Intro to LayerChart

on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

A composable chart library built on D3 and Layer Cake that ships primitives, data-driven components, interactions and geo/layout tools and powers multiple healthcare analytics apps; it supports mix SVG HTML Canvas WebGL layers, components that detect rendering context to pick the right API, and example-driven docs with copyable code, themes, and live playgrounds. Usage notes: SVG by default for ease, fall back to Canvas or WebGL for performance, and examples show spline tweening, sparklines, tooltips and clipping working end-to-end.
