Scatter Chart

Plot data points on an X-Y plane to visualize relationships

Scatter charts display individual data points on a two-dimensional plane, useful for showing relationships between variables.

Simple Scatter Chart

A scatter chart with two data series and a size axis.

Usage

Each <Scatter> receives its own data array (unlike other chart types where data is on the chart container):

<ScatterChart>
  <XAxis data-key="x" type="number" />
  <YAxis data-key="y" type="number" />
  <Scatter name="Series A" :data="data01" fill="#8884d8" />
  <Scatter name="Series B" :data="data02" fill="#82ca9d" />
</ScatterChart>

Use <ZAxis> to map a third dimension to dot size:

<ZAxis data-key="z" :range="[60, 400]" />

Name the series in the tooltip

The default tooltip lists the axis values, as Recharts does, so only the color separates the series. Each row also carries the series name as seriesName, which you can show as a heading with label-formatter:

<Tooltip :label-formatter="(_, payload) => payload[0]?.seriesName" />

ScatterChart props

<ScatterChart> takes the chart container props. Its tooltip shows one point at a time.
