## What it is
circlize is an R package for creating circular layout visualizations such as chord diagrams, circular heatmaps, and circos plots. It provides low-level graphics functions that let users build custom high-level circular figures for multi-dimensional data.

## Use cases
- draw chord diagrams in R
- create circos plots for genomic data
- make circular heatmaps
- visualize relationships between groups in a circular layout
- plot multi-dimensional data as a circular figure
- create custom circular visualizations with low-level graphics

## When to choose
- you need circular or chord-diagram plots in R
- you want fine-grained control over circular figure elements
- you work in bioinformatics and need circos-style plots

## When to avoid
- you need standard rectangular plots (use ggplot2)
- you need interactive web-based visualizations
- you work outside R

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: data-visualization, charts
- domain: data-visualization, bioinformatics, data-science
- platform: -
- tags: circular-layout, chord-diagram, r-package, graphics, genomics, r
