Hello,

Not exactly a Kibana question,  
But I'm looking for a chart library for a project I'm working on.

Looking at the source of Kibana,  
This is a chart library, that Kibana uses:

> **[Storybook](https://elastic.github.io/elastic-charts/)**

but it seems, that the elatic-ui team is writing more charts controls:  
[https://elastic.github.io/eui/#/elastic-charts/time-series](https://elastic.github.io/eui/#/elastic-charts/time-series)

what's the difference, and is the first one going to be removed eventually?

thanks

The EUI example is using elastic-charts under the hood - `elastic-charts` is the go-to charting lib for Kibana (and we are actively working on porting all visualizations over).

EUI is just providing a theme for elastic-charts (mostly a set of color configurations)
