Overview

Gradient Depth Area is the depth-specialized single-magnitude chart of the Plotcn Area family. It visualizes a single quantitative magnitude series across an ordered domain, featuring a controlled semantic opacity fade from the signal boundary toward the chart surface.

The primary analytical question answered by Gradient Depth Area is:

"How does this magnitude change across the ordered domain?"

Its visual specialization is:

"Can the area retain useful magnitude while visually dissolving into the surrounding surface instead of behaving like a flat translucent block?"

Unlike decorative gradients that use arbitrary rainbow spectrums or glow filters, Gradient Depth Area employs a semantic fade-to-surface. The stroke and gradient share one single semantic series identity; opacity gradually tapers downward so the chart surface underneath emerges naturally.

Gradient Depth Area vs Prism Area (011)

  • Prism Area: Uses a uniform, flat semantic fill. Preferred when styling must remain completely neutral or when presenting dense dashboards with multiple adjacent visual elements.
  • Gradient Depth Area: Uses a controlled opacity taper from the signal boundary toward the surface. The stroke defines the exact quantitative trend while the fill adds visual depth without introducing additional cognitive weight.

Depth Model

DEPTH ARCHITECTURESemantic Fade-to-Surface

Stroke Defines Trend; Controlled Opacity Fade Dissolves into Surface

Signal Boundary (2px)
Surface Fade (32% → 2%)

Styling Principle: The gradient changes visual emphasis, not quantitative meaning. Fills dissolve into surface via opacity without baking hardcoded background colors.
SSR-safe dynamic IDs prevent cross-chart gradient leakage

1. Signal-to-Surface Opacity Attenuation

At every domain coordinate xx:

Opacity(y)=Taper(ystrokeybaseline)\text{Opacity}(y) = \text{Taper}\left(y_{\text{stroke}} \to y_{\text{baseline}}\right)
  1. Signal Boundary (0% Stop): Renders at the maximum configured fillOpacity (default: 0.32). The crisp 2px solid stroke provides the authoritative quantitative boundary.
  2. Transition Region (55% Stop): Opacity gently attenuates to 42%\sim 42\% of the leading value (default: 0.14).
  3. Surface Threshold (100% Stop): Opacity dissolves to 2%\le 2\%, allowing the chart card surface or page background to emerge seamlessly without a hard boundary.

Gradient Semantics

Gradient opacity does not signify:

  • Higher or lower statistical confidence.
  • Probability distribution or uncertainty bounds.
  • Kernel density or observation concentration.
  • Projected future values versus observed history.

The visual fade is an aesthetic technique for surface integration and depth perception. The data contains strictly one quantitative number per observation coordinate.

Baseline Semantics

Gradient Depth Area fills toward an explicit, truthful baseline:

  1. "zero" (Default): Fills toward y=0y = 0. The automatic domain calculation ensures $0$ is enclosed within the vertical axis scale.
  2. "domain-min": Fills toward the minimum value observed across the visible domain. Ideal for elevated series where zero is far removed from the operating range.
  3. Explicit Numeric Baseline: Fills toward a specific user-configured threshold (e.g. baseline={100}).
[!CAUTION] Data Integrity: Plotcn never fades toward an artificial canvas bottom when the mathematical baseline is elsewhere. The linear gradient aligns strictly with the data coordinate space.

Data Contract

Gradient Depth Area accepts a readonly array of observation records. Caller data is never mutated or sorted in place.

TypeScript
export interface RequestVolumePoint {  date: string             // Chronological or ordinal domain key  requests: number | null   // Single quantitative magnitude}

Series Contract

Gradient Depth Area is strictly specialized for a single series. Configuration is passed via the series prop:

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
keyNumericKeyOf<TData>YesProperty key on observation records containing metric values
labelstringYesDescriptive label for tooltips, legend, and screen readers
valueFormatter(value: number) => stringOptionalOptional custom numeric formatter for values and tooltips

Color Customization

Gradient Depth Area accepts semantic CSS theme tokens or custom color overrides:

TSX
<GradientDepthArea  data={data}  xKey="date"  series={series}  color="var(--chart-1)"          // Primary stroke and all gradient stops  selectionColor="var(--chart-selection)" // Active locked crosshair line  gradientMode="surface"         // "surface" | "none"  fillOpacity={0.32}             // Leading boundary opacity (0.1 to 1.0)/>
  • Single Color System: Changing color synchronizes the boundary stroke, all three gradient stops, active inspection dots, and tooltips simultaneously without remounting or replaying animations.
  • Fade-to-Surface via Opacity: Plotcn fades stops by varying stopOpacity against the single color. No background hex codes are hardcoded, ensuring instant portability across Light, Dark, and custom card backgrounds.

Data Safety Guarantees

  1. Styling Is Not Data: Gradient opacity never encodes confidence, density, probability, or a second variable.
  2. Deterministic Single Series: Specialized strictly for one series; multi-series stacking is prohibited.
  3. Truthful Missing Values: Missing observations (nullnull) break geometry cleanly; zero is never substituted.
  4. Finite Coordinates Only: Non-finite coordinates (NaN, Infinity) are sanitized before reaching SVG paths.
  5. No Baked Backgrounds: Gradients fade via opacity; no hardcoded background colors are baked into the component.
  6. SSR-Safe Gradient IDs: Dynamic IDs generated via React.useId() prevent cross-instance gradient collisions.
  7. Caller Immutability: Original caller records are never mutated or sorted in place.
  8. Accessibility Disclosure: Off-screen structured HTML data table disclosure provides full non-visual access to all values.
