## What it is
texgen.js is a JavaScript library for generating procedural textures in the browser. It composes operations like XOR patterns, sine waves, and noise into a texture that can be rendered to a canvas.

## Use cases
- generate procedural textures for web games
- create tileable patterns with noise and sine functions in JavaScript
- generate textures at runtime instead of loading image assets
- experiment with procedural texture generation in the browser
- create decorative background patterns for web pages

## When to choose
- you need lightweight, dependency-free procedural texture generation in JavaScript
- you want to generate textures at runtime in the browser or Node.js
- you prefer composable, code-driven texture creation over image editing tools

## When to avoid
- you need GPU-accelerated or shader-based texture generation
- you require advanced features like PBR material authoring or 3D painting
- you need a library with active development and recent releases

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: graphics, image-processing, developer-tools
- domain: graphics, web-development
- platform: browser
