Efficient Rendering of SVG Arrows: Optimizing Graphs with Hundreds of Nodes
summary
A custom dependency-free SVG arrow-rendering library built for an internal graph service, with built-in optimizations. Covers why off-the-shelf solutions were unsuitable, a refresher on constructing Bézier curves, and specific optimizations applied so graphs with hundreds of nodes/edges render efficiently without overloading devices.
