Chart types
Chart types — overview, shared editor settings, and links to each chart type reference in Toucan AI.
Target Audience: Non-technical users and builders configuring visualizations in the Library.
Overview
Toucan AI supports several chart types in the Library manual editor. Each type has its own dimension, measure, and display options. Use the pages below when you refine a chart after AI creation or build one from scratch in Manual Edit mode.
Prerequisites
- A connected and active database.
- A Data source (database and query) selected in the chart editor.
Chart type reference index
| Page | Use case |
|---|---|
| Bar chart | Compare categories or rankings |
| Stacked bar chart | Part-to-whole breakdown within categories |
| Line chart | Trends over time or by category |
| Circular chart | Share of a whole (pie / donut) |
| Heatmap chart | Two dimensions with cell intensity |
| Value | Single KPI with optional variation |
| Table | Tabular data with column-level formatting |
Shared chart-level settings
All chart types share these fields at the top of the manual editor:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | Name shown in the Library and embeds. |
| Narrative | Optional explanation for end users. |
| Data | Database and query that supply columns for the chart. |
Shared measure options
Where a chart uses a metric column (Bars, Line, Value, etc.), you can usually set:
- Aggregation (Sum, Average, Count rows, etc.). Options depend on column type.
- Format number — decimals, percent, currency, and Unit for numeric columns.
See each chart page above for the exact fields available.
