A Node.js library for drawing in the terminal using Unicode braille characters, providing a minimal Canvas-like API (set, unset, toggle, clear, frame). It is the basis for terminal charting tools like vtop.
Use cases
- draw charts in the terminal
- render graphs with unicode braille characters
- plot real-time metrics in a CLI
- draw animated graphics in the terminal
- build terminal dashboards with custom rendering
When to choose
- you need pixel-level terminal drawing with high braille resolution
- you want a minimal canvas API to build your own terminal charts or animations
- you're building a Node.js CLI tool that renders graphs or waveforms
When to avoid
- you need higher-level drawing primitives like lines or shapes out of the box
- you want an HTML5 Canvas-compatible API (use drawille-canvas instead)
- your project is not JavaScript/Node.js
