Q: Worklet version of 'getYforX' function

Hi! First of all - thanks for your library - it`s really very great solution!
I have a question about 'getYforX' function realisation.
For example in 'react-native-redash', also from William Candillon - this functions is 'worklet'.
Why didn't you use them also in worklet's maner?
I am calling them from the JS Thread thru Skia, not from a Worklet :)
@mrousavy Thanks for the answer!
Does this mean that these calculations happens in JS Thread instead of native / UI (as it should by using worklets)?

Worklets still run in JS lol. They are not native, it's all JS - it's just a different Thread. RN Skia runs on JS Thread, so I run the calculations on a JS Thread as well.
Got it. So, basically there is no difference between 'worklet' version of getYforX and yours that runs with Skia?
Could you also, please, give me a shortest answer - why this approach (with using Skia) is more fastest and smother than react-native-svg one?
I know there is also Rainbow chart library (https://github.com/rainbow-me/react-native-animated-charts) tries to do the similar things but used Reanimated and SVG
Yea, Skia just renders faster than SVG. It does not create a lot of unnecessary views and is in general just more performant. Try it out for yourself! :)
