Velo Plot — Legacy Roadmap (historical) Original document version: 1.6.2Original date: 2026-01-13Editorial update: 2026-07-10 (English + status reconciled with Stage 0–5 audit)Status: Historical reference only
Executive summary This document was the ~39-feature proposal (8 categories, 4 phases) to grow velo-plot as a native scientific charting library (no third-party charting dependencies).
What follows is the historical catalog of that proposal, with reconciled status against the real codebase and PLUGIN-STATUS as of v3.0.0 .
Legend (reconciled status) Meaning Done Available and usable in production / release Partial Exists, with documented gaps Experimental Opt-in, stub, or paused backend Not done Never implemented or cancelled Absorbed Covered by Stages 0–6 under a different shape / name
How to read this file Code samples are illustrative of the original proposal ; the real API may differ (see current docs). The original “Phase 1–4 at 100%” tables were not reliable ; they are corrected below. For new work, always use docs/roadmap/ . Library status (2026-07 context, not 2026-01) Architecture Component Real status Notes WebGL2 renderer Done High-performance 2D engine Plugin system Done Modular; see status registry React (+ Vue/Svelte/Solid/Angular/Astro) Done Stage 4 DX 3D rendering Done Plugin3D / velo-plot/scientificStreaming Done WebSocket + backpressure Multi-pane / trading Done createStackedChart, velo-plot/tradingWebGPU Experimental Opt-in; WebGL2 default Sync via PluginSync Experimental Deprecated stub → use ChartGroup (removed in v4)

Category 7 — Advanced scientific visualization # Feature Reconciled status Notes 29 Error bars / box plots Done (error bars) Box plots not a separate priority item 30 Ternary charts Done — 31 Contours / isolines Done Analysis / 3D depending on case
Category 8 — Publication & presentation # Feature Reconciled status Notes 32 LaTeX rendering Done Native plugin 33 Publication themes Partial / Absorbed Themes + ThemeEditor; no closed “Nature” package 34 Broken axes Done PluginBrokenAxis35 ROI selection Done PluginROI36 Drag & drop editing Done PluginDragEdit37 Python bindings Not done / external Not part of the current web npm package 38 WASM zero-copy bridge Partial / Experimental Workers / TypedArrays; not the Rust bridge as described 39 Native video recording Done PluginVideoRecorder
Phased plan (original proposal → reality) The original document marked phases as “100% complete” . That was not true at API/quality level. Honest mapping:
Feature Original claim Reality PluginDataExport Complete Done PluginContextMenu Complete Done Polar Charts Complete Done PluginAnomalyDetection Complete Done PluginAccessibility Cancelled Absorbed later in Stage 4 (a11y)
Phase 2 — v1.8.x (extended analysis) Feature Original claim Reality PluginMLIntegration Complete Partial PluginPatternRecognition Complete Partial PluginRegression Complete Done Radar / Snapshot / LaTeX / Ternary Complete Done (SVG snapshot partial)
Feature Original claim Reality PluginOffscreen Complete Partial LazyLoad / Virtualization / Caching Complete Done ROI / Broken axis / DragEdit / Video Complete Done Contours Complete Done
Phase 4 — v1.10.x (“next generation”) Feature Original claim Reality Collaboration / Voice Cancelled Not done PluginForecasting Complete Done (native methods; not Prophet/LSTM) Gauge / Sankey Complete Done Python bindings / WASM bridge Complete Not as describedVideo Complete Done
Infrastructure & DX (original checklist) Item Reconciled status Vitest tests Done Benchmarks Done (CI warning mode) TypeDoc Not a priority (VitePress) Storybook Not done Playwright E2E Done Plugin scaffolding CLI Done (Stage 4) VS Code snippets Partial / optional Online playground Done (templates / docs) TypeScript strict Done (public any cleanup → post-v3 polish) Strict SemVer Done (CONTRIBUTING policy; v3.0.0) Document breaking changes Done (CHANGELOG , migration-v3 )
Metrics the legacy plan proposed KPI Jan 2026 proposal Jul 2026 notes 10M points @ 60 FPS Goal Verified via Stage 1 benchmarks (do not assume the old claim) Lighthouse a11y > 90 Goal Stage 4 improvements; measure per app Less boilerplate Goal Covered by React/StackedPlot / addIndicator npm / stars Adoption goal Out of scope for this file
Conclusion (updated) The legacy roadmap was an early-2026 wish list . Much of it shipped, but the document overstated completeness (stubs, partial APIs, misleading WebGPU/PluginSync).
The official path is:
Stage Theme Version 0 API honesty audit v1.13–v1.15 1 Engine / virtualization / workers v1.16–v1.19 2 Trading experience v2.0+ 3 Scientific depth v2.x 4 React / DX / frameworks v2.2–v2.9 5 Stable platform v3.0.0 6 SVG vector parity v4.0
