Line · Python a4
Three named series, 25 observations each. Open circles, squares and triangles carry identity; every line is solid.
Current public alpha / alpha.5
Same series.
Persistent identity.
Scientific line figures with color + marker identity across Python and browser surfaces, matching line-and-marker legends, and optional direct labels that reuse the same body identity.
Python 0.9.0a4
Browser 0.9.0-alpha.5
Coordinated prerelease ↗
Published October 4, 2026. These examples use the exact registry releases; earlier specimens keep their original version labels. Read the maintenance release notes.

Made with a4 / alpha.5.
Five Python plotters and one browser line. Deterministic synthetic data, not scientific findings. Open PNGs or SVGs at native size.
Line · browser alpha.5
The same values rendered independently in Ultraviolet Laboratory. Settled Canvas, with an SVG export alongside it.
Scatter · Python a4
Ten paired observations per group; no fitted model. Color identifies A and B; the marker treatment is the published scatter default.
Histogram · Python a4
Shared bins cover all 15 observations per dataset. Vertical rules mark full-data medians: A 0.7, B 1.3.
Strip summary · Python a4
Nine observations per group, deterministic jitter and group medians. The authored [0,2] domain leaves space for a4 count labels inside the plot.
Heatmap · Python a4
Four conditions by six samples. Sequential fill encodes response (a.u.) from 0.05 to 1.0, with a colorbar.

Python uses Lavender Fog Notebook; the browser line uses Ultraviolet Laboratory. Reduced previews are not readability qualification. These examples do not include unreleased footer/count-layout, safe-save or browser band changes. The Python and browser renderers share selected semantics, not identical output or coverage.
01
Same series, two label treatments.
Retained a2/alpha.3 examples: persistent circle, square and upright-triangle identities with matching line-and-marker legends. The paired direct-label views reuse that identity. These synthetic product examples are not a4/alpha.5 renders and do not expand the reference-theme designation.
Lavender Fog Notebook · Python 0.9.0a2
Ordinary legend · 1008 × 624, 120 dpi. Open for native size.
Same figure with optional direct labels
Ultraviolet Laboratory · Canvas 0.9.0-alpha.3
Ordinary legend · 760 × 520 CSS/raster, DPR 1. Open for native size.
Same figure with optional direct labels
The converging observations remain close; direct labels separate names, not observations. Each pair keeps its data and output dimensions fixed. Python and Canvas share identity semantics, not pixel-identical rendering. Page reductions are previews, not readability qualification. Unsupported direct-label layouts retain the ordinary legend.
02
Three identities, two reference themes.
The default first-three-series line profile uses S1 open circle, S2 open square and S3 open upright triangle. Lines remain solid and equal in semantic weight. Color + shape carry identity; line rhythm stays available for independent scientific semantics.
Lavender Fog Notebook · reference light
A documented exemplar of the bounded three-series line profile. The retained a2 Python specimen above demonstrates matching line + marker + label legends, with own-line-only clipping beneath open markers.
Ultraviolet Laboratory · reference dark
The independently authored dark exemplar for the same bounded profile. The retained alpha.3 terminal-Canvas specimen demonstrates the same identity semantics through its own rendering implementation.
Python series_slots carries identity through supported filtering/reordering. Browser keyed setData updates retain established identity and partial overrides; setConfig remains a replacement/reset boundary.
Opt in with Python direct_labels=True or browser style.directLabels: true. The one-panel, 2–3-series treatment supports single-line printable ASCII labels. Unsupported geometry/text or insufficient fit restores the entire ordinary legend. Active browser transitions use ordinary treatment until settled; exports without trustworthy measurement keep the ordinary legend.
“Reference” means an evidence-backed exemplar for the documented rendering conditions, not universal qualification or a default-theme change. Close or overlapping observations may remain difficult to distinguish. No universal accessibility, CVD-user, physical-print, six-series or arbitrary reduced-size readability claim is made. Read the reference profile and its limits.
03
Start with the current packages.
Python and browser implementations share a figure-contract vocabulary, not pixel-identical output or identical coverage.

04
Inspect the current scope.
Reproducible product examples and explicit contracts. These deterministic synthetic figures are demonstrations, not scientific findings or a new qualification campaign.
Retained a2/alpha.3 specimen provenance
Original package versions and hashes, deterministic 29-observation trajectories, Python/Canvas runtime facts, identical within-runtime pair inputs, and four exact image hashes.
Bounded reference-theme evidence
Recorded normal-color and grayscale inspection at declared sizes. The designation does not extend to every plot family, semantic token, density or override.
Rendered-series contrast
The explicit single-layer audit takes the actual substrate, opacity and compositing facts. Static palette inspection alone is not a measurement of the rendered figure; neither audit is a whole-figure visibility guarantee.
Direct-label contract
Actual body identity, final authored observations, bounded placement and whole-treatment ordinary-legend fallback. Real text measurement and geometry determine local fit.
Archive
Earlier alpha, retained.
The previous Slipware hero, six-theme palette catalog, old installation examples and Evidence Atlas remain available as historical material. They are not current-alpha specimens or current qualification evidence.
