+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+

+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity

+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the

+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding any notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

+  onClick={(datum, { x, y }) => {
+    console.log(`Clicked ${datum.region}: $${datum.revenue}`)
+    setSelectedRegion(datum.region)
+  }}
+/>
+```
+
+Key props: `onClick` receives the original datum and pixel coordinates. Works on all chart types.
+

+
+## Linked Crosshair (Multi-chart Hover Sync)
+
+### Synced crosshair across time-series charts
+
+```jsx

+<LinkedCharts>
+  <LineChart
+    data={cpuData}
+    xAccessor="time" yAccessor="cpu"
+    linkedHover={{ name: "metrics", mode: "x-position", xField: "time" }}
+    selection={{ name: "metrics" }}

+    xAccessor="time" yAccessor="memory"
+    linkedHover={{ name: "metrics", mode: "x-position", xField: "time" }}
+    selection={{ name: "metrics" }}
+  />
+</LinkedCharts>
+```
+
+Key props: `linkedHover` with `mode: "x-position"` broadcasts the hovered X value. Each chart shows its own tooltip with its own Y values. Use for multi-metric dashboards.
+
+---
+
+## Category Format (Custom Tick Labels)
+
+### Truncated category labels
+
+```jsx
+import { BarChart } from "semiotic/ai"
+
+<BarChart
+  data={data}
+  categoryAccessor="department"
+  valueAccessor="headcount"
+  orientation="horizontal"
+  categoryFormat={(label) => label.length > 12 ? label.slice(0, 12) + "…" : label}
+/>
+```
+
+Key props: `categoryFormat` receives each tick label and returns a formatted string. Available on all ordinal HOCs except Pie/Donut.
+
+---
+
+## Ordinal Annotations
+
+### Threshold + category highlight on BarChart
+
+```jsx
+import { BarChart } from "semiotic/ai"
+
+<BarChart
+  data={quarterlyData}
+  categoryAccessor="quarter"
+  valueAccessor="revenue"
+  annotations={[
+    { type: "y-threshold", value: 50000, label: "Target", color: "#e45050", labelPosition: "left" },
+    { type: "category-highlight", category: "Q3 2024", color: "#4589ff", opacity: 0.15, label: "Current" },
+  ]}
+/>
+```
+
+Key props: `y-threshold` works on vertical ordinal charts. `category-highlight` highlights a category column. `labelPosition` controls label placement.
