## What it is
RAWGraphs is an open-source web application for creating custom vector-based (SVG) data visualizations from tabular data, built on top of d3.js and RAWGraphs core. All data is processed client-side in the browser, and charts can be exported as vector or raster images for editing in tools like Illustrator or Inkscape.

## Use cases
- turn spreadsheet data into charts
- create svg visualizations from csv
- export charts as vector graphics for illustrator
- visualize data without uploading it to a server
- make data visualizations for design projects
- convert excel data into charts
- data journalism visualization tool

## When to choose
- you need editable vector (SVG) output for further design refinement
- you work with sensitive data and need fully client-side processing
- you want a free, open-source alternative for quick chart creation from tabular data
- you need a wide variety of visual models (~30 chart types) without coding

## When to avoid
- you need interactive, server-side or real-time dashboards
- you require fine typographic control (font size/family) within the tool itself
- you need programmatic chart generation from code rather than a GUI workflow

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: data-visualization, charts, web-framework
- domain: data-visualization, web-development, web-design
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: svg, d3js, vector-graphics, data-journalism, privacy-friendly, client-side, react, export, web-server, nodejs
