In plain English

XCharts is a data visualization library for Unity, written in C#. It lets developers add charts and graphs directly to Unity applications without needing image files or special shaders: everything is drawn through code using Unity's built-in UI system (UGUI). The library includes more than ten chart types out of the box, covering line charts, bar charts, pie charts, radar charts, scatter plots, heat maps, ring charts, K-line (candlestick) charts, polar coordinates, and parallel coordinates. A separate set of extension charts adds more complex visuals like 3D pie and bar charts, funnel charts, gauge dials, water-level indicators, Gantt charts, treemaps, Sankey diagrams, and relational graphs. Additional UI components include tables, stat counters, sliders, and progress bars. Configuration happens inside the Unity editor with real-time preview. Developers can adjust colors, labels, legends, tooltips, zoom regions, and visual mappings from the inspector panel, and can also change everything at runtime through code. The library handles large data sets, supporting around 20,000 data points per line chart with optional downsampling for smoother performance on slower machines. Themes, animations, and interaction behaviors are all included. Charts can fade in, respond to data filtering, allow view zooming, and show detail tooltips on hover. Multiple chart types can share a single component, and the library works with Unity's TextMeshPro text system and the newer Input System added in recent Unity versions. The core library uses an MIT license and is free for commercial use. Extension chart types and advanced UI components are available through a paid VIP or SVIP subscription. The library supports Unity 5.6 and above on all platforms that Unity targets. Demo examples live in a separate GitHub repository rather than this one.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1

Add a real-time line chart to my Unity UI using XCharts that updates with a new data point every second, shows 100 points at a time, and displays a tooltip on hover.

Prompt 2

Show me how to set up an XCharts pie chart in the Unity inspector with custom slice colors, percentage labels, and a click-to-filter legend.

Prompt 3

I have 15,000 data points for an XCharts line chart. Show me how to enable downsampling so it stays smooth on low-end mobile devices.

Prompt 4

Write a Unity C# script that creates an XCharts bar chart at runtime, populates it from a data array, and animates the bars fading in on scene start.

Prompt 5

How do I apply a custom color theme to all XCharts charts in my Unity project so they match my game's UI palette and use a specific font?
