Exploded-View Generator
This skill outlines how to generate an exploded-view diagram of a hardware device using Python (e.g., PIL or Matplotlib), particularly for the "Nova" edge device or similar multi-layer hardware.
Diagram Elements
A technical exploded view typically shows hardware layers pulled apart along an isometric axis.
Layers Required (Bottom to Top)
- Outer Casing (Bottom): Base shell.
- PCB (Printed Circuit Board): The logic substrate.
- Battery: Power unit.
- Thermal Management Unit: Heat sink or thermal spreader.
- Interface / Outer Casing (Top): The top cover or user-facing interface.
Generation Guidelines
- Perspective: Use an isometric or pseudo-isometric projection (e.g., drawing parallelograms stacked diagonally to represent layers).
- Styling:
- Apply provided corporate colors (e.g., Anthropic Identity Light for background, Corporate Dark for casing, specific accents for PCB, Thermal, and Interface).
- Include annotation lines (Muted Mid Gray) pointing from the layers to descriptive text.
- Typography: Place the title block in the top-left using the required corporate font.
- Tools:
Pillow (PIL) or Matplotlib can be used to draw shapes. For basic 2D representation, drawing polygons for each layer with offsets along the Y-axis simulates the "exploded" effect.
Output Generation Steps
- Define a canvas with the specified background color.
- Draw a clear Title block in the top-left corner.
- Define polygon coordinates for the isometric layers.
- Draw each layer from back to front (bottom to top), applying the requested fill colors.
- Draw thin annotation lines (
width=1 or width=2) connecting each layer to text labels.
- Render the final image and save it to the specified output path.
