What are some good canvas libraries for browser JavaScript?
user
There are many great canvas libraries for browser JavaScript. Some popular choices include **D3.js**, **Particles.js**, **Matter.js**, **Paper.js**, **Fabric.js**, **Chart.js**, and **Two.js**. These libraries can help you create interactive graphics, animations, data visualizations, and more. Is there a specific type of project you have in mind?

Write a hello world example, say a circle, on each of these libraries for comparison. State the differences and things that you think are relevant. Also explain how would you set up each of those libraries. And what things to take care in mind.

Here's a basic example of creating a circle with each library, as well as some relevant differences and considerations for each library. To set up each library, you can either download the library files or use a CDN link. Make sure to include the library script tag in the HTML file before your own JavaScript file.

1. D3.js
   Primarily used for data-driven visualizations
   Operates on SVG elements
HTML:
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <script src="https://d3js.org/d3.v7.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <svg width="100" height="100"></svg>
  <script src="your_script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
```
your_script.js:
```javascript
const svg = d3.select("svg");
svg.append("circle")
   .attr("cx", 50)
   .attr("cy", 50)
   .attr("r", 25)
   .attr("fill", "blue");
```
2. Particles.js
   Used to create particle systems and backgrounds
HTML:
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/particles.js/2.0.0/particles.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="particles-js"></div>
  <script src="your_script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
```
your_script.js:
```javascript
particlesJS('particles-js', {
  particles: {
    number: {
      value: 1
    },
    shape: {
      type: 'circle'
    },
    size: {
      value: 25
    }
  }
});
```
3. Matter.js
   Physics-based library, ideal for creating realistic animations
HTML:
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/matter-js/0.17.1/matter.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <canvas id="myCanvas" width="100" height="100"></canvas>
  <script src="your_script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
```
your_script.js:
```javascript
const { Engine, Render, World, Bodies } = Matter;
const engine = Engine.create();
const canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
const render = Render.create({
  canvas: canvas,
  engine: engine,
  options: {
    width: 100,
    height: 100,
    wireframes: false
  }
});

const circle = Bodies.circle(50, 50, 25, { render: { fillStyle: 'blue' } });
World.add(engine.world, [circle]);
Engine.run(engine);
Render.run(render);
```
4. Paper.js
   Vector graphics library, works on a scene graph concept
HTML
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/paper.js/0.12.15/paper-full.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <canvas id="myCanvas" resize></canvas>
  <script src="your_script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
```
your_script.js:

```javascript
paper.setup('myCanvas');
const circle = new paper.Path.Circle(new paper.Point(50, 50), 25);
circle.fillColor = 'blue';
paper.view.draw();
```
5. Fabric.js
Object-based library, manipulates and interacts with canvas elements
HTML:
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fabric.js/4.2.0/fabric.min.js"></script>

</head>
<body>
  <canvas id="myCanvas" width="100" height="100"></canvas>
  <script src="your_script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
```
your_script.js:

```javascript
const canvas = new fabric.Canvas('myCanvas');
const circle = new fabric.Circle({
  left: 25,
  top: 25,
  radius: 25,
  fill: 'blue'
});
canvas.add(circle);
```
6. Chart.js
Primarily used for creating charts and graphs
Not suitable for creating individual shapes like circles

7. Two.js

2D drawing library that supports SVG, Canvas, and WebGL rendering

HTML:
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/two.js/0.7.7/two.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="draw"></div>
  <script src="your_script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
```
your_script.js:
```javascript
const elem = document.getElementById('draw');
const two = new Two({
  width: 100,
  height: 100
}).appendTo(elem);

const circle = two.makeCircle(50, 50, 25);
circle.fill = 'blue';
circle.noStroke();
two.update();
```
Differences and considerations:

1. D3.js is best suited for data-driven visualizations.
2. Particles.js is great for creating particle systems and backgrounds but isn't ideal for more complex graphics.
3. Matter.js focuses on physics-based animations and simulations.
4. Paper.js is a versatile vector graphics library with a scene graph concept.
5. Fabric.js is an object-based library that provides interactivity with canvas elements.
6. Chart.js is tailored for creating charts and graphs and is not suitable for creating individual shapes like circles.
7. Two.js supports various rendering types (SVG, Canvas, and WebGL) and is useful for creating 2D graphics.

Keep in mind the use case, complexity, and specific features of each library when deciding which one to use for your project.

Please let me know if there is anything else that I can assist you with.

Great, now tell me the most practical library for fast writing of websites on JS with libraries.
