## What it is
Gadfly is a statistical plotting and data visualization library for Julia, modeled on the Grammar of Graphics and ggplot2. It renders publication-quality graphics to SVG, PNG, Postscript, and PDF with tight DataFrames.jl integration and interactive features like panning and zooming.

## Use cases
- create statistical plots in Julia
- make ggplot2-style graphics in Julia
- render publication-quality figures to PDF or SVG
- visualize DataFrames data
- plot data in Jupyter or Pluto notebooks
- build interactive charts with zooming and panning

## When to choose
- you work in Julia and want a declarative, grammar-of-graphics plotting API
- you need publication-quality vector output (SVG, PDF, Postscript)
- your data lives in DataFrames.jl
- you use IJulia or Pluto notebooks

## When to avoid
- you need fast first-plot rendering (JIT compilation causes slow time-to-first-plot)
- you prefer imperative plotting like Matplotlib or Plots.jl backends
- you need highly interactive dashboards or web-native visualization
- you are not working in Julia
