VolatilitySurfaceChart

Read a market, a risk or a return, with the axis and the tooltip wired for the job.

What it shows

Show a supplied two-dimensional grid of implied volatility across strike and maturity as an orthographic surface.

Live preview

A supplied grid of ratios, drawn as a projected surface — no 3D engine, and nothing is interpolated between nodes.

<VolatilitySurfaceChart
  strikes={[90, 95, 100, 105, 110]}
  maturities={[0.25, 0.5, 1, 2]}
  vols={[
    [0.241, 0.204, 0.186, 0.192, 0.218],
    [0.231, 0.199, 0.183, 0.19, 0.211],
    [0.224, 0.196, 0.181, 0.189, 0.207],
    [0.216, 0.192, 0.179, 0.187, 0.202],
  ]}
  strikeLabel="Strike"
  maturityLabel="Maturity (years)"
  height={380}
  ariaLabel="Volatility surface"
/>

Controls

Height

380px

A chart measures its container, so it always needs a definite height.

State

The surface the chart is in — loading, empty and error are drawn by the component.

Accessible name

A drawing is not readable by a screen reader, so it needs a name that states what it shows.

The same fixture as the live preview above; the controls change how it is drawn, not what it measures.

Code

import { VolatilitySurfaceChart } from "@luc/ui/charts";

<VolatilitySurfaceChart
  strikes={[90, 95, 100, 105, 110]}
  maturities={[0.25, 0.5, 1, 2]}
  vols={[
    [0.241, 0.204, 0.186, 0.192, 0.218],
    [0.231, 0.199, 0.183, 0.19, 0.211],
    [0.224, 0.196, 0.181, 0.189, 0.207],
    [0.216, 0.192, 0.179, 0.187, 0.202],
  ]}
  strikeLabel="Strike"
  maturityLabel="Maturity (years)"
  height={380}
  ariaLabel="Volatility surface"
  state="ready"
/>

Copy for an AI agentA specification an agent can act on: the import, the setup, the chosen props, the data contract and the accessibility expectation.

Implement `VolatilitySurfaceChart` from Luc UI. It is: Read a market, a risk or a return, with the axis and the tooltip wired for the job.

Import it with: import { VolatilitySurfaceChart } from "@luc/ui/charts";
Requires: react ^19.0.0; react-dom ^19.0.0; react-hook-form ^7.0.0 (optional, for @luc/ui/forms/react-hook-form); tailwindcss ^4.0.0; node >= 22 (repository tools). Import the stylesheet once at the app root and wrap the tree in `LucProvider`. Both come from the package that publishes @luc.

Chosen configuration: `height={380}`, `state="ready"`, `ariaLabel="Volatility surface"`.

Accessibility: keep the component's own semantics. Do not re-implement its ARIA wiring, do not add roles it does not declare, and make sure every interactive element is reachable and operable from the keyboard with a visible focus state.
Styling: use Luc UI design tokens and the component's own props. Do not restyle with raw colour literals and do not override the component's internal structure with page CSS.
Motion: respect `prefers-reduced-motion`. The component already does, so do not disable it.

Reproduce this state:
```tsx
<VolatilitySurfaceChart
  strikes={[90, 95, 100, 105, 110]}
  maturities={[0.25, 0.5, 1, 2]}
  vols={[
    [0.241, 0.204, 0.186, 0.192, 0.218],
    [0.231, 0.199, 0.183, 0.19, 0.211],
    [0.224, 0.196, 0.181, 0.189, 0.207],
    [0.216, 0.192, 0.179, 0.187, 0.202],
  ]}
  strikeLabel="Strike"
  maturityLabel="Maturity (years)"
  height={380}
  ariaLabel="Volatility surface"
  state="ready"
/>
```

Usage

The values are prepared by the caller: this component draws the points it is given and computes no statistic of its own, so units, scaling and any summary have to be settled before the data reaches it.

It is drawn by an ECharts custom series whose geometry the library computes, without WebGL.

Worked examples with real data are on the family overview: Financial & quantitative

import { VolatilitySurfaceChart } from "@luc/ui/charts";

<VolatilitySurfaceChart
  strikes={[90, 95, 100, 105, 110]}
  maturities={[0.25, 0.5, 1, 2]}
  vols={[
    [0.241, 0.204, 0.186, 0.192, 0.218],
    [0.231, 0.199, 0.183, 0.19, 0.211],
    [0.224, 0.196, 0.181, 0.189, 0.207],
    [0.216, 0.192, 0.179, 0.187, 0.202],
  ]}
  strikeLabel="Strike"
  maturityLabel="Maturity (years)"
  height={380}
  ariaLabel="Volatility surface"
/>

Data contract

`strikes` and `maturities` define the grid; `vols[maturity][strike]` is the full numeric matrix of ratios. The caller must provide a complete grid; the chart does not interpolate holes.

Important configuration

Label all three axes with `strikeLabel`, `maturityLabel` and the value format, and keep the grid orientation consistent between runs.

Guidelines

When not to use

Do not claim a fitted surface or fill a sparse quote matrix by interpolation in the chart; a missing cell is an absent observation.
