+# Charts
+
+Chart.js comes with built-in chart types:
+* [line](./line.md)
+* [bar](./bar.md)
+* [radar](./radar.md)
+* [doughnut and pie](./doughnut.md)
+* [polar area](./polar.md)
+* [bubble](./bubble.md)
+* [scatter](./scatter.md)
+
+[Area charts](area.md) can be built from a line or radar chart using the dataset `fill` option.
+
+To create a new chart type, see the [developer notes](../developers/charts.md#new-charts).
