# Custom chart in Figma

> ECharts’ escape hatch for shapes nothing else covers

ECharts’ custom series lets a chart define its own render function, which is how it draws profiles, arcs, gauges and diagrams that have no named series type. In FigmaCharts these arrive as ready-made examples you edit rather than as a blank canvas.

## Available in 1 of 5 chart libraries

| Library | Ready-made examples |
| --- | --- |
| ECharts | 11 |

11 examples in total.

These are the real charting libraries running inside the plugin, not redrawn lookalikes. The custom chart on your canvas is the library's own output, and the Export tab hands developers that same library's configuration plus React, Vue, Angular or Svelte code — so what you design is what gets built.

## Reach for it when

- The shape you need genuinely is not one of the other forty-four types.
- You want to start from a worked example of an unusual visualisation.

## Use something else when

- A named type would do — you lose the configuration panel’s targeted controls.
- You need it outside ECharts; custom renderers do not transfer.

## The data it needs

Whatever the individual example expects — each one differs.
