Datoviz is a relatively low-level visualization library. It focuses on rendering visual primitives like points, lines, images, and meshes — efficiently and interactively.
Unlike libraries such as Matplotlib, Datoviz does not provide high-level plotting functions like plt.plot(), plt.scatter(), or plt.imshow(). Its goal is not to replace plotting libraries, but to serve as a powerful rendering backend for scientific graphics.
