In plain words

Isomer is a JavaScript library for drawing isometric graphics on HTML5 Canvas. It provides tools to create and manipulate 3D shapes like prisms and cubes using isometric projection, with support for positioning via coordinates and customizing dimensions. Developers can use classes like Shape, Point, and Color to build isometric visualizations programmatically. The library simplifies the process of rendering geometric objects in isometric perspective.

From the sources

Isomer allows you to draw isometric graphics with ease. Let's draw a simple cube. Here is the same cube overlayed with a 3D grid. This is how objects look under an isometric projection. After a couple clever renames, we add a Shape.Prism to our scene. The first argument is the position of our shape. In this case, we use new Point(0, 0, 0) to place the cube at the origin. ( Note: we can also use Point.ORIGIN ) We can also specify a width, length, and height of our prism, but these all default to 1. Isomer contains a number of smaller classes, including Shape, Point, and Color. Instead of writing out "Isomer.Point" many times, I will often use the pattern "var Point = Isomer.Point" (for…from jdan.github.io
