CANVAS · INFOGRAPHIC

Infographics

Turn lines, shapes, labels, and theme tokens into portable data graphics while keeping essential meaning in semantic content.

ACCESSIBLE BY DESIGN

Pixels plus a summary

The Canvas label names the image; nearby Dowe content preserves the underlying facts.

ADVANCED EXAMPLE

Build a chart from drawing primitives

This scene uses a shared baseline, aligned labels, rounded bars, and a legend marker. Command order keeps labels above the filled bars.

SOURCE

Keep chart geometry explicit

Canvas is useful when a semantic chart component cannot express the visual. For standard line, bar, area, pie, or arc charts, prefer the dedicated Dowe component.

DATA GRAPHICS

Choose Canvas when the composition is custom

Use Canvas

Custom diagrams, branded infographics, spatial maps, and target-neutral annotations.

Use a chart

Standard categorical or time-series graphics that benefit from built-in legends and empty states.

Always summarize

Repeat essential values as Text, Table, or controls outside the pixel surface.
