 ## Why Prism?
 
-Charting libraries typically require a framework binding, bundle heavy dependencies, or force canvas rendering that can't be styled with CSS. Prism takes a different approach:
+Prism renders charts as SVG in a host element and keeps application state outside the chart. You can replace chart data explicitly, respond to container resizing, and style the output with CSS custom properties.
 
 ```ts
-// Before: Chart.js, imperative setup with a canvas you can't CSS-theme
-import Chart from 'chart.js/auto';
-const ctx = document.getElementById('myChart') as HTMLCanvasElement;
-new Chart(ctx, {
-  type: 'line',
-  data: { labels, datasets: [{ data: values }] },
-  // re-create or mutate the Chart.js instance when data changes
-});
-
-// After: Prism, responsive SVG with an explicit update boundary

 ## Features
 
-- **`createLineChart(container, config)`**: line chart with linear, monotone, or step interpolation
-- **`createBarChart(container, config)`**: bar chart with four layout variants: grouped, stacked, grouped-horizontal, stacked-horizontal
-- **`createAreaChart(container, config)`**: filled area with a gradient or solid fill
-- **`createPieChart(container, config)`**: pie, donut, or semi-circle donut chart; labels that do not fit their slice are hidden
-- **`createRadarChart(container, config)`**: radar chart for comparing values across 3+ axes, with per-axis ranges
-- **`createSparkline(container, config)`**: minimal inline line, area, bar, or stack chart
-- **`linearScale`, `timeScale`, `bandScale`**: standalone scales with nice tick generation
-- **`ChartHandle.update(data)`**: replace chart data synchronously without coupling to a state library
-- **`setTheme(theme, { scope })` / `resetTheme({ scope })`**: apply or clear colors, font, grid, axis, text, and tooltip tokens globally or on one subtree at runtime
-- **Axes on by default**: line, area, and bar charts render both axes with gridlines on the value axis; `xAxis: false` / `yAxis: false` opt out
-- **Animations on by default**: every chart animates entry and updates through one rAF loop, honors reduced motion, and opts out with `transition: false`
-- **Series comparison**: hover or keyboard focus reports every series at the active key in the tooltip, `onHover`, and screen-reader announcements
-- **Keyboard navigation**: arrow keys, `Enter`, and `Escape` on every labelled chart except sparklines
-- **CSS custom properties**: full theme control via `--prism-*` tokens, with dark mode built in
-- **Responsive**: auto-resizes via `ResizeObserver`
-- **`ChartHandle.tap()`**: observe resize and dispose events outside the render path, with zero cost when untapped
-- **`Symbol.dispose`**: explicit resource management following the TC39 proposal
+- **`createLineChart()` / `createAreaChart()`**: plot continuous numeric or date-keyed series
+- **`createBarChart()`**: compare categories with grouped, stacked, or horizontal bars
+- **`createScatterChart()`**: plot independent numeric `(x, y)` points
+- **`createPieChart()`**: render pie, donut, or semi-circle slices
+- **`createRadarChart()`**: compare series across fixed, labelled axes
+- **`createSparkline()`**: render compact line, area, bar, or stacked values without axes
+- **`ChartHandle.update(data)`**: replace chart data without handing state ownership to Prism
+- **`ChartHandle.dispose()` / `Symbol.dispose`**: release the SVG, observer, overlays, and chart-owned animation
+- **`ChartHandle.tap()`**: observe resize and disposal events
+- **`setTheme()` / `resetTheme()`**: set supported palette, typography, axis, grid, and tooltip tokens globally or on one element
+- **CSS custom properties**: style the chart palette, marks, axes, labels, tooltip, legend, and motion
+- **Resize observation**: recalculate SVG layout when the host element changes size
+- **Accessible interaction**: labelled interactive charts expose keyboard navigation and polite value announcements; sparklines are pointer-only without value announcements

 ### API Reference
 
 ## API Overview
 
+All chart factories, scale utilities, theme helpers, and error classes are synchronous. Charts render into an HTML element and return a `ChartHandle`; they do not return a promise.
+
 | Symbol | Purpose | Execution mode | Common gotcha |
 | --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| `createLineChart()` | Render a line chart | Sync | Line keys must be numbers or dates |
-| `createAreaChart()` | Render an area chart | Sync | Line keys must be numbers or dates |
-| `createBarChart()` | Render grouped or stacked bars | Sync | Stacked negative values are clamped to zero |
-| `createPieChart()` | Render pie, donut, or semi-circle slices | Sync | `onHover` receives `null` when the pointer leaves |
-| `createRadarChart()` | Compare values across 3+ axes, such as hero stats | Sync | Events report a whole axis, not one series |
-| `createSparkline()` | Render an inline line, area, bar, or stack | Sync | Omitted `a11y` makes the chart decorative |
-| `linearScale()` | Create a numeric scale | Sync | `nice` defaults to `true` |
-| `timeScale()` | Create a date scale | Sync | Invalid dates produce an invalid domain |
-| `bandScale()` | Create a categorical scale | Sync | Unknown categories map to `0` and warn in development |
-| `setTheme()` | Set Prism CSS custom properties | Sync | Writes to `document.documentElement` unless `scope` is given |
-| `resetTheme()` | Remove Prism theme overrides | Sync | Clears only properties `setTheme()` wrote, on the same target |
-| `seriesColor()` | Resolve a series palette color | Sync | Palette indexes wrap after eight colors |
+| `createLineChart()` | Render one or more continuous line series | Sync | `key` values must be numbers or dates |
+| `createAreaChart()` | Render continuous series with filled areas | Sync | Fills use a gradient by default |
+| `createScatterChart()` | Plot independent `(x, y)` points | Sync | `key` is the x-value; the y-domain is fitted to data |
+| `createBarChart()` | Render categorical bars | Sync | Negative values in stacked variants are clamped to zero |
+| `createPieChart()` | Render pie, donut, or semi-circle slices | Sync | `variant` is fixed at creation; `update()` replaces slices |
+| `createRadarChart()` | Compare series across fixed axes | Sync | Requires at least three axes to draw |
+| `createSparkline()` | Render a compact line, area, bar, or stack | Sync | Has no axes, legend, or keyboard navigation |
+| `linearScale()` | Create a numeric scale | Sync | `nice` defaults to `true`; set `nice: false` to preserve the domain |
+| `timeScale()` | Create a date scale | Sync | `nice` defaults to `true` |
+| `bandScale()` | Create an ordered categorical scale | Sync | Unknown categories map to `0` and warn in development |
+| `setTheme()` | Set Prism CSS custom properties | Sync | Writes inline styles to `document.documentElement` by default |
+| `resetTheme()` | Remove theme overrides set by `setTheme()` | Sync | Only clears the selected target |

 ## Package Entry Point
 
 | Import | Purpose |

+| `@vielzeug/prism/theme.css` | Default chart styles, CSS custom properties, dark-mode values, and reduced-motion rules |
 
 ## Chart Factories
 
+Each factory appends an SVG to `container`. A chart with no measurable container size uses a temporary `600 × 300` SVG size and emits a development warning; `ResizeObserver` applies later size changes. Unless `a11y` is informative, the SVG is hidden from the accessibility tree.

+
+## Chart Handle
+
+`ChartHandle` is returned by every chart factory. `update()` synchronously rebuilds the chart from its new data; enabled motion may animate the resulting SVG. `dispose()` is idempotent, removes the chart SVG, observers, tooltip and legend, cancels chart-owned animation, aborts `disposalSignal`, and emits one `dispose` tap event. `update()` after disposal throws `PrismRenderError`.
+
+`tap()` observes `resize` and `dispose` events outside the render path. It returns an unsubscribe function; an optional abort signal removes the subscription. Observer-handler exceptions are swallowed so they cannot affect chart behavior. A tap added after disposal returns a no-op unsubscribe function.
+
+`[Symbol.dispose]()` delegates to `dispose()`, allowing explicit resource management where supported.
+
+All chart handles expose the same lifecycle members; interactive cartesian and pie/radar charts use a `.prism-live` status region when no tooltip is enabled. A tooltip is itself a polite status region. Sparklines have neither a tooltip nor a live value announcer.
+
+| Method or property | Contract |
+| --- | --- |
+| `el` | The chart's root `SVGSVGElement` |
+| `update(data)` | Replace chart data and render; throws `PrismRenderError` after disposal |
+| `dispose()` | Idempotently release chart-owned DOM, observation, and motion |
+| `disposed` | Whether the handle has been disposed |
+| `disposalSignal` | `AbortSignal` aborted during disposal |
+| `tap(handler, options?)` | Observe resize/dispose events; returns an unsubscribe function |
+| `[Symbol.dispose]()` | Calls `dispose()` |
+
+`PrismEvent` reports a changed SVG content size as `{ type: 'resize', width, height }`; the `dispose` event is emitted once before teardown completes.

+  tooltipBorder?: string;
+  tooltipColor?: string;
+}
+
+export interface ThemeScope {
+  readonly scope?: HTMLElement;
+}
+```
+
+`PrismTheme.colors` writes up to eight palette slots. The scalar fields map as follows:
+
+| Field | CSS custom property |
+| --- | --- |
+| `axisColor` | `--prism-axis-color` |
+| `fontFamily` | `--prism-font-family` |
+| `gridColor` | `--prism-grid-color` |
+| `gridOpacity` | `--prism-grid-opacity` |

+| `tooltipBg` | `--prism-tooltip-bg` |
+| `tooltipBorder` | `--prism-tooltip-border` |
+| `tooltipColor` | `--prism-tooltip-color` |
+
+### Core and Data Types

 }
 
-type ChartA11y =
-  | { readonly decorative: true }
-  | { readonly ariaLabel: string; readonly decorative?: false };
-```
-
-`update()` renders synchronously and throws `PrismRenderError` after disposal. Omitting `a11y` makes the SVG decorative with `aria-hidden="true"`.
-
-`tap()` observes runtime behavior outside the render path: it receives `resize` and `dispose` events (see `PrismEvent`). It returns an unsubscribe function; pass `options.signal` to detach automatically. Handler errors are swallowed, and tapping a disposed handle returns a no-op unsubscribe.

   key: TKey;
-  value: number;
   meta?: Record;
-  dash?: string; // stroke-dasharray for this datum's marks, e.g. '5 5'
-  opacity?: number; // opacity multiplier 0-1 for this datum's marks, e.g. 0.4
+  opacity?: number;
+  value: number;
 }
 
-type ContinuousDatum = Datum;
+export type ContinuousDatum = Datum;
 
-interface Series {
-  name: string;
-  data: TDatum[];
+export interface Series {
   color?: string;
-  id?: string; // stable data-series-id on the series group; defaults to series-
+  data: TDatum[];
+  id?: string;
+  name: string;
 }
 
-interface ChartEvent {
+export interface ChartEvent {
   datum: Datum;
-  series: Series;
   originalEvent: Event;
-  values?: SeriesValue[]; // every series at the same key (line, area, bar)
+  series: Series;
+  values?: SeriesValue[];
 }
 
-interface SeriesValue {
+export interface SeriesValue {
   datum: Datum | undefined;
   series: Series;
 }
 ```
 
-Line and area series use `ContinuousDatum`; bar series accept the complete `Datum` key range. On line, area, and bar charts, `datum`/`series` name the series nearest the pointer, and `values` lists every series at that key (a missing value is `undefined`). `originalEvent` is a `MouseEvent`, or a `KeyboardEvent` for keyboard navigation.
-
-#### Per-datum presentation
-
-`dash` and `opacity` style an individual datum's marks without splitting the series — the usual case is a forecast tail where points past "today" are faded or dashed. They are styling-only: interaction, tooltip, and accessibility behavior never change. Support is per chart type:
+`Datum.dash` and `Datum.opacity` affect rendered marks only on the chart types that support them. On bars, `dash` adds a 1px series-color stroke so the dash is visible against the fill. `Series.id` becomes a `data-series-id` attribute on a series group; characters outside `[A-Za-z0-9_-]` are replaced with `-`. When omitted, the id is based on the series index.
 
 | Chart | `dash` | `opacity` |
 | --- | --- | --- |
-| Bar | `stroke-dasharray` on the datum's `rect`, plus a 1px series-color stroke so the dash is visible on the fill. | Element `opacity` on the datum's `rect`. |
-| Line | The segment from this datum to the next (Chart.js-style segments). The last datum's `dash` has no segment and is ignored. | That same segment, plus this datum's own point marker. |
-| Area | The top line's segment from this datum to the next (last datum ignored). The fill keeps the series-level treatment. | Same segment on the top line. |
-| Sparkline, pie, radar | Ignored. | Ignored. |
-
-Consecutive datums that share one `dash`/`opacity` render as a single path run. Absent fields keep the series/theme default, and a series with no presentation fields renders byte-identically to a chart that never used them. See [Forecast / emphasis styling](./usage.md#forecast--emphasis-styling).
+| Bar | Strokes that datum's bar | Applies to that bar |
+| Line | Applies to the segment from this datum to the next | Applies to that segment and its point marker |
+| Area | Applies to the top-line segment from this datum to the next | Applies to that segment |
+| Scatter | Ignored | Applies to that point |
+| Pie, radar, sparkline | Ignored | Ignored |
 
-#### Stable series identity
+For line and area charts, the last datum has no following segment, so its `dash` value is ignored. The chart factories group adjacent segments with the same presentation values into path runs.
 
-`Series.id` is rendered as `data-series-id` on the chart's series group (`.prism-line-series`, `.prism-bar-series`, `.prism-area-series`, `.prism-radar-series`) so tooltips, tests, and external CSS can address a series without positional assumptions. Characters outside `[A-Za-z0-9_-]` are replaced with `-`. It defaults to `series-`, which only stays stable while the series order does — set `id` to survive reordering.
+For line, area, and bar charts, `ChartEvent.values` lists each series at the active key in series order. Its `datum` is `undefined` when that series has no matching key. `originalEvent` is a pointer event or a keyboard event for keyboard activation. Scatter events identify only the nearest independent point and omit `values`.

-Tooltip strings are assigned through `textContent`. Return a `Node` for structured content.
+The crosshair defaults to a vertical line that snaps to the nearest datum; the horizontal line is hidden by default. With `snap: false`, only the guide follows the pointer—tooltip and callback data still refer to the nearest datum.
 
----
+Tooltip strings are assigned as text, not parsed as HTML. For a radar chart, `tooltip.render` receives a datum whose `meta` contains the active axis, all series values, and the default announcement text.

-## Errors
-
-### `PrismError`
-
-Base class for every Prism-originated error. It supports standard `ErrorOptions` cause chaining.
-
-### `PrismRenderError`
-
-Extends `PrismError`. Thrown for invalid containers, failed initial renders, and attempts to update disposed charts.
-
-### Usage Guide
-
-## Basic Usage
-
-Every chart needs a container element with defined dimensions and the theme CSS:
-
-```ts
-import { createLineChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
-import '@vielzeug/prism/theme.css';
-
-const container = document.querySelector('#chart')!;
-const chart = createLineChart(container, {
-  series: [
-    {
-      name: 'Revenue',
-      data: [
-        { key: 1, value: 10 },
-        { key: 2, value: 16 },
-      ],
-    },
-  ],
-});
-
-chart.dispose();
-```
-
-```html
-
-```
-
-Prism observes the container size via `ResizeObserver` and re-renders automatically on resize. If the container has zero dimensions at mount time, a `warn` is emitted in development: ensure the container has layout before calling the chart factory.
-
-## Updating Data
-
-Chart factories render synchronously and return a typed handle. Call `update()` with the same data shape used by the factory when application state changes.
-
-```ts
-import { createLineChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
-
-const chart = createLineChart(container, {
-  series: [{ data: [{ key: 1, value: 10 }], name: 'Live' }],
-});
-
-chart.update([
-  {
-    data: [
-      { key: 1, value: 10 },
-      { key: 2, value: 20 },
-    ],
-    name: 'Live',
-  },
-]);
-```
-
-`update()` is state-library neutral. Call it from a framework effect, store subscription, event handler, or request callback. It throws after the chart is disposed instead of silently retaining detached state.
-
-## Line Charts
-
-```ts
-import { createLineChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
-
-const chart = createLineChart(container, {
-  series: [
-    {
-      name: 'Revenue',
-      data: [
-        { key: 1, value: 100 },
-        { key: 2, value: 150 },
-        { key: 3, value: 130 },
-      ],
-      color: '#3b82f6',
-      curve: 'monotone', // 'linear' | 'monotone' | 'step'
-      strokeWidth: 2,
-      showPoints: true,
-      pointRadius: 4,
-    },
-  ],
-  xAxis: { position: 'bottom' },
-  yAxis: { position: 'left', grid: true },
-  tooltip: true,
-  crosshair: true,
-});
-```
-
-### Multiple Series
-
-```ts
-const chart = createLineChart(container, {
-  series: [
-    { name: 'Revenue', data: revenueData, color: '#3b82f6' },
-    { name: 'Expenses', data: expenseData, color: '#ef4444' },
-  ],
-  xAxis: { position: 'bottom' },
-  yAxis: { position: 'left', grid: true },
-});
-```
-
-### Independent Value Axes
-
-Assign a line series to `yAxis: 'right'` when its values need a different range. Both axes share the same X scale, while tooltips retain the original values.
-
-```ts
-const chart = createLineChart(container, {
-  series: [
-    { name: 'Health', data: [{ key: 0, value: 30 }, { key: 1, value: 20 }] },
-    { name: 'Damage', yAxis: 'right', data: [{ key: 0, value: 0 }, { key: 1, value: 300 }] },
-  ],
-  yAxis: { label: 'Health' },
-  rightYAxis: { label: 'Damage' },
-  tooltip: true,
-});
-```
-
-The primary axis is on the left when right-axis series are present. Grid configuration belongs to the primary axis. Dual-axis curve crossings do not imply equal numeric values. Preserve each marker's axis assignment when calling `update()`.
-
-### Time-based X Axis
-
-When data points use `Date` objects for `key`, Prism automatically applies a time scale. The domain spans exactly the first to the last date, so the series fills the plot width:
-
-```ts
-const chart = createLineChart(container, {
-  series: [
-    {
-      name: 'Signups',
-      data: [
-        { key: new Date('2024-01-01'), value: 50 },
-        { key: new Date('2024-02-01'), value: 80 },
-        { key: new Date('2024-03-01'), value: 120 },
-      ],
-    },
-  ],
-  xAxis: { position: 'bottom', tickFormat: (d) => (d as Date).toLocaleDateString() },
-  yAxis: { position: 'left' },
-});
-```
-
-## Bar Charts
-
-```ts
-import { createBarChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
-
-const chart = createBarChart(container, {
-  series: [
-    {
-      name: 'Sales',
-      data: [
-        { key: 'Q1', value: 200 },
-        { key: 'Q2', value: 350 },
-        { key: 'Q3', value: 280 },
-        { key: 'Q4', value: 400 },
-      ],
-      borderRadius: 4,
-    },
-  ],
-  xAxis: { position: 'bottom' },
-  yAxis: { position: 'left', grid: true },
-  tooltip: true,
-});
-```
-
-### Variants
-
-Select the bar layout with `variant`:
-
-| Value                  | Layout                     |
-| ---------------------- | -------------------------- |
-| `'grouped'`            | Vertical grouped (default) |
-| `'stacked'`            | Vertical stacked           |
-| `'grouped-horizontal'` | Horizontal grouped         |
-| `'stacked-horizontal'` | Horizontal stacked         |
-
-```ts
-const chart = createBarChart(container, {
-  variant: 'stacked',
-  series: [
-    { name: 'Mobile', data: mobileData, color: '#3b82f6', borderRadius: 0 },
-    { name: 'Desktop', data: desktopData, color: '#10b981', borderRadius: 0 },
-  ],
-  xAxis: { position: 'bottom' },
-  yAxis: { position: 'left', grid: true },
-  tooltip: true,
-  legend: true,
-});
-```
-
-For horizontal layouts, categories appear on the Y axis and values on the X axis:
-
-```ts
-const chart = createBarChart(container, {
-  variant: 'grouped-horizontal',
-  series: [{ name: 'Revenue', data, color: '#3b82f6' }],
-  xAxis: { position: 'bottom', grid: true },
-  yAxis: { position: 'left' },
-});
-```
-
-### Grouped Bars
 
-Multiple series with `variant: 'grouped'` (default) render side-by-side:
-
-```ts
-const chart = createBarChart(container, {
-  series: [
-    { name: '2023', data: lastYearData, color: '#94a3b8' },
-    { name: '2024', data: thisYearData, color: '#3b82f6' },
-  ],
-});
-```
-
-## Area Charts
-
-Area fills use a vertical gradient that fades toward the baseline. Set `fill: 'solid'` for a flat fill:
-
-```ts
-import { createAreaChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
-
-const chart = createAreaChart(container, {
-  series: [
-    {
-      name: 'Users',
-      data: userData,
-      curve: 'monotone',
-      fill: 'gradient', // 'gradient' (default) | 'solid'
-      showLine: true,
-    },
-  ],
-  xAxis: { position: 'bottom' },
-  yAxis: { position: 'left', grid: true },
-  crosshair: true,
-});
-```
-
-`fillOpacity` overrides the theme opacity for one series.
-
-## Forecast / emphasis styling
-
-A single series often mixes points that should look different — actuals plus a
-forecast tail, or a run that crossed a budget. Rather than split the series,
-carry `dash` and `opacity` on the individual datums. They are styling-only:
-tooltips, hover, keyboard, and screen-reader behavior never change.
-
-For a forecast tail, map a parallel `types` array onto the datums:
-
-```ts
-import { createLineChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
+export interface BarSeriesConfig extends Series {
+  borderRadius?: number;
+}
 
-const types = ['REAL', 'REAL', 'FORECAST', 'FORECAST'];
+export type BarVariant = 'grouped' | 'grouped-horizontal' | 'stacked' | 'stacked-horizontal';
 
-const chart = createLineChart(container, {
-  series: [
-    {
-      name: 'Cost',
-      data: values.map((value, i) => ({
-        key: months[i],
-        value,
-        ...(types[i] === 'FORECAST' ? { dash: '5 5', opacity: 0.4 } : {}),
-      })),
-    },
-  ],
-});
-```
+export interface BarChartConfig extends BaseChartConfig {
+  series: BarSeriesConfig[];
+  variant?: BarVariant;
+}
 
-On a line chart, a datum's `dash` styles the segment from that point to the
-next, so the forecast run renders dashed while the actuals stay solid; its
-`opacity` fades that segment and the point marker. The last datum's `dash` has
-no segment to paint and is ignored. On a bar chart, both fields apply to that
-datum's own bar — a `dash` adds a 1px series-color stroke so the dash reads on
-the filled rect. On an area chart they style the top line only; the fill keeps
-its series-level treatment.
+export type PieVariant = 'donut' | 'pie' | 'semi';
 
-The same mapping fades bars:
+export interface PieSliceConfig {
+  color?: string;
+  label?: string;
+  value: number;
+}
 
-```ts
-import { createBarChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
+export interface PieEvent {
+  index: number;
+  originalEvent: Event;
+  slice: PieSliceConfig;
+}
 
-const chart = createBarChart(container, {
-  series: [
-    {
-      name: 'Cost',
-      data: values.map((value, i) => ({
-        key: months[i],
-        value,
-        ...(types[i] === 'FORECAST' ? { dash: '5 5', opacity: 0.4 } : {}),
-      })),
-    },
-  ],
-});
-```
+export interface PieChartConfig extends Omit {
+  cornerRadius?: number;
+  data: PieSliceConfig[];
+  innerRadius?: number;
+  onClick?: (event: PieEvent) => void;
+  onHover?: (event: PieEvent | null) => void;
+  padPixels?: number;
+  variant?: PieVariant;
+}
 
-Because the fields live on the data, a normal `update(newSeries)` re-applies
-them; removing the fields on the next update clears the styling. A series with
-no `dash`/`opacity` anywhere renders exactly as it did before these fields
-existed.
+export interface RadarAxisConfig {
+  format?: (value: number) => string;
+  key: string;
+  label: string;
+  max?: number;
+  min?: number;
+}
 
-## Pie, Donut, and Semi-circle Charts
+export type RadarSeriesConfig = Series>;
 
-All three variants use `createPieChart` with the `variant` field:
+export interface RadarGridConfig {
+  bands?: boolean;
+  labels?: boolean;
+  levels?: number;
+  shape?: 'circle' | 'polygon';
+}
 
-```ts
-import { createPieChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
+export interface RadarAxisValue {
+  datum: Datum | undefined;
+  series: RadarSeriesConfig;
+}
 
-const chart = createPieChart(container, {
-  data: [
-    { label: 'Direct', value: 42, color: '#3b82f6' },
-    { label: 'Organic', value: 28, color: '#10b981' },
-    { label: 'Referral', value: 18, color: '#f59e0b' },
-    { label: 'Social', value: 12, color: '#8b5cf6' },
-  ],
-  variant: 'donut', // 'pie' | 'donut' | 'semi'
-  tooltip: true,
-  transition: { duration: 400, easing: 'ease-out' },
-});
-```
+export interface RadarEvent {
+  axis: RadarAxisConfig;
+  index: number;
+  originalEvent: Event;
+  values: RadarAxisValue[];
+}
 
-### Variants
+export interface RadarChartConfig extends Omit {
+  axes: RadarAxisConfig[];
+  curve?: 'linear' | 'rounded';
+  domain?: [number, number];
+  fill?: 'gradient' | 'none' | 'solid';
+  grid?: RadarGridConfig | boolean;
+  onClick?: (event: RadarEvent) => void;
+  onHover?: (event: RadarEvent | null) => void;

+}
 
-| Value     | Shape                                                   |
-| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `'pie'`   | Full circle, no hole                                    |
-| `'donut'` | Full circle with inner hole (~55% of outer by default)  |
-| `'semi'`  | Top-half semicircle with inner hole: useful for gauges |
+export type SparklineVariant = 'area' | 'bar' | 'line' | 'stack';
 
-### Inner Radius
+export interface StackSegment {
+  color?: string;
+  label?: string;
+  value: number;
+}
 
-`innerRadius` overrides the automatic calculation:
+export interface SparklineEvent {
+  index: number;
+  originalEvent: Event;
+  value: number;
+}
 
-```ts
-createPieChart(container, {
-  data,
-  variant: 'donut',
-  innerRadius: 60, // explicit pixels
-});
+export interface SparklineConfig {
+  a11y?: ChartA11y;
+  color?: string;
+  cornerRadius?: number;
+  curve?: 'linear' | 'monotone' | 'step';
+  data: number[] | StackSegment[];
+  fillOpacity?: number;
+  onClick?: (event: SparklineEvent) => void;
+  onHover?: (event: SparklineEvent | null) => void;
+  padPixels?: number;
+  showEndPoint?: boolean;
+  strokeWidth?: number;
+  transition?: TransitionOption;
+  variant?: SparklineVariant;
+}
 ```
 
-### Slice Labels
+## Errors
 
-Set `label` on each `PieSliceConfig` to render text at the arc centroid. A label that does not fit inside its slice is not drawn; the value stays available through the tooltip, legend, and keyboard announcements:
+### `PrismError`
 
 ```ts
-{ value: 42, label: 'Direct' }
-```
-
-Style labels via CSS:
-
-```css
-:root {
-  --prism-pie-label-color: #fff;
-  --prism-pie-label-size: 11px;
+class PrismError extends Error {
+  constructor(message: string, opts?: ErrorOptions);
 }
 ```
 
-### Updating Data
-
-```ts
-const chart = createPieChart(container, {
-  data: [
-    { label: 'A', value: 40 },
-    { label: 'B', value: 60 },
-  ],
-  variant: 'donut',
-});
-
-chart.update([
-  { label: 'A', value: 55 },
-  { label: 'B', value: 45 },
-]);
-```
+Base class for Prism-originated errors. Its `name` is set to the concrete error class name, and it supports the standard `ErrorOptions` including `cause`.
 
-### Event Hooks
+### `PrismRenderError`
 
 ```ts
-createPieChart(container, {
-  data,
-  onHover: (event) => {
-    // event is PieEvent | null (null on mouseleave)
-    if (event) console.log(event.index, event.slice.label, event.slice.value);
-  },
-  onClick: (event) => {
-    console.log('clicked', event.index, event.slice.label);
-  },
-});
+class PrismRenderError extends PrismError {}
 ```
 
-`PieEvent` provides `index`, the hovered/clicked `slice` (`PieSliceConfig`), and the `originalEvent` (`MouseEvent` or `KeyboardEvent`).
+Thrown when a chart cannot be rendered because its container is not a DOM element, when initial rendering fails (the original error is available as `cause`), or when `update()` is called after disposal. Empty or malformed chart data may instead produce a development warning or an empty rendering, depending on the chart.
 
-## Radar Charts
+### Usage Guide
+
+## Basic Usage
 
-`createRadarChart` compares several values on one shape, such as a hero's stats. Each series supplies values keyed by `axis.key`:
+Create a host element with non-zero dimensions, then pass it to a chart factory. This example creates the host in JavaScript so the snippet can run as written.
 
 ```ts
-import { createRadarChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
+import { createLineChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
+import '@vielzeug/prism/theme.css';
 
-const axes = [
-  { key: 'str', label: 'Strength' },
-  { key: 'agi', label: 'Agility' },
-  { key: 'int', label: 'Intellect' },
-  { key: 'end', label: 'Endurance' },
-  { key: 'spd', label: 'Speed', max: 5 },
-];
+const container = document.createElement('div');
+container.style.cssText = 'width:640px;height:320px';
+document.body.append(container);
 
-const chart = createRadarChart(container, {
-  a11y: { ariaLabel: 'Hero stats' },
-  axes,
-  domain: [0, 10],
-  fill: 'gradient',
-  showValues: true,
+const chart = createLineChart(container, {
+  a11y: { ariaLabel: 'Revenue by month' },
   series: [
     {
-      name: 'Adam',
+      name: 'Revenue',
       data: [
-        { key: 'str', value: 8 },
-        { key: 'agi', value: 6 },
-        { key: 'int', value: 4 },
-        { key: 'end', value: 9 },
-        { key: 'spd', value: 3 },
+        { key: 1, value: 10 },
+        { key: 2, value: 16 },
       ],
     },
   ],
+  tooltip: true,
 });
+
+chart.dispose();
 ```
 
-### Scales
+Each factory appends an SVG to its container and returns a `ChartHandle`. Prism observes the container with `ResizeObserver`; if it has zero dimensions on creation, Prism uses a temporary `600 × 300` size and warns in development. Give the host its layout before creating the chart.
 
-Every axis shares `domain` (or a nice range around the data when omitted). Give an axis its own `min`/`max` when its stat uses a different range: above, Speed runs 0 to 5 while the rest run 0 to 10, so each still fills the chart.
+## Updating Data
 
-### Appearance
+Keep application state outside Prism and pass the next complete data value to `update()`. The update method replaces chart data synchronously; the default transition may animate the resulting SVG.
 
-| Option | Values | Use it for |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `fill` | `'solid'`, `'gradient'`, `'none'` | `gradient` for a single hero; `solid` or `none` when overlaying several |
-| `curve` | `'linear'`, `'rounded'` | Rounded reads softer; linear keeps exact vertices |
-| `grid.shape` | `'polygon'`, `'circle'` | Polygon matches the axes; circle suits many axes |
-| `grid.levels` / `grid.bands` | number / boolean | Ring count and alternate shading |

-### Comparing Series
+const container = document.createElement('div');
+container.style.cssText = 'width:640px;height:320px';
+document.body.append(container);
 
-Pass several series with `legend: true`. Hovering one shape dims the others, and hovering an axis reports every series' value on it:
+let series = [{ data: [{ key: 1, value: 10 }], name: 'Live' }];
+const chart = createLineChart(container, { series });
 
-```ts
-createRadarChart(container, {
-  axes,
-  legend: true,
-  series: [adam, eve],
-  tooltip: true, // "Agility: Adam 6, Eve 9"
-  onHover: (event) => event && console.log(event.axis.label, event.values),
-});
+series = [{ data: [{ key: 1, value: 10 }, { key: 2, value: 20 }], name: 'Live' }];
+chart.update(series);
+chart.dispose();
 ```
 
-## Sparklines
+`update()` accepts the type shown by that factory's handle: a complete series array for line, area, scatter, bar, and radar charts; a slice array for pie charts; and a number or stack-segment array for sparklines. Chart options such as axes, variant, callbacks, and accessibility are set at creation. For example, radar axes and a pie chart's variant do not change through `update()`.
+
+## Line Charts
 
-Sparklines are minimal inline charts with no axes, no legend, and no margin: designed to live inline with text or inside table cells.
+Line and area series use number or `Date` keys. All series in one chart must use the same key kind. Use `curve` to choose interpolation, and enable markers with `showPoints`.
 
 ```ts
-import { createSparkline } from '@vielzeug/prism';
+import { createLineChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
+
+const container = document.createElement('div');
+container.style.cssText = 'width:640px;height:320px';
+document.body.append(container);
 
-const spark = createSparkline(container, {
-  data: [12, 18, 14, 22, 19, 28],
-  variant: 'line', // 'line' | 'area' | 'bar' | 'stack' (default: 'line')
-  color: '#3b82f6',
-  curve: 'monotone',
-  strokeWidth: 1.5,
+const chart = createLineChart(container, {
+  a11y: { ariaLabel: 'Revenue and expenses' },
+  series: [
+    {
+      curve: 'monotone',
+      data: [{ key: 1, value: 100 }, { key: 2, value: 150 }, { key: 3, value: 130 }],
+      name: 'Revenue',
+      showPoints: true,
+    },
+    {
+      color: '#c2410c',
+      data: [{ key: 1, value: 70 }, { key: 2, value: 95 }, { key: 3, value: 110 }],
+      name: 'Expenses',
+    },
+  ],
+  tooltip: true,
+  xAxis: { label: 'Month' },
+  yAxis: { grid: true, label: 'Dollars' },
 });
 
-spark.dispose();
+chart.dispose();
 ```
 
-### Variants
+### Independent Value Axes
 
-- **`line`**: simple polyline path (default)
-- **`area`**: gradient-filled area + line overlay
-- **`bar`**: vertical bar for each data point
-- **`stack`**: horizontal proportional segments; use `StackSegment[]` for `data` with per-segment colors
+Assign a line series to the right axis when it uses a different value range. Both axes share the x-scale; `rightYAxis` configures the second axis and cannot configure its position or grid.
 
-Line and area sparklines mark the latest value with a dot. Set `showEndPoint: false` to hide it.
+```ts
+import { createLineChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
 
-### Updating Data
+const container = document.createElement('div');
+container.style.cssText = 'width:640px;height:320px';
+document.body.append(container);
 
-```ts
-const spark = createSparkline(container, {
-  data: [12, 18, 14, 22],
-  variant: 'area',
+const chart = createLineChart(container, {
+  a11y: { ariaLabel: 'Health and damage by level' },
+  rightYAxis: { label: 'Damage' },
+  series: [
+    { data: [{ key: 1, value: 30 }, { key: 2, value: 20 }], name: 'Health' },
+    { data: [{ key: 1, value: 100 }, { key: 2, value: 300 }], name: 'Damage', yAxis: 'right' },
+  ],
+  yAxis: { grid: true, label: 'Health' },
 });
 
-spark.update([12, 18, 14, 22, 30]);
+chart.dispose();
 ```
 
-### Event Hooks
+When any series uses the right axis, the primary value axis is placed on the left. Grid lines belong to the primary `yAxis`. The independent numeric scales mean that curve crossings do not imply equal values.
 
-Sparklines use simplified hooks: `SparklineEvent` rather than full `ChartEvent`. With a hook set, a marker follows the hovered value:
+### Time-Based X Axis
+
+Use `Date` values for every key when plotting time. Line and area charts use a time scale whose domain fits the data instead of rounding outward to tick boundaries.
 
 ```ts
-const spark = createSparkline(container, {
-  data: [10, 20, 30],
-  onHover: (event) => {
-    // event is SparklineEvent | null (null on mouseleave)
-    if (event) console.log(`Hovering point ${event.index}: ${event.value}`);
-  },
-  onClick: (event) => {
-    console.log(`Clicked point ${event.index}: ${event.value}`);
-  },
+import { createLineChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
+
+const container = document.createElement('div');
+container.style.cssText = 'width:640px;height:320px';
+document.body.append(container);
+
+const formatter = new Intl.DateTimeFormat(undefined, { month: 'short', day: 'numeric' });
+const chart = createLineChart(container, {
+  a11y: { ariaLabel: 'Signups over time' },
+  series: [{
+    data: [
+      { key: new Date('2026-09-01'), value: 50 },
+      { key: new Date('2026-09-08'), value: 80 },
+      { key: new Date('2026-09-15'), value: 120 },
+    ],
+    name: 'Signups',
+  }],
+  xAxis: { tickFormat: (value) => value instanceof Date ? formatter.format(value) : String(value) },
 });
-```
 
-`SparklineEvent` provides `index`, the hovered/clicked `value`, and the `originalEvent`.
+chart.dispose();
+```
 
-> **Note:** Sparklines have no keyboard navigation. Label one with `a11y.ariaLabel` only when the trend carries meaning, and state the key value in surrounding text.
+`tickFormat` formats axis labels only. Tooltip content and accessibility announcements use the underlying keys and values.
 
-## Axes and Grid
+## Bar Charts
 
-Both axes render by default: the value axis (y on vertical charts, x on horizontal ones) carries gridlines, the category axis does not. Set `xAxis: false` or `yAxis: false` to suppress one. An explicit config is used verbatim:
+Bar chart keys are string categories. The default `grouped` variant puts series side by side; the horizontal variants put categories on the y-axis and values on the x-axis.
 
 ```ts
-{
-  xAxis: {
-    position: 'bottom',          // 'top' | 'bottom'
-    tickCount: 5,
-    tickFormat: (v) => `$${v}`,
-    label: 'Month',
-    grid: true,                  // or { color: '#ddd', dash: '4 2' }
-  },
-  yAxis: {
-    position: 'left',            // 'left' | 'right'
-    grid: { color: '#f0f0f0' },
-    label: 'Revenue ($)',
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Category axes show every label when the labels fit and thin them out only when they would overlap. Set `tickCount` to choose the density yourself.
+import { createBarChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
 
-## Tooltips
+const container = document.createElement('div');
+container.style.cssText = 'width:640px;height:320px';
+document.body.append(container);
 
-Enable with `tooltip: true`. On line, area, bar, and radar charts the default tooltip compares every series at the active key: a title, then a colour swatch, name, and value per series. Provide a custom `render` function to replace it. Strings are rendered as text. Return a DOM node for structured content:
+const chart = createBarChart(container, {
+  a11y: { ariaLabel: 'Sales by quarter' },
+  series: [{
+    data: [{ key: 'Q1', value: 200 }, { key: 'Q2', value: 350 }, { key: 'Q3', value: 280 }],
+    name: 'Sales',
+  }],
+  tooltip: true,
+});
 
-```ts
-{
-  tooltip: {
-    offset: 12,
-    render: (datum, series) => {
-      const content = document.createElement('strong');
-      content.textContent = `${series.name}: ${datum.value.toLocaleString()}`;
-      return content;
-    },
-  },
-}
+chart.dispose();
 ```
 
-Prism never injects tooltip strings as HTML, so custom rendering does not require a sanitizer.
+Choose `grouped`, `stacked`, `grouped-horizontal`, or `stacked-horizontal` in `variant`. Negative values in a stacked chart are clamped to zero and produce a development warning. Bars in stacked variants remain square; `borderRadius` applies to grouped bars.
 
-The tooltip element is scoped inside the chart container (not `document.body`) and is removed automatically on `dispose()`.
+Axes render by default, with grid lines on the value axis. For horizontal variants, `xAxis` is the value axis and `yAxis` is the category axis. Configure `grid` on the value axis.
 
-## Crosshair
+## Area Charts
 
-A vertical guide that snaps to the nearest data point:
+Area series use a gradient fill by default. Set `fill: 'solid'` for a flat fill, or set `fillOpacity` to override the theme opacity for that series.
 
 ```ts
-{
-  crosshair: true,
-  // or configure:
-  crosshair: { vertical: true, horizontal: true, snap: true },
-}
-```
+import { createAreaChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
 
-## Legend
+const container = document.createElement('div');
+container.style.cssText = 'width:640px;height:320px';
+document.body.append(container);
 
-Enable with `legend: true` (defaults to `bottom`) or configure position:
+const chart = createAreaChart(container, {
+  a11y: { ariaLabel: 'Visitors over time' },
+  crosshair: true,
+  series: [{
+    curve: 'monotone',
+    data: [{ key: 1, value: 12 }, { key: 2, value: 18 }, { key: 3, value: 15 }],
+    fill: 'solid',
+    fillOpacity: 0.2,
+    name: 'Visitors',
+    showLine: true,
+  }],
+});
 
-```ts
-{
-  legend: true,
-  // or:
-  legend: { position: 'top' },  // 'top' | 'bottom' | 'left' | 'right'
-}
+chart.dispose();
 ```
 
-The legend renders as a `div` placed outside the SVG. Each item shows a color swatch and the series `name`. Customize via CSS:
+## Scatter Charts
 
-```css
-:root {
-  --prism-legend-gap: 1rem;
-  --prism-legend-dot-size: 0.5rem;
-  --prism-legend-font-size: 0.75rem;
-}
-```
+Scatter charts treat every datum as an independent point: `key` is the numeric x-value and `value` is the y-value. The scales fit the observed values rather than forcing the y-domain to include zero. Set `pointRadius` on a series to change its marker size.
 
-## Event Hooks
+```ts
+import { createScatterChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
 
-All charts expose `onClick` and `onHover` callbacks on the config:
+const container = document.createElement('div');
+container.style.cssText = 'width:640px;height:320px';
+document.body.append(container);
 
-```ts
-const chart = createLineChart(container, {
-  series: [{ name: 'Revenue', data }],
-  onHover: (event) => {
-    // event is ChartEvent | null (null on mouseleave)
-    if (event) console.log(event.datum, event.series);
-  },
-  onClick: (event) => {
-    console.log('clicked', event.datum);
-  },
+const chart = createScatterChart(container, {
+  a11y: { ariaLabel: 'Height against weight' },
+  series: [{
+    data: [{ key: 160, value: 55 }, { key: 175, value: 70 }, { key: 190, value: 88 }],
+    name: 'Cohort A',
+    pointRadius: 5,
+  }],
+  tooltip: true,
 });
-```
 
-`ChartEvent` provides:
+chart.dispose();
+```
 
-- `datum`: the datum of the series nearest the pointer
-- `series`: the corresponding `Series` config
-- `values`: every series at the same key (line, area, and bar charts)
-- `originalEvent`: the raw `MouseEvent` or, for keyboard navigation, `KeyboardEvent`
+Scatter callbacks identify one nearest point and do not provide cross-series `values`, because points do not share a category key.
 
-> **Pie, radar, and sparkline events differ**: pie hooks receive a `PieEvent` (`index`, `slice`, `originalEvent`), sparkline hooks a `SparklineEvent` (`index`, `value`, `originalEvent`), and radar hooks a `RadarEvent` describing an axis. See [`PieChartConfig`](./api.md#chart-configurations) and [`createRadarChart()`](./api.md#createradarchart).
+## Forecast and Emphasis Styling
 
-## Animations
+Add `dash` or `opacity` to individual `Datum` objects when one part of a series needs distinct styling. These fields do not change interaction, tooltip, or accessibility behavior.
 
-Every chart animates by default: bars grow from the baseline, line and area
-series rise out of the plot, pie slices sweep in and then morph between values,
-radar polygons reshape, and sparklines tween. Motion runs through one
-`requestAnimationFrame` loop and is skipped when the user prefers reduced motion
-(`preference: 'system'`, the default).
+```ts
+import { createLineChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
 
-Tune it with `transition`, or turn it off entirely:
+const container = document.createElement('div');
+container.style.cssText = 'width:640px;height:320px';
+document.body.append(container);
 
-```ts
-{
-  transition: {
-    duration: 400,
-    easing: 'ease-out',
-    stagger: 30,  // ms delay between bars (bar charts) or series (radar charts)
-  },
-}
-```
+const values = [10, 13, 15, 18];
+const chart = createLineChart(container, {
+  series: [{
+    data: values.map((value, index) => ({
+      key: index + 1,
+      value,
+      ...(index >= 2 ? { dash: '5 5', opacity: 0.4 } : {}),
+    })),
+    name: 'Forecast',
+    showPoints: true,
+  }],
+});
 
-```ts
-{ transition: false }  // every update renders synchronously
-{ transition: true }   // the defaults, stated explicitly
+chart.dispose();
 ```
 
-Named easings are `'linear'`, `'ease-in'`, `'ease-out'`, `'ease-in-out'`,
-`'expo-out'` (a hard decelerate), and `'back-out'` (a small overshoot); pass a
-`(t: number) => number` for anything else. `stagger` applies to bar-chart bars
-and radar-chart series and is ignored elsewhere — bar charts cap the total
-staggered delay near 400 ms so a long category axis still finishes promptly.
+For line and area charts, each datum's `dash` styles the segment from that datum to the next; the final datum has no outgoing segment. Line opacity also fades the datum's marker. Area styling affects the top line, not the fill. Bar opacity and dashes apply to the individual bar; scatter opacity applies to its point and scatter dashes are ignored. Pie, radar, and sparkline ignore these two fields.
 
-## Theming
+## Pie, Donut, and Semi Charts
 
-Import the default theme:
+Use `createPieChart()` for all three shapes. `variant` is fixed when the chart is created; `update()` replaces the slice data.
 
 ```ts
-import '@vielzeug/prism/theme.css';
-```
-
-### Programmatic Theme with `setTheme`
-
-Call `setTheme` once at app startup to apply custom tokens programmatically:
+import { createPieChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
 
-```ts
-import { setTheme } from '@vielzeug/prism';
+const container = document.createElement('div');
+container.style.cssText = 'width:320px;height:240px';
+document.body.append(container);
 
-setTheme({
-  axisColor: '#94a3b8', // sets --prism-axis-color
-  colors: ['#6366f1', '#22d3ee', '#f59e0b', '#10b981'], // replaces --prism-color-1 through -4
-  fontFamily: 'Inter, system-ui, sans-serif', // sets --prism-font-family
-  gridColor: '#e2e8f0', // sets --prism-grid-color
-  gridOpacity: 0.6, // sets --prism-grid-opacity
-  textColor: '#0f172a', // sets --prism-text-color
-  tooltipBg: '#0f172a', // sets --prism-tooltip-bg
+const chart = createPieChart(container, {
+  a11y: { ariaLabel: 'Orders by channel' },
+  data: [
+    { label: 'Direct', value: 42 },
+    { label: 'Organic', value: 28 },
+    { label: 'Referral', value: 18 },
+    { label: 'Social', value: 12 },
+  ],
+  legend: true,
+  tooltip: true,
+  variant: 'donut',
 });
+
+chart.dispose();
 ```
 
-`setTheme` writes inline custom properties, so it takes precedence over stylesheet defaults. Call `resetTheme()` to clear every custom property `setTheme` can set and restore the default theme: useful for a theme-switcher's "reset" action or test teardown:
+The `pie` default has no inner radius. `donut` and `semi` default to an inner radius of 55% of the outer radius. `innerRadius` overrides that size in pixels. Slice labels are omitted when they do not fit; keep a tooltip or legend when small slices need identifying.
 
-```ts
-import { resetTheme } from '@vielzeug/prism';
+## Radar Charts
 
-resetTheme();
-```
+Define at least three axes when creating a radar chart. Series data uses string keys that match `RadarAxisConfig.key`; `update()` replaces series but keeps axes and other configuration fixed.
 
-### Theming One Subtree (component libraries)
+```ts
+import { createRadarChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
 
-Pass `scope` to write the tokens onto one element instead of `document.documentElement`. Charts render inside it, so their `var(--prism-*)` lookups resolve against the scoped values without touching `:root` — the hook for apps whose theme lives in a JS palette object (MUI, Chakra, Backstage):
+const container = document.createElement('div');
+container.style.cssText = 'width:400px;height:320px';
+document.body.append(container);
 
-```tsx
-import { useEffect, useRef } from 'react';
-import { useTheme } from '@mui/material/styles';
-import { createBarChart, resetTheme, setTheme, type BarSeriesConfig } from '@vielzeug/prism';
-import '@vielzeug/prism/theme.css';
+const axes = [
+  { key: 'strength', label: 'Strength' },
+  { key: 'agility', label: 'Agility' },
+  { key: 'endurance', label: 'Endurance' },
+];
+const chart = createRadarChart(container, {
+  a11y: { ariaLabel: 'Hero stats' },
+  axes,
+  domain: [0, 10],
+  series: [{
+    data: [{ key: 'strength', value: 8 }, { key: 'agility', value: 6 }, { key: 'endurance', value: 9 }],
+    name: 'Adam',
+  }],
+  tooltip: true,
+});
 
-function CostsChart({ series }: { series: BarSeriesConfig[] }) {
-  const theme = useTheme();
-  const containerRef = useRef(null);
+chart.dispose();
+```
 
-  useEffect(() => {
-    const scope = containerRef.current;
+The default shared domain starts at zero and uses a nice maximum; set `domain` to compare series on a fixed range. Per-axis `min` and `max` override the chart domain for that axis. Grid rings, bands, curves, fills, vertex dots, and values are configurable; see `RadarChartConfig` and `RadarGridConfig` in the API reference.
 
-    if (!scope) return;
+## Sparklines
 
-    // Scoped tokens win over :root inside this subtree and never leak out of it.
-    setTheme(
-      { axisColor: theme.palette.divider, textColor: theme.palette.text.primary },
-      { scope },
-    );
+Sparklines omit axes, margins, and legends. Choose `line`, `area`, or `bar` for numeric arrays, and `stack` for an array of `StackSegment` objects.
 
-    const chart = createBarChart(scope, { series });
+```ts
+import { createSparkline } from '@vielzeug/prism';
 
-    return () => {
-      chart.dispose();
-      resetTheme({ scope });
-    };
-  }, [series, theme]);
+const container = document.createElement('div');
+container.style.cssText = 'width:240px;height:48px';
+document.body.append(container);
 
-  return ;
-}
+const chart = createSparkline(container, {
+  a11y: { ariaLabel: 'Weekly orders' },
+  data: [10, 14, 12, 18, 22],
+  variant: 'area',
+});
+
+chart.update([10, 14, 12, 18, 22, 25]);
+chart.dispose();
 ```
 
-A scoped call and a global call are independent: `resetTheme({ scope })` clears only what `setTheme({ scope })` wrote.
+For a stacked sparkline, each segment can set `value`, `color`, and `label`. Sparklines do not offer keyboard navigation, a tooltip, or a live value announcer. Add a visible value or summary when the trend conveys important information.

-The palette follows Wong (2011) so adjacent series stay distinguishable under common color-vision deficiencies. Dark mode applies through `prefers-color-scheme`, an `html.dark` class, or `data-prism-theme="dark"` on the chart container or any ancestor — the last is the hook for apps that switch theme in JS without owning ``.
-
-Radar charts add their own tokens, each defaulting to a shared one:

-Shared interaction and chart tokens:
-
-| Token | Default | Description |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `--prism-dim-opacity` | `0.35` | Series or slices outside the active one |
-| `--prism-active-point-radius` | `--prism-point-radius-hover` | Points marked at the active key |
-| `--prism-point-ring` | `Canvas` | Ring separating active and end points from the line |
-| `--prism-focus-color` | `--prism-color-1` | Focus outline of a keyboard-focused chart |
-| `--prism-bar-radius` | `4px` | Bar corner radius (stacked bars stay square) |
-| `--prism-bar-band-fill` / `-opacity` | Grid colour / `0.18` | Shaded active category |
-| `--prism-bar-dim-opacity` | `0.55` | Bars outside the active category |
-| `--prism-area-gradient-start` / `-end` | `0.45` / `0.02` | Gradient fill opacity at the line and the baseline |
-| `--prism-spark-gradient-start` / `-end` | `0.35` / `0` | Sparkline gradient fill |
+`onHover` receives an event while a point, category, slice, or radar axis is active, then `null` when the interaction clears. `onClick` receives the selected event. For line, area, and bar charts, `ChartEvent.values` contains each series' datum at that shared key; a missing datum is `undefined`. Scatter, pie, radar, and sparkline use their chart-specific event types.
 
-Explicit config such as `strokeWidth`, `fillOpacity`, or `borderRadius` always wins over these tokens.
+`crosshair` is available on line, area, and scatter charts. By default it shows a vertical guide and snaps the line to the nearest datum. Set `horizontal: true` to add a horizontal guide or `vertical: false` to hide the vertical one. Set `snap: false` to make the guide follow the pointer; tooltip and callback data still come from the nearest datum.
 
-## Scales (Standalone)
+### Keyboard and Announcements
 
-Scales can be used independently for custom visualizations:
+Set `a11y: { ariaLabel }` on an informative chart. Prism gives the SVG `role="img"`, an accessible name, and keyboard focus. Arrow keys move among chart data; `Home` and `End` move to the first and last item where supported; `Enter` or `Space` activates an item when an `onClick` callback is configured; `Escape` clears the active selection. Sparklines do not support keyboard navigation.
 
-```ts
-import { linearScale, timeScale, bandScale } from '@vielzeug/prism';
+When `a11y` is omitted, or set to `{ decorative: true }`, the SVG is marked `aria-hidden="true"` and does not enter the keyboard tab order. Only mark charts decorative when their information is available elsewhere. Interactive cartesian and pie/radar charts use the tooltip as a polite live region when enabled; otherwise they announce active values in `.prism-live`. Sparklines have no live value announcements, so provide an equivalent visible value or summary.
 
-const y = linearScale({ domain: [0, 100], range: [300, 0] });
-y.map(50); // → 150
-y.invert(150); // → 50
-y.ticks(5); // → [0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100]
+## Animation
 
-const x = bandScale({ domain: ['A', 'B', 'C'], range: [0, 300] });
-x.map('B'); // → pixel left edge of band B
-x.bandwidth(); // → width of each band
-```
+Chart motion is enabled by default, with a 300 ms duration per animated lane (radar uses 400 ms). Pass `transition: false` to render updates synchronously, or pass `true` to state the default explicitly.
 
-## Lifecycle and Cleanup
+```ts
+import { createBarChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
 
-Every chart returns a `ChartHandle`. Always call `dispose()` when removing a chart:
+const container = document.createElement('div');
+container.style.cssText = 'width:640px;height:320px';
+document.body.append(container);
 
-```ts
-const chart = createLineChart(container, config);
+const chart = createBarChart(container, {
+  series: [{ data: [{ key: 'A', value: 4 }, { key: 'B', value: 7 }], name: 'Count' }],
+  transition: { duration: 500, easing: 'ease-out', preference: 'system' },
+});
 
-// When done:
 chart.dispose();
-
-// Or with TC39 explicit resource management:
-{
-  using chart = createLineChart(container, config);
-  // auto-disposed at block end
-}
 ```
 
-Calling `dispose()`:
-
-- Cancels in-flight transitions
-- Disconnects the `ResizeObserver`
-- Removes the SVG element, tooltip, and legend from the DOM
-- Restores container styles changed for tooltip positioning
-- Is idempotent: safe to call multiple times
+Columns grow together from their baseline by default over 300 ms. Lines trace their final curve over 420 ms, uncovering point markers along the way without fading or shifting the series. Line data updates retain the default 300 ms geometry transition; an explicit `duration` overrides both timings.
 
-Call `update()` only while the handle is active. Updating a disposed chart throws `PrismRenderError`.
+`preference: 'system'` (the default) disables JavaScript motion when the user prefers reduced motion. Use `'always'` to ignore that preference or `'never'` to disable motion. `stagger` sets an optional delay between bars or radar series; bar charts cap the effective delay so long category axes do not add unbounded time. Named easing values are `ease-in`, `ease-in-out`, `ease-out`, `back-out`, `expo-out`, and `linear`; you can also provide an easing function.
 
-## Responsive Behavior
+## Responsive Layout and Lifecycle
 
-Charts resize automatically when the container dimensions change. Prism uses `ResizeObserver` internally: no manual `resize()` call is needed.
+Size the host with CSS. Prism observes its content box and updates the SVG dimensions and chart layout when it changes. Bar and line resize redraws apply immediately rather than animating between layout sizes; entrance animations and explicit data-update transitions remain enabled. The legend is rendered as container chrome outside the SVG and included in resize calculations.
 
-## Runtime Observation
+Call `dispose()` when the view no longer owns the chart. Disposal is idempotent: it removes the SVG, tooltip, legend, and resize observation, stops in-flight chart motion, and aborts `disposalSignal`. `chart[Symbol.dispose]()` calls the same cleanup method.
 
-Every handle exposes `tap()` to observe runtime behavior — resize and dispose — outside the render path. It reuses the chart's own `ResizeObserver`, so observing costs nothing extra, and handler errors are swallowed: observation never affects chart behavior.
+Use `tap()` when external code needs resize or dispose notifications rather than observing the chart DOM itself:
 
 ```ts
 import { createLineChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
 
+const container = document.createElement('div');
+container.style.cssText = 'width:640px;height:320px';
+document.body.append(container);
+
 const chart = createLineChart(container, {
   series: [{ data: [{ key: 1, value: 10 }], name: 'Revenue' }],
 });
-const controller = new AbortController();
-const unsubscribe = chart.tap(
-  (event) => {
-    if (event.type === 'resize') console.log('resized', event.width, event.height);
-    if (event.type === 'dispose') console.log('disposed');
-  },
-  { signal: controller.signal },
-);
+const stopObserving = chart.tap((event) => {
+  if (event.type === 'resize') console.log(event.width, event.height);
+  if (event.type === 'dispose') console.log('chart disposed');
+});
+
+stopObserving();
+chart.dispose();
 ```
 
-`tap()` returns an unsubscribe function; pass `options.signal` to detach automatically instead. The `resize` event carries the new `width`/`height` and fires after the chart re-laid-out; `dispose` fires once, before teardown completes. Tapping a disposed handle returns a no-op unsubscribe. This is separate from prism's internal validation warnings, which run automatically in development and are never part of the public API.
+`tap()` returns an unsubscribe function and accepts `{ signal }` for automatic unsubscription. A listener exception is swallowed by the observer so it cannot interrupt chart rendering.
 
-## Accessibility
+## Theming
 
-Label informative charts with `a11y: { ariaLabel }`. A labelled chart renders with `role="img"`, is focusable, and supports keyboard navigation. Charts without `a11y` are decorative and render with `aria-hidden="true"`.
+Import the stylesheet once to load Prism's structural styles, default tokens, dark-mode rules, and reduced-motion CSS. You can override any CSS custom property on an ancestor of the chart.
 
-```ts
-createLineChart(container, {
-  a11y: { ariaLabel: 'Revenue by month' },
-  series: [...],
-});
+```css
+.dashboard-chart {
+  --prism-color-1: #2563eb;
+  --prism-color-2: #16a34a;
+  --prism-grid-color: #94a3b8;
+  --prism-line-width: 3;
+  --prism-text-color: #172033;
+  --prism-tooltip-bg: #111827;
+}
 ```
 
-Mark a chart decorative explicitly when surrounding text already states its meaning:
+`setTheme()` provides a typed subset of theme properties. A scoped call writes inline values on the provided element; omit `scope` to write them to `document.documentElement`. Inline values override stylesheet tokens until reset.
 
 ```ts
-createSparkline(container, {
-  a11y: { decorative: true },
-  data: [...],
-});
+import { resetTheme, setTheme } from '@vielzeug/prism';
+
+const container = document.createElement('div');
+container.style.cssText = 'width:640px;height:320px';
+document.body.append(container);
+
+setTheme({ colors: ['#2563eb', '#16a34a'], fontFamily: 'Inter, sans-serif' }, { scope: container });
+// Call resetTheme({ scope: container }) when this scoped theme is no longer needed.
+resetTheme({ scope: container });
 ```
 
-### Keyboard and announcements
+### Available Tokens
 
-Every labelled chart except sparklines shares one keyboard model:
+The stylesheet defines defaults for the following token groups. Pie-label color and size are read with fallback values by the renderer but are not declared in the base token block. Set a token on the chart container or an ancestor to scope an override.
 
-| Chart | Arrow keys move between | `Home` / `End` | Announced |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| Line, area | x positions | First / last position | `1: Adam 3, Eve 6` |
-| Bar | categories | First / last category | `Str: Adam 8, Eve 5` |
-| Pie | slices | First / last slice | `Wins: 15 (75%)` |
-| Radar | axes (wrapping) | Not supported | `Agility: Adam 6, Eve 9` |
+| Group | CSS custom properties |
+| --- | --- |
+| Palette and surfaces | `--prism-color-1` through `--prism-color-8`, `--prism-bg`, `--prism-border-radius` |
+| Axes and grid | `--prism-axis-color`, `--prism-axis-width`, `--prism-grid-color`, `--prism-grid-width`, `--prism-grid-dash`, `--prism-grid-opacity` |
+| Text | `--prism-font-family`, `--prism-font-size`, `--prism-font-size-label`, `--prism-font-size-title`, `--prism-font-weight`, `--prism-font-weight-title`, `--prism-text-color`, `--prism-text-color-secondary` |
+| Tooltip | `--prism-tooltip-bg`, `--prism-tooltip-color`, `--prism-tooltip-border`, `--prism-tooltip-radius`, `--prism-tooltip-padding`, `--prism-tooltip-shadow`, `--prism-tooltip-font-size` |
+| Crosshair | `--prism-crosshair-color`, `--prism-crosshair-width`, `--prism-crosshair-dash`, `--prism-crosshair-opacity` |
+| Points | `--prism-point-radius`, `--prism-point-radius-hover`, `--prism-point-stroke-width`, `--prism-point-stroke` |
+| Bars | `--prism-bar-radius`, `--prism-bar-hover-opacity`, `--prism-bar-gap`, `--prism-bar-band-fill`, `--prism-bar-band-opacity`, `--prism-bar-dim-opacity` |
+| Areas and lines | `--prism-area-opacity`, `--prism-area-stroke-width`, `--prism-area-gradient-start`, `--prism-area-gradient-end`, `--prism-line-width`, `--prism-line-width-hover` |
+| Interaction | `--prism-dim-opacity`, `--prism-active-point-radius`, `--prism-point-ring`, `--prism-focus-color` |
+| Sparklines | `--prism-spark-fill-opacity`, `--prism-spark-gradient-start`, `--prism-spark-gradient-end` |
+| Radar | `--prism-radar-grid-color`, `--prism-radar-grid-opacity`, `--prism-radar-band-fill`, `--prism-radar-band-opacity`, `--prism-radar-spoke-color`, `--prism-radar-fill-opacity`, `--prism-radar-stroke-width`, `--prism-radar-point-radius`, `--prism-radar-point-radius-active`, `--prism-radar-label-color`, `--prism-radar-label-size`, `--prism-radar-value-color`, `--prism-radar-value-size`, `--prism-radar-dim-opacity` |
+| Motion | `--prism-duration-fast`, `--prism-duration`, `--prism-duration-slow`, `--prism-ease`, `--prism-ease-spring`, `--prism-transition`, `--prism-transition-fast` |
+| Legend and pie labels | `--prism-legend-gap`, `--prism-legend-dot-size`, `--prism-legend-font-size`, `--prism-pie-label-color`, `--prism-pie-label-size` |
+
+The default palette and structural colors adapt to `prefers-color-scheme: dark`, `html.dark`, or `[data-prism-theme='dark']` on an ancestor. Scoped inline values set with `setTheme()` take precedence in either mode. The stylesheet also provides `prefers-reduced-motion` overrides for CSS transitions.
 
-The first arrow press focuses the first item. `Enter` or `Space` fires `onClick` for the focused item, and `Escape` clears it. The tooltip speaks the text when one is enabled; otherwise the chart's own `role="status"` region (`.prism-live`) does, so each value is announced once.
+## Errors and Diagnostics
 
-### Hover feedback
+Prism throws `PrismRenderError` when the container is not a DOM element, when initial rendering fails, or when `update()` is called on a disposed chart. A wrapped initial-render error exposes its cause. Use `PrismError` to catch all Prism-originated errors.
 
-The active key is shown the same way on every chart. Line and area charts mark each series' point and dim the series farther from the pointer. Bar charts shade the category band and dim the other categories. Pie charts dim the other slices. Radar charts highlight the active spoke and its points, and dim the other shapes while one is hovered.
+Empty or malformed data is not always an exception. Depending on the chart, Prism may draw nothing or emit a development-only `console.warn`; examples include an unknown `bandScale` category, negative values in stacked bars, and radar axes with fewer than three entries or duplicate keys. Correct the input rather than relying on a warning for validation.
 
 ## Framework Integration
 
-Prism has no framework adapter. Connect the same three operations to your framework's lifecycle: create after mount, update when state changes, and dispose before unmount.
+Prism has no React, Vue, or Svelte adapter. In any framework, give Prism a host element after it is mounted, call `update()` when data changes, and call `dispose()` before the host is removed. This plain DOM pattern shows the ownership boundary without depending on a framework-specific lifecycle API:
 
 ```ts
-import { createLineChart, type ChartHandle, type ContinuousDatum, type LineSeriesConfig } from '@vielzeug/prism';
-
-let chart: ChartHandle | undefined;
-
-export function mountChart(container: HTMLElement, data: ContinuousDatum[]): void {
-  chart = createLineChart(container, { series: [{ data, name: 'Series' }] });
-}
+import { createLineChart, type LineSeriesConfig } from '@vielzeug/prism';
 
-export function updateChart(data: ContinuousDatum[]): void {
-  chart?.update([{ data, name: 'Series' }]);
-}
+function mountChart(host: HTMLElement, series: LineSeriesConfig[]) {
+  const chart = createLineChart(host, { a11y: { ariaLabel: 'Revenue' }, series });
 
-export function unmountChart(): void {
-  chart?.dispose();
-  chart = undefined;
+  return {
+    update(next: LineSeriesConfig[]) {
+      chart.update(next);
+    },
+    dispose() {
+      chart.dispose();
+    },
+  };
 }
-```
-
-## Working with Other Vielzeug Libraries
-
-### With Ripple
 
-Keep state ownership in Ripple and connect it to Prism through an explicit subscription.
-
-```ts
-import { createLineChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
-import { signal } from '@vielzeug/ripple';
-
-const data = signal([{ key: 1, value: 10 }]);
-const toSeries = () => [{ data: data.value, name: 'Series' }];
-const chart = createLineChart(container, { series: toSeries() });
-const unsubscribe = data.subscribe(() => chart.update(toSeries()));
-
-// Cleanup both owners together.
-unsubscribe();
-chart.dispose();
+const host = document.createElement('div');
+host.style.cssText = 'width:640px;height:320px';
+document.body.append(host);
+const view = mountChart(host, [{ data: [{ key: 1, value: 10 }], name: 'Revenue' }]);
+view.update([{ data: [{ key: 1, value: 10 }, { key: 2, value: 15 }], name: 'Revenue' }]);
+view.dispose();
 ```
 
-### With Sourcerer
-
-Bind chart data to a Sourcerer remote source so charts update whenever the list refreshes.
+The application owns its state and host; Prism owns only the SVG, observer, and optional overlay elements it creates.
 
-```ts
-import { createBarChart } from '@vielzeug/prism';
-import { createPageSource } from '@vielzeug/sourcerer';
+## Working with Other Vielzeug Libraries
 
-const source = createPageSource({
-  load: async ({ page, pageSize, signal }) => {
-    const result = await api.stats.list({ page, pageSize }, { signal });
-    return { items: result.data, totalItems: result.total };
-  },
-});
-const toSeries = (state) => [
-  {
-    data: state.items.map((item) => ({ key: item.label, value: item.count })),
-    name: 'Series',
-  },
-];
-const chart = createBarChart(container, { series: toSeries(source.state) });
-const unsubscribe = source.subscribe((state) => chart.update(toSeries(state)));
-void source.reload().catch(() => undefined);
-```
+Use Refine components for dashboard controls and keep Prism in a sized host element. Map Refine theme tokens to Prism CSS custom properties or call `setTheme()` with a scoped element; Prism does not require a Refine adapter. Prism uses Orbit internally to place tooltips, so chart users do not need to create Orbit floating elements for the built-in tooltip.
 
 ## Best Practices
 
-- Ensure the container element has explicit dimensions before calling a chart factory: `ResizeObserver` needs a non-zero layout size to trigger the first render.
-- Call `chart.dispose()` in your framework's unmount/cleanup phase to cancel transitions, disconnect resize observation, and remove DOM nodes.
-- Call `chart.update(data)` from your application state boundary; Prism does not require or own a state library.
-- Set `a11y: { ariaLabel: '…' }` on every chart that conveys meaningful data: unlabelled charts are hidden from assistive technology and receive no keyboard navigation.
-- Observe lifecycle with `chart.tap(handler)` rather than polling `chart.disposed` or wrapping the container: it costs nothing when untapped and detaches via `signal`.
-- For SSR, skip chart creation server-side: Prism depends on DOM APIs and `ResizeObserver`. Render charts only after hydration in a `onMounted`/`useEffect` callback.
+- Give the host a non-zero size before creating a chart.
+- Set `a11y.ariaLabel` when a chart communicates information.
+- Use `Date` or number keys consistently across each line or area chart.
+- Pass the complete new data value to `update()`.
+- Keep chart options fixed after creation; recreate the chart to change them.
+- Dispose the handle when its host leaves the owning view.
+- Use `transition: false` for deterministic synchronous rendering.
+- Prefer CSS custom properties for reusable theme overrides.
