## What it is
Textures.js is a JavaScript library built on top of d3.js for generating SVG patterns such as lines, circles, and paths. It is designed for data visualization, allowing categories to be distinguished with textured fills.

## Use cases
- create svg patterns for data visualization
- add texture fills to d3 charts
- distinguish map regions with svg patterns
- generate line and circle patterns in svg
- make accessible categorical color-plus-texture encodings

## When to choose
- you are already using d3 and need pattern fills for charts or maps
- you want lightweight, MIT-licensed SVG texture generation in the browser

## When to avoid
- you need canvas or WebGL-based textures
- your project does not use SVG or d3-style selections

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: data-visualization, ui-components, graphics
- domain: data-visualization, frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: svg-patterns, d3, textures, dataviz, nodejs, javascript
