Figma Scatter Charts

Scatter charts, or scatter plots, are a type of data visualization used to display the relationship between multiple numerical variables. Each chart point has its own volume/size and color-coded category.

Scatter Charts UI Best Practices

  • Only display up to 2-3 different data series per chart. Too many points and colors make the correlation patterns impossible to spot;

  • Use distinct colors to visually separate data categories and groups;

  • Use consistent scaling and opacity levels to highlight crucial points on the charts to improve readability.

The scatter chart plots points for two numerical variables with per-point size and colour-coded categories, limited to a few series so correlation patterns stay readable.

Scatter Chart AI Prompt

Paste this into Claude, ChatGPT, or Figma Make:

Build a scatter chart component in Figma as one set. Plot area: a square or wide frame with light gridlines, a numeric X axis with five labels and a Y axis with five labels, axis titles and an optional trend line drawn as a dashed diagonal. Points: a dot component in Small, Medium and Large sizes so volume can be shown by size, with a Category property of three colours from the chart palette and an Opacity option at 100, 70 and 40 percent for overlapping clusters, plus Default and Hover states where hover enlarges the dot and shows a tooltip with the X and Y values. Series: a Series property of one, two or three categories, each with a legend entry of a coloured dot and a name. Sizes: Small, Medium and Large chart frames. Build a bubble variant where point size encodes a third value, and a dashboard example card titled Price versus rating with two series and the trend line. Keep points as instances scattered inside an auto-layout-free plot frame so they can be positioned freely, and bind colours to the chart variables.
