Chart examples

Real renders of the area chart — each one is the same component with different property values, and the API payload below each preview reproduces it exactly.

Cumulative signups

Running total of signups — the filled area emphasizes accumulated growth.

  "sales.chartType": "area",
  "sales.data": [
    120,
    310,

Bandwidth usage report

Daily GB transferred for an infra status email, grid kept for readability.

When to use the area style

Cumulative signup or revenue visuals
Bandwidth and usage-over-time reports
Volume-weighted trend stories

Use it dynamically via the API

Feed fresh numbers via '<key>.data' (or '<key>.series' for multi-series), and swap '<key>.labels' or '<key>.chartType' per render.

Full API request with this variant's current values — the playground above sends only the properties you change

curl --location 'https://render.imejis.io/v1/{{YOUR_DESIGN_ID}}' \
--header 'dma-api-key: {{YOUR_API_KEY}}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "sales.chartType": "area",
    "sales.data": [
        12,
        28,
        20,
        34,
        26
    ],
    "sales.labels": [
        "Mon",
        "Tue",
        "Wed",
        "Thu",
        "Fri"

    "sales.colors": [],

    "sales.showGrid": true,
    "sales.showValues": false,
    "sales.valueFormat": "number",
    "sales.opacity": 1
}'

Only send the properties you want to change — everything else keeps its design value. See the API documentation for all languages.
