Crate starsight 

starsight — a unified scientific visualization crate for Rust.

starsight is the only crate users add to Cargo.toml. It re-exports types from the seven layer crates underneath through three access patterns:

1. The prelude — use starsight::prelude::*; for the common types.
2. By category — use starsight::marks::LineMark;, use starsight::backends::SkiaBackend;.
3. By layer — use starsight::components::marks::LineMark; (Latin layer aliases).

use starsight::prelude::*;

fn main() -> starsight::Result<()> {
    plot!(&[1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0], &[10.0, 20.0, 15.0, 25.0]).save("chart.png")
}

Re-exports

pub use starsight_layer_1 as background;

Enums

Edge

Legend placement enum re-exports — Edge, LegendPosition (with Auto / Inside / Outside(Edge) variants). Used via Figure::legend_position(...). Tracked as Epic L (starsight-3bp.10.11). Which edge of the plot area to reserve for LegendPosition::Outside.

LegendPosition

Legend placement enum re-exports — Edge, LegendPosition (with Auto / Inside / Outside(Edge) variants). Used via Figure::legend_position(...). Tracked as Epic L (starsight-3bp.10.11). Where the legend sits relative to the plot area.

StarsightError

Top-level error enum re-export. All failure modes of the rendering and data pipeline.

Type Aliases

Result

Workspace Result<T, StarsightError> alias.
