## What is G6
[G6](https://github.com/antvis/g6) is a graph visualization engine, which provides a set of basic mechanisms, including rendering, layout, analysis, interaction, animation, and other auxiliary tools. G6 aims to simplify the relationships, and help people to obtain the insight of relational data.

Developers are able to build graph visualization **analysis** applications or graph visualization **modeling** applications easily.

- Style and animation standards, supports level of details (see the graph below);
- Beautiful Built-in Theme and cound be customized (see the graph below);
- Layouts with Great Performance: More than 10 layout algorithms, supports GPU and Rust parallel computing, and custom layouts;
- Steerable Interactions: More than 10 basic interaction behaviors ;
- Friendly User Experience: Complete documents for different levels of user requirements. TypeScript supported.
- Multiple renderers: Canvas, SVG, WebGL;
- 3D Graph:

> Built-in Themes and Custom Themes
<img src="https://mdn.alipayobjects.com/huamei_qa8qxu/afts/img/A*x7NTT5_baKYAAAAAAAAAAAAADmJ7AQ/original" width=400 height=218 alt='' />
> Seven Types of Plugins
- (TODO: migrate from v4) Abundant Built-in Items: Nodes and edges with free configurations;
- (TODO: migrate from v4) Convenient Components: Outstanding ability and performance;
G6 concentrates on the principle of 'good by default'. In addition, the custom mechanism of the item, interation behavior, and layout satisfies the customazation requirements.
