FAQ
Is this part of Pele? No. It is an unofficial add-on, not affiliated with or endorsed by the Pele or Obsidian teams. Pele does the layout and drawing; pele-animate adds step order, step-by-step playback and icons on top.
Why not just use Pele? Pele alone draws a static diagram. Use it directly if that is enough. pele-animate is for diagrams you want to explain in order.
Is it a theme? No. It does not offer visual styles beyond a simple scene frame and light/dark colors you can override.
Why not Mermaid.js? Pele is much smaller and renders synchronously. pele-animate is built on Pele, so it follows that choice.
Does it work with server rendering? Mount it on the client (recipes). Static site generators are fine.
How big is it? The core (pele-animate.js plus CSS) is about 20 KB unminified. Icon packs are separate modules, so you only
ship the categories you import (the largest, system, is about 199 KB unminified).
Which diagrams does it support? Flowcharts, sequence diagrams, architecture diagrams, state diagrams, C4 context, block, class and ER diagrams, timelines, journeys, git graphs and Gantt charts (diagram types).
Can I use my own icons? Yes (custom icons).
