Ocean Bullet Chart

Stephen Few's replacement for the gauge — a measure bar over banded qualitative ranges with a target tick, carrying in one row what a dial needs a whole tile for.

What do I do with this?

  1. Put ocean-bullet-chart-14023.css anywhere your page already loads CSS from — in Next.js that is app/globals.css, or any stylesheet with a <link> in your HTML.
  2. Then put the class on the element you want it on: <button class="fx-v10-chart-bullet-ocean-14022">. The CSS does nothing until a class name in it matches something on the page.
  • Link the stylesheet, then paste the markup wherever you need it.
npx hoverlab add ocean-bullet-chart-14023

License

Free to read, copy and install, for personal and non-commercial projects. Shipping it in client work or a paid product needs Pro ($79 once). The source lands in your repo and stops being ours — no attribution, nothing to upgrade.

Was this useful?

Motion safety

Static estimate, read from the CSS

Reduced motion
Brief motion, no guard

Animates briefly or on interaction. Only looping motion gets a guard in this catalog; copy the one from the Insights tab if this ships on a critical path.

What it animates
Reflows

Animates width. The browser re-lays-out the page on every frame; prefer transform if you can.

Flashing (WCAG 2.3.1)
No flashing found

No repeating change in opacity, colour or brightness large enough to count as a flash.

Layout shift (CLS)
May shift layout

Animates width on a box in flow, so content beside or after it can move. A category from the CSS, not a measurement for this effect.

Every row is read from the shipped CSS. Only a figure marked measured came from a browser. Customizing the speed changes the timing, so recheck a customized copy. How it is computed

All of them free to read, copy and install — no account, no locked tiles, no watermarked preview. The whole catalog is open, and so are the API and the CLI.
