## What it is
MathBox is a JavaScript library for rendering presentation-quality mathematical diagrams and graphs in the browser using WebGL, built on top of Three.js and ShaderGraph. It provides a declarative API for visualizing and animating mathematical relationships, suitable for interactive presentations and demos.

## Use cases
- render interactive 3D math graphs in the browser
- create animated mathematical visualizations for presentations
- visualize vector fields, quaternions, and volumetric data
- build WebGL-based educational math demos
- plot functions and geometric shapes with LaTeX labels
- make talk slides with live math diagrams

## When to choose
- you need presentation-quality, animated math diagrams in a web page
- you want declarative control over WebGL math visualizations without writing shaders
- you're building educational or conference content about mathematics

## When to avoid
- you need general-purpose business charting like bar or line charts
- you want a plotting tool with axes/ticks out of the box for data analysis
- you need a non-JavaScript or offline desktop plotting environment

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: data-visualization, graphics
- domain: data-visualization, mathematics, web-development, education
- platform: browser
- tags: webgl, threejs, math-graphing, presentation, animation, shaders, javascript, web
