Minerals Visualization

Generate publication-quality charts for critical minerals data using the cmm_data visualizations module. Supports world production bar charts, production time series, import reliance charts, and multi-commodity comparisons.

Usage

World production chart:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate_chart.py --chart-type production --commodity lithi

Time series:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate_chart.py --chart-type timeseries --commodity cobal

Import reliance:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate_chart.py --chart-type import-reliance --commodity raree

Custom output:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate_chart.py --chart-type production --commodity lithi --output lithium_prod.png --format png

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
--chart-type	Chart type: production, timeseries, import-reliance	Required
--commodity	USGS commodity code (e.g., lithi, cobal, raree, graph, nicke)	Required
--output	Output file path	auto-generated
--format	Image format: png, svg	png
--top-n	Number of countries in production chart	10

Chart Types

Type	Description	Data Source
production	Horizontal bar chart of top producers	USGS world production
timeseries	Line chart of production over time	USGS salient statistics
import-reliance	NIR bar chart with threshold line	USGS salient statistics

USGS Commodity Codes

Code	Commodity	Code	Commodity
lithi	Lithium	cobal	Cobalt
raree	Rare Earths	graph	Graphite
nicke	Nickel	manga	Manganese
galli	Gallium	germa	Germanium
coppe	Copper	tungs	Tungsten

Examples

# Lithium top producers
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate_chart.py --chart-type production --commodity lithi --top-n 10

# Cobalt production time series
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate_chart.py --chart-type timeseries --commodity cobal --output cobalt_trend.png

# Rare earth import reliance (SVG)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate_chart.py --chart-type import-reliance --commodity raree --format svg

Notes

• Requires matplotlib (install with: pip install matplotlib)
• USGS data files must be present in cmm-data data directory
• Output defaults to current directory with auto-generated filename
• SVG format recommended for publications and reports
• For raw data access, use the minerals-data skill
