# Line Draws with Riding Label — effect skill for numbers & charts

> **For AI agents:** find the right skill in one call — `curl -s "https://varg.ai/how-to/api/search?q=<what the person wants>"` returns the matching how-to page and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://varg.ai/how-to/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add `.md` to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the how-to page.

A line draws itself left to right while the current value rides the pen tip, ending on a dot and big label.

## What it does

Built on [Minimal Line Graph](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/tree/main/registry/blocks/mk-line-graph) by HeyGen (HyperFrames), Apache-2.0. The write-up and recipes below are varg's.

One or two series on a quiet grid; the draw front has a glowing dot; value labels pop at key points.

**When:** Growth over time, usage curves, "hockey stick" moments.

**Watch out:** Do not draw both series at once if one is the point; draw the comparison first, faded, then the hero line.

**Timing:** Draw 1.2–2 s power1.inOut; end dot pop 0.2 s; hold 1.5 s.

**Also called:** line chart, growth curve, trend line

### In HyperFrames

```bash
npx hyperframes add mk-line-graph
```
Or `data-chart` for bar + line with NYT-style labels.

### In Remotion

```tsx
// npx shadcn@latest add @remocn/animated-line-chart
const p = interpolate(frame,[0,54],[0,1],{extrapolateRight:'clamp',easing:Easing.inOut(Easing.sin)});
<path strokeDasharray={len} strokeDashoffset={len*(1-p)}/>
```

### In CapCut

Export the chart as a PNG; Mask → Linear keyframed left to right to reveal the line; add a dot sticker following the edge.

### Ready-made components
