Vx
vx is a declarative charting framework and SVG data visualization library. It serves as an integration layer that combines D3 mathematical scales and shapes with a component-based UI for rendering visualizations.
The project provides a set of building blocks for constructing custom charts and diagrams using React components. It bridges mathematical data and visual representation by utilizing low-level primitives to manage scalable vector graphics without manual document object model manipulations.
The library covers a broad capability surface including custom chart development, declarative SVG rendering, and the creation of interactive data dashboards.
Features
