-# Temporary Holding Version
+# @meltemi/diagrams-canvas
 
-This version is a temporary placeholder for this package. An operational version to replace this has been submitted for review and is awaiting a staged release.
+The canvas: the browser application that draws a diagram beside its code and turns every gesture
+(move, resize, route, label, group, align, play) into a small edit of the text. It runs in a host
+that implements `CanvasHostApi`, such as the VS Code webview or the playground, and styles itself
+with `canvas.css`.
+
+It is part of [Meltemi Diagrams](https://github.com/askenaz-dev/meltemi-diagrams#readme), diagrams as code with a canvas, motion and
+exports. Every package of the product has the same version.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npm install @meltemi/diagrams-canvas
+```
+
+Node 22.12.0 or later. The package is an ES module with type declarations.
+
+## Use
+
+```js
+import { CanvasApp } from "@meltemi/diagrams-canvas";
+import { resolveLocale, setLocale } from "@meltemi/diagrams-i18n";
+import "@meltemi/diagrams-canvas/canvas.css";
+
+// The interface language, English or Spanish, is set before the canvas is created.
+const locale = resolveLocale(navigator.language);
+setLocale(locale);
+document.documentElement.lang = locale;
+// `host` posts canvas messages to the editor services and delivers their answers.
+const app = new CanvasApp(document.getElementById("canvas"), host);
+```
+
+The canvas speaks the interface language of `@meltemi/diagrams-i18n`: its toolbar, palette,
+menus, inspector controls, dialogs, announcements and story timeline. The words the host sends,
+such as field labels and statuses, are shown as they arrive. The page's `lang` lets the stylesheet
+make room for longer words.
+
+A host can make the canvas only show by sending `readOnly: true` in the settings of its `settings`
+message (`CanvasSettings`, in `@meltemi/diagrams-editor`); each `settings` message replaces the
+settings as a whole, so a later one without it makes the canvas edit again, with no reload. While
+it is on the canvas sends no message that changes the document, and selection, zoom, pan, the
+minimap, stories and effects keep working ([editor guide](https://github.com/askenaz-dev/meltemi-diagrams/blob/main/docs/editor.md)).
+A host that never sends it, such as the VS Code extension, sees no change.
+
+A host that shares the diagram can show who else is in it with `presence` messages (`HostMessage`,
+in `@meltemi/diagrams-editor`): the other people, each with a name, a colour and the ids they have
+selected. The canvas draws an outline in the person's colour around each of those and a tag with
+the name (always text, never markup) on a layer above the scene that is never selected, copied or
+exported and that nothing of is sent back. Each message replaces the last; a message with nobody,
+an empty canvas or another diagram clears it, and ids the diagram does not have are ignored.
+
+Popovers, menus, side panels, tooltips and target outlines open and close with short transitions
+on the motion tokens of `canvas.css` (`--mdg-motion-fast`, `--mdg-motion`, `--mdg-motion-slow`,
+`--mdg-ease`). When the system asks for reduced motion they are zero and nothing moves.
