SVG axis labels previously had to be layered onto both the live chart and its export. Add SVG content and dimensions to tick labels and axis titles so the chart scene owns them and exports include them automatically.

Automatic margins, rotation, offsets, and thinning use the SVG dimensions. Canvas and React Native keep the text fallback.

Share axis setup, scale inference, label measurement, and SVG serialization to keep every existing size cap passing. All locked bundles are smaller in both minified and gzip output, and their snapshots record the reductions.

Validation completed in this checkout

  • 885 core and bundle-tooling tests pass
  • TypeScript passes
  • Bundle size policy passes
  • Chromium verifies chart-owned SVG labels in SVG and PNG exports
  • Generated docs synchronized and formatting checked

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a sales conversion funnel chart example with five ordered stages, responsive layouts, and direct labels.
    • Added support for SVG images as axis tick labels and titles in rendered charts and SVG/PNG exports.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance on SVG axis labels and when to use funnel charts for stage retention.
    • Expanded the chart catalog and conformance coverage with the sales conversion funnel.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved axis layout to account for SVG label dimensions.

Walkthrough

The PR adds SVG content and dimensions to axis tick labels and titles, updates shared axis layout and SVG serialization, and adds a five-stage sales funnel conformance case with two renderers, catalog coverage, and documentation.

Changes: SVG Axis Labels

Layer / File(s) Summary
Axis label data and measurement
packages/charts-core/src/types.ts, packages/charts-core/src/label-box.ts, packages/charts-core/src/guide-layout.ts, packages/charts-core/src/hierarchy-treemap.ts
Axis tick labels and titles can carry SVG documents and dimensions. Shared helpers measure SVG and text labels; treemap label fitting uses text-only bounds.
Axis scene and domain handling
packages/charts-core/src/scene.ts, packages/charts-core/src/scale-input.ts
Axis setup and tick-label construction use shared x/y loops. SVG content contributes to scene labels and margin measurement. Domain inference shares bound calculation for temporal and quantitative values.
SVG rendering and serialization
packages/charts-core/src/svg-renderer.ts, packages/charts-core/src/svg.ts, packages/charts-core/src/export.test.ts, packages/charts-core/docs/guides/exporting.md, docs/guides/exporting.md, .changeset/svg-axis-labels.md, API-FRICTION.md, benchmarks/bundle-size/universal-baseline.json, scripts/measure-bundles.mjs
SVG labels render as images with encoded sources and title text. Tests cover label bounds and SVG serialization. The exporting guides describe the options; the changeset, API record, and bundle-size baselines are updated.

Sales Funnel Conformance Case

Layer / File(s) Summary
Funnel data and layout
benchmarks/conformance/cases/120-sales-funnel/case.json, data.ts, model.ts, model.test.ts
The case defines two sets of five stage values and derives centered boundaries, label positions, and domains. Tests check point count and adjacent-stage boundaries.
TanStack and Observable Plot renderers
benchmarks/conformance/cases/120-sales-funnel/tanstack.ts, plot.ts
Both implementations render stage areas and labels using the shared layout. They hide axes and adjust label size for preview mode and narrow widths.
Catalog, preview, and documentation coverage
benchmarks/conformance/catalog-index.json, definition-coverage-roadmap.json, definition-coverage-roadmap.test.ts, DEFINITION-COVERAGE-AUDIT.md, DEFINITION-COVERAGE-OVERVIEW.md, README.md, previews/manifest.json, docs/config.json, docs/examples/stacked-and-composition.md, docs/comparison.md, docs/llms.txt, scripts/catalog-preview.mjs
The funnel is added to the catalog, roadmap, preview manifest, and chart navigation. Conformance totals and tests are updated, and composition guidance now describes funnels.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 7fc80

A catalog preview test will fail until its expected case list includes the new funnel. Shared outer axes with SVG-only tick labels may also have margins that are too small. Fix both before merging.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Include SVG-only labels in guide margins.

For shared outer axes, an SVG-only tick label can grow between the initial guide scene and the outer layout. resolveGuideMargins skips that label, so the initial margin can be too small and the label can be clipped.

Suggested fix

-    if (!label.text) return
+    if (!label.text && !label.svg) return
