primaviz:0.4.1

[phiat]

Thanks to @dayala1 for the detailed feedback that prompted the 0.2.0 release and improvements since.

Summary

Pure-Typst charting library with 50+ chart types, 6 themes, and zero dependencies. Built entirely with native Typst primitives (rect, circle, line, polygon, place).

Changes since 0.1.1 (last published version)

0.4.1 — Patch release

• Updated demo and showcase screenshots reflecting all 0.4.0 visual changes
• Version string updates across all files

0.4.0 — Color system, primitives upgrade, layout fixes

• 10 named color palettes: viridis, heat, blues, greens, reds, purples, inferno, plasma, coolwarm, spectral (+ grayscale)
• Custom palette arrays: pass any array of colors as a palette to heatmap/calendar-heatmap
• N-stop continuous interpolation: smooth gradients replacing 4-segment piecewise (eliminates banding)
• Palette reversal: reverse: true param or "-r" suffix (e.g., "viridis-r")
• Gradient legend primitive: reusable draw-gradient-legend for color-mapped charts
• Axis tick marks (show-ticks) and minor grid lines (show-minor-grid)
• Subtitle param on chart containers and titles
• Rounded corners (radius) on chart containers
• Bubble size legend: reference circles with perceptual area scaling
• Waterfall color key and Gantt group legend support
• Legend title support on all legend functions
• Configurable side-legend width in chart containers
• Layout fixes: size legend, radar legend, x-axis label positioning

0.3.0 — Data consolidation, label improvements

• 5 themed demo datasets: sales, codebase, league, rpg, words (loaded from JSON)
• JSON data loaders: load-simple, load-series, load-scatter, load-bubble, load-hierarchy
• Smart label placement: try-fit-label shrinks fonts before hiding, greedy-deconflict resolves overlapping labels
• CLI converter: scripts/convert-data.py for JSON-to-chart-format conversion
• Utility functions: sort-data, top-n, aggregate, percent-of-total
• page-grid layout helper for multi-chart pages
• Improved funnel, bubble, treemap, sunburst, and pie label rendering
• Waffle right-side legend, bullet axis labels, sunburst background pills

0.2.0 — Major architecture overhaul, theme system, 11 new chart types

• 11 new chart types: waffle, bump, dumbbell, radial-bar, sunburst, metric-card, violin, timeline, parliament, chord, word-cloud (bringing total to 50+)
• multi-bubble-chart: multi-series bubble plot
• with-theme(): document-wide theme defaults via show rule or block wrapper
• Spiral word cloud: Wordle-style placement with collision detection + shape masks (circle, diamond, triangle)
• Refactored theme system: override dicts, simplified presets, 6 named themes
• Shared primitives extraction: cartesian-layout(), draw-legend-auto(), polar primitives, layout utilities (density-skip, font-for-space)
• cartesian-layout() helper: migrated 18 chart functions to consistent axis padding
• draw-legend-auto(): consolidated legend routing across 12 charts
• Extracted polar primitives: shared module for 6 radial chart types
• Label alignment overhaul: replaced hardcoded offsets with Typst alignment primitives across all charts
• 19 per-chart demos for easy reference
• Modularized test suite: 17 focused test modules
• 30+ visual bug fixes: legend clipping, axis overlap, dark-theme contrast, Y-tick positioning, histogram box clipping, diverging/correlation/bump/gantt axis labels, funnel label overflow, calendar-heatmap empty-day borders
• Container polish: background padding, title margins, dark-theme contrast
• README improvements: package imports, language-tagged code blocks, with-theme() docs
• Optimized screenshot PNGs (1.8MB → 700K)

Checklist

• Package compiles with typst compile
• typst.toml uses compiler field (>= 0.12.0)
• MIT license included
• No external dependencies
• README has language-tagged code blocks
