## What it is
Plottable is a TypeScript library of modular chart components built on top of D3.js, providing higher-level building blocks like plots, axes, gridlines, and legends. It follows a 'composition over configuration' philosophy, letting developers assemble flexible custom charts from composable Components arranged in Tables and Groups.

## Use cases
- build custom interactive charts for websites
- create line, area, and bar plots without writing raw D3
- compose reusable chart components with axes and gridlines
- add flexible data visualizations to a web app
- extend charts with custom D3-based components

## When to choose
- you need D3-level flexibility but want higher-level chart components
- you want to compose custom charts from modular pieces rather than configure templates
- your team works in TypeScript and wants typed chart APIs

## When to avoid
- you just need quick standard charts from templates with minimal code
- you need a framework-agnostic React/Vue chart component set
- you need active feature development - the project is in maintenance mode

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: data-visualization, charts
- domain: data-visualization, frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: d3, chart-components, svg, composition-over-configuration, plots, nodejs, javascript, typescript
