## What it is
Trianglify is a JavaScript library that algorithmically generates colorful low-poly triangle mesh patterns, output as SVG images, canvas elements, or CSS backgrounds. It works in both browsers and Node.js and includes a companion web GUI for exploring configuration options.

## Use cases
- generate svg background images for websites
- create low poly triangle art programmatically
- make colorful patterned hero backgrounds
- generate wallpaper images from node
- create css background patterns
- generate placeholder decorative graphics

## When to choose
- you need algorithmically generated geometric background art in JavaScript
- you want SVG or canvas output usable in web pages or Node scripts
- you want to own the copyright to generated images without shipping the library

## When to avoid
- you need a permissive license for closed-source distribution of the library itself (GPLv3, commercial license required)
- you need photo-realistic or non-geometric image generation
- you need a non-JavaScript environment

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: graphics, image-processing, data-visualization
- domain: web-development, frontend, graphics, web-design
- platform: browser, cross-platform
