## What it is
A single-file, dependency-free JavaScript library and CLI that procedurally generates drawings of imaginary fish as polylines. It outputs SVG (including animated SMIL), JSON, and CSV, and is designed with pen-plotter art in mind.

## Use cases
- generate procedural fish artwork for a pen plotter
- create seeded, reproducible generative fish illustrations
- export polyline drawings as SVG, JSON, or CSV
- make animated SVG drawings of fish being drawn
- use a generative art library in a Node.js project without dependencies
- produce unique pseudo-Latin-named fish images from seed strings

## When to choose
- you want plotter-friendly polyline art generated procedurally
- you need a tiny, zero-dependency generative drawing tool
- you want seeded, deterministic artwork output in multiple formats

## When to avoid
- you need realistic or scientifically accurate fish illustrations
- you need raster image output like PNG or JPEG
- you need a actively developed tool with ongoing feature updates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: graphics, data-visualization, cli
- domain: graphics, developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: procedural-generation, generative-art, plotter-art, svg, fish-drawings, polylines, automation, nodejs
