# Charts in views

Charts can be embedded within conventional views using the Chart component or the `vdl-chart` tag . Chart data can originate as static, scripted data, or it can be retrieved from model entities.
The range of supported chart types is:

- Bar
- Stacked Bar
- Line
- Scatter
- Pie

This section provides an overview of Charts along with the `vdl-chart` and its related markup. For more, see the VDL 5.8 Reference.
