## What it is
A lightweight React library for embedding editable vector graphics canvases in web apps. It supports drawing and manipulating shapes, paths with bezier curves, and text via pure React components with built-in scale, rotate, drag, and arrange actions.

## Use cases
- embed an editable svg drawing canvas in a react app
- let users draw and edit vector shapes in the browser
- build a simple design tool with drag, rotate, and scale
- create editable polygon and bezier path editors
- add a lightweight vector graphics editor to a react component

## When to choose
- you need a small, easy-to-configure vector editing canvas inside React
- you want customizable object types and panels for a drawing UI
- you prefer pure React components over a heavy standalone editor

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured design suite like Figma or Illustrator
- you are not using React
- you need raster image editing rather than vector graphics

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, graphics, image-processing
- domain: frontend, web-development, graphics
