## What it is
A Kotlin library for Android that lets developers create drawables (shape, rotate, scale, ripple, layer-list, flip) programmatically via a fluent DrawableBuilder API. It eliminates the need for repetitive drawable.xml resource files.

## Use cases
- create android drawables in kotlin code
- replace drawable.xml files with programmatic drawables
- build shape drawables with pressed and ripple states
- create rounded rectangle backgrounds programmatically
- build layer-list and state-list drawables in code

## When to choose
- you want to define drawables in Kotlin/Java code instead of XML resources
- you need many similar drawables with slight variations and want to reduce XML boilerplate
- you want state-based colors and ripple effects in a single builder call

## When to avoid
- your project relies primarily on XML resource-based styling and designers hand off drawable XML files
- you need drawable types not supported by the library, such as vector or animation drawables
- you need a library with recent updates or active maintenance

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, graphics
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, frontend
- platform: jvm
- tags: android-drawables, drawable-builder, kotlin-library, shape-drawable, state-list-drawable, programmatic-ui, android
