Chart Visualization Skill
This skill provides a comprehensive workflow for transforming data into visual charts. It handles chart selection, parameter extraction, and image generation.
Workflow
To visualize data, follow these steps:
1. Intelligent Chart Selection
Analyze the user's data features to determine the most appropriate chart type. Use the following guidelines (and consult references/ for detailed specs):
- Time Series: Use
generate_line_chart (trends) or generate_area_chart (accumulated trends). Use generate_dual_axes_chart for two different scales.
- Comparisons: Use
generate_bar_chart (categorical) or generate_column_chart. Use generate_histogram_chart for frequency distributions.
- Part-to-Whole: Use
generate_pie_chart or generate_treemap_chart (hierarchical).
- Relationships & Flow: Use
generate_scatter_chart (correlation), generate_sankey_chart (flow), or generate_venn_chart (overlap).
- Maps: Use
generate_district_map (regions), generate_pin_map (points), or generate_path_map (routes).
- Hierarchies & Trees: Use
generate_organization_chart or generate_mind_map.
- Specialized:
generate_radar_chart: Multi-dimensional comparison.generate_funnel_chart: Process stages.generate_liquid_chart: Percentage/Progress.generate_word_cloud_chart: Text frequency.generate_boxplot_chart or generate_violin_chart: Statistical distribution.generate_network_graph: Complex node-edge relationships.generate_fishbone_diagram: Cause-effect analysis.generate_flow_diagram: Process flow.generate_spreadsheet: Tabular data or pivot tables for structured data display and cross-tabulation.
2. Parameter Extraction
Once a chart type is selected, read the corresponding file in the references/ directory (e.g., references/generate_line_chart.md) to identify the required and optional fields.
Extract the data from the user's input and map it to the expected args format.
3. Chart Generation
Invoke the scripts/generate.py script with a JSON payload.
Payload Format:
{
"tool": "generate_chart_type_name",
"args": {
"data": [...],
"title": "...",
"theme": "...",
"style": { ... }
}
}
Execution Command:
python ./scripts/generate.py '<payload_json>'
4. Result Return
The script will output the URL of the generated chart image.
Return the following to the user:
- The image URL.
- The complete
args (specification) used for generation.
Reference Material
Detailed specifications for each chart type are located in the references/ directory. Consult these files to ensure the args passed to the script match the expected schema.
