Default
"name"
animationDuration?number

Duration of the entrance in milliseconds. Bars are staggered across 40% of this duration.

Default
1100
animationEasing?string

Accepted for bklit-ui compatibility. It has no effect in bklit-tanstack-charts. The entrance always uses the default reveal easing.

Inline styles for the chart container. Set aspectRatio: "unset" to let the chart fill the height of its parent.

barGap?number

Gap between bar groups as a fraction of the band width (0 to 1).

Default
0.2
barWidth?number

Accepted for bklit-ui compatibility. It has no effect in bklit-tanstack-charts. Bars always fill their band; use barGap to change their width.

squareSnap?{ squareGap: number; groupGap?: number; fit?: boolean }
