## What it is
A JavaScript library for building pixel isometric graphics (bricks, cubes, pyramids, slopes) on HTML5 canvas. It renders at the pixel level following a strict 1:2 pixel pattern for precise isometric pixel art.

## Use cases
- draw isometric pixel art cubes and blocks in the browser
- render isometric voxel-style graphics with HTML5 canvas
- create pixel art game sprites in JavaScript
- visualize GitHub contribution charts as isometric pixel graphics
- build a voxel builder or isometric map generator in the browser

## When to choose
- you need true pixel-level isometric rendering rather than vector graphics
- you want lightweight canvas-based pixel art primitives in JavaScript
- you're building a browser game or visualization with an isometric pixel aesthetic

## When to avoid
- you need vector isometric graphics or 3D rendering
- you need a maintained library with active development
- you need GPU-accelerated or WebGL-based rendering

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: graphics, image-processing
- domain: graphics, web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: pixel-art, isometric, html5-canvas, 2-5d, rendering, game-development, nodejs, javascript
