I’ve designed the chart type selection as a dropdown with visual menu items, where each option includes an SVG icon to help users quickly distinguish between chart types.

For the area chart, I’ve used the existing Codex icon (chart-graph), since it’s already available and aligns well with that representation.

For the other chart types (line, bar, and pie), the icons have already been designed by the Codex team, but they’re not yet available in the current release. I have the SVGs for these and have attached them here for use in the meantime.

Once these icons are included in Codex, we can switch over to the official versions from the library.
