 ## Why ApexCharts
 
-- **17+ chart types** out of the box: line, area, bar, column, pie, donut, radar, heatmap, treemap, candlestick, boxplot, violin, funnel, pyramid, gauge and more
+- **18+ chart types** out of the box: line, area, bar, column, pie, donut, radar, heatmap, treemap, candlestick, boxplot, violin, funnel, pyramid, gauge, unit (dot / pictogram / waffle / beeswarm) and more
 - **SSR support** for Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Astro, and other meta-frameworks: render real SVG on the server, hydrate on the client
 - **Tree-shakable**: import only the chart types and features you need; typical bundles are 30-60% smaller than the full build
 - **TypeScript-first**: full type definitions ship with the package, no `@types/*` install needed
