Small multiples in htmx

One chart per category, on a shared scale

multiples: col

This draws one small chart per category on a shared scale, laid out as a grid of charts. It lets you compare many groups at once without overlaying them, so each category reads on its own but against the same yardstick.

Building…

Loading a live grid…

This is the htmx version. A server-rendered table is upgraded in place, so the page is readable before any script runs and gains the full grid when the module loads, which suits a progressively enhanced app.

The configuration

<div id="chart" style="height: 300px"></div>
<!-- A real, server-rendered table: readable with JavaScript off. data-field on
     each header names the column that cell becomes, and data-id on each row is
     the key the grid carries it under. -->
