with first-order absorption and elimination. Hover any legend chip to highlight a series:
ELISA standard curve
The chart block fits a 4-parameter logistic curve to your standards. Click any sample to project its OD reading onto the curve and read off concentration:
Chart types
- Line
- Time-course, kinetic, longitudinal data. Optional error bars (SD, SEM, 95% CI).
- Scatter
- Two-variable correlations. Optional regression overlay.
- Bar / grouped bar
- Categorical comparison; group by treatment, condition, timepoint.
- Dot plot
- Individual data points with optional jittered group means.
- Box plot
- Distribution summary across groups.
- Violin plot
- Density-aware distribution comparison.
- Histogram
- Distribution of a single variable.
- Pie
- Composition. Used sparingly.
- Area
- Stacked time-course.
- Heatmap
- Two-axis intensity grid — gene-by-sample expression, plate readout, etc.
- Dose-response
- 4-PL fit; read off EC₅₀, IC₅₀ automatically.
- Kaplan-Meier
- Survival curves with at-risk tables.
- Forest
- Effect-size aggregation across studies.
- Volcano
- Log fold-change vs −log p-value. RNA-seq, proteomics.
- Manhattan
- GWAS-style, position vs significance.
Data sources
A chart can be powered by any of:
- Inline data — a small static array typed into the block.
- A table block earlier in the same document.
- A saved query against a data environment in the workspace. The query result rebuilds when the underlying records change, so the chart stays current.
Configuration
Common knobs:
- Axes: linear / log; explicit limits or auto.
- Series colour: per-series override or palette.
- Error bars: column for
±value, or auto from grouped data. - Legend position; gridlines; title.
- Reference lines (e.g. LLOQ on an immunoassay).
Fullscreen mode
Click the expand icon to take any chart fullscreen — useful during meetings. Charts that have group/colour controls keep their controls in fullscreen.
