7 CSS Data Visualization Examples
Move away from canvas - here we build robust visualization systems based on CSS Grid and Flexbox.

You will see techniques for axis alignment, legend creation, and scale management using solely declarative CSS properties. These patterns ensure excellent accessibility and SEO, as the data remains in the DOM in a readable format.
