# Effect Scatter chart in Figma

> A scatter plot with animated ripples

Effect Scatter is ECharts’ animated scatter: selected points pulse with a ripple, which draws the eye without a callout. In a static Figma frame the animation is lost, so its value here is the emphasised styling rather than the motion.

These are the real charting libraries running inside the plugin, not redrawn lookalikes. The effect scatter 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

- Highlighting a few points among many — new locations, alerts, anomalies.
- A dashboard mock where certain markers should read as "live".

## Use something else when

- Most points need emphasis — if everything ripples, nothing does.
- You are exporting a still and expecting the animation to survive.

## The data it needs

The same X/Y table a scatter takes; emphasis is a style setting.
