Canvas demo

Live @hilum/designer-canvas surface with draggable layers, selection, and toolbar actions.

When To Use

  • Use Canvas demo when you need a composed screen-level pattern and want the structural decisions made before you tune the visuals.
  • Start from the example whose layout and information hierarchy already match the workflow you are building.
  • Review the examples below to compare density, framing, and emphasis before copying one into production code.

When Not To Use

  • Do not use Canvas demo when the page structure is still exploratory; start with smaller primitives if the workflow is not stable yet.
  • Do not copy a full-screen pattern unchanged when only one fragment of the layout is relevant to the task.

Accessibility Notes

  • Maintain heading order and region labels so the surrounding layout stays understandable when styles are stripped away.
  • Avoid using visual grouping alone to explain hierarchy; expose the structure semantically as well.
  • Make sure drag, resize, and reorder interactions have keyboard alternatives when they are part of the core task.
