Orgchart Node

When to use Org Chart Node

Use Org Chart Node to represent one entity in a print-first ownership/hierarchy diagram — an absolutely-positioned content box on a fixed 1056×816px canvas (US Letter landscape). This is not a web-fluid layout component; every node renders at a fixed pixel position, matching how these diagrams are actually produced and printed for regulatory/investor-relations use.

Shape families

Variant	Use for	Shape
Rectangle	Standard operating/holding entity	Solid border, one of 5 role colors
Rectangle — tall	Board-level or managing entity	145px height
Rectangle — short	Asset or subsidiary entity	80px height
Rectangle — compact	Dense-layout variant	160×60px
Pill	Fund vehicle / limited partnership	Always dashed border, 250px wide, fully rounded
Ellipse	Cross-border flow-through entity	Dashed/dotted border, rounded

Entity-role colors

6 role colors are wired today (green/blue/purple/orange/grey/yellow) from the registry's 9-role primitive.color.orgchart.* palette — see Tokens and the Org Charts product page for the real Carbon-token gap analysis behind this color set. The remaining 3 reserved roles are not yet wired into a node variant.

Anatomy

• Title — entity name, 12px bold.
• Alias (optional) — italic secondary line, e.g. a trade name.
• Node number — bottom-of-box reference number tying the node to a supporting schedule.

Behaviour

Print-first, static component — no interaction states, no motion. Each node carries role="group" with aria-label naming the entity and its node number; the SVG connector layer between nodes is pointer-events: none and needs no ARIA annotation of its own.

Open questions

Whether the short-radius and rounded administrative-entity variants should consolidate into one modifier, or stay distinct for different subcategories — not yet decided.
