Plotly Visualization Skill

Overview

This skill provides comprehensive visualization capabilities using both Plotly (interactive) and Matplotlib (static) backends. It enables generation of line plots, scatter plots, polar plots, bar charts, timelines, and multi-series visualizations from pandas DataFrames with YAML-driven configuration.

Key Components

Visualization Class (visualizations.py)

Main matplotlib-based visualization engine:

generate_time_line(data, plt_settings) - Create timeline visualizations from DataFrame
from_df_array(df_array, plt_settings) - Plot multiple DataFrames as array
from_df_columns(df, plt_settings) - Generate line, scatter, polar, or bar plots from DataFrame columns

VisualizationTemplatesPlotly (visualization_templates_plotly.py)

Plotly template generator for interactive charts:

get_xy_line_df(custom_analysis_dict) - XY line plot templates
get_x_datetime_input_plotly(custom_analysis_dict) - DateTime-based plot templates

Specialized Modules

visualization_xy.py - XY coordinate plotting
visualization_polar.py - Polar coordinate systems
visualization_common.py - Shared utilities

Usage Patterns

YAML Configuration Structure

visualization:
  type: line  # line, scatter, polar, bar
  x_column: timestamp
  y_columns:
    - value1
    - value2
  title: "Analysis Results"
  interactive: true  # Use Plotly vs Matplotlib

Common Workflows

Line Plot from DataFrame: Load CSV/Excel → Configure columns → Generate plot
Multi-Series Visualization: Prepare df_array → Set plt_settings → Render combined plot
Timeline Generation: DataFrame with dates → generate_time_line() → Export
