Visualization engines
Sourcetable uses three visualization engines, each suited to different use cases:| Engine | Best for | Interactivity |
|---|---|---|
| SourceCharts | Common charts embedded in the spreadsheet (bar, line, donut, scatter, polar, combo) | Basic — hover tooltips, legend toggle |
| ECharts | Advanced charts with animations and rich interactivity (heatmaps, Sankey, tree maps, gauges) | High — zoom, pan, brush select, animations |
| Plotly | Statistical and scientific charts, pivot visualizations, 3D plots | High — zoom, pan, hover details, export |
Creating visualizations
With AI (recommended)
Open the AI chat (Cmd+\ / Ctrl+\) and describe the visualization:
- “Create a bar chart of revenue by quarter”
- “Show a heatmap of correlations between all numeric columns”
- “Build a Sankey diagram showing customer journey from signup to purchase”
- “Make a candlestick chart of AAPL stock price for the last 6 months”
From the toolbar
- Select your data range (including headers)
- Click Insert > Chart
- Choose a chart type
- Configure axes, series, colors, and labels in the chart editor
Modifying visualizations
After creating a chart, ask the AI to modify it:- “Change the colors to a warm palette”
- “Add data labels showing percentages”
- “Switch to a stacked bar chart”
- “Add a trend line”
- “Make the y-axis logarithmic”
