## What it is
CeTZ is a drawing library for the Typst typesetting system with an API inspired by TikZ and Processing. It enables programmatic creation of diagrams, scientific figures, and plots directly in Typst documents.

## Use cases
- draw diagrams in typst documents
- create scientific figures with typst
- tikz-like drawing for typst
- plot charts in typst
- draw geometric constructions programmatically
- make venn diagrams in typst

## When to choose
- you write documents in Typst and need custom diagrams or figures
- you want TikZ-style programmatic drawing without LaTeX
- you need reproducible, code-generated scientific illustrations

## When to avoid
- you need drawing outside of Typst documents
- you require a full vector graphics editor with a GUI
- your project is based on LaTeX rather than Typst

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: graphics, data-visualization, charts
- domain: graphics, documentation, data-visualization
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: typst, tikz-inspired, diagrams, drawing, scientific-figures
