Does this skill support Canvas rendering?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for high-performance Canvas rendering, including device pixel ratio scaling for crisp visuals on all screens.

Is Layer Cake compatible with SvelteKit?

Yes, the framework and this skill's patterns are fully compatible with SvelteKit, supporting both SSR and client-side hydration.

Layer Cake is a headless framework for Svelte that manages scales and coordinate systems for data visualization while remaining agnostic about the rendering method.

Can I mix SVG and HTML in the same chart?

Absolutely. Layer Cake allows you to use SVG for axes/marks, HTML for tooltips, and Canvas for high-volume data, all sharing the same coordinate system.

How does it handle data transformations?

It includes guidance on utility functions like stack, bin, and groupLonger to prepare your data for complex visualization types like histograms and stacked area charts.
