Flint 1.0: Interactivity

Flint 1.0: the language for interactive data visualizations

In this release, Flint makes interactions easy to specify: from linked brushing and annotations to semantic zoom and coordinated chart–table views. Start with ready-made presets or build custom behaviors using data-level events and update operators. You describe the interaction; Flint handles the low-level wiring.

Interaction support is now available in both the MCP server and the npm library!
Explore the interaction presets, try the custom interaction demos, or dive into the interaction API to build your own.
