Plot

Generate a data visualization by producing and executing a Python script (Matplotlib/Seaborn) based on the prompt, surrounding context, and a referenced data file.

Input

• File path: the file being processed.
• Surrounding text: the paragraph or block where the <@plot: ...> tag appears.
• Prompt: description of the desired visualization, including chart type, styling, and any specific formatting instructions.

Workflow

1. Read the surrounding text and prompt.
2. Identify the data file from the prompt's context references ( ``). Read the data file to understand its structure (columns, types, number of rows).
3. Identify the output path from the prompt's context references. If none is specified, save the plot in the same directory as the source file with a name derived from the prompt (e.g., plot_completion_time.png).
4. Generate a self-contained Python script that:
   • Reads the data file (using pandas for CSV/TSV/Excel, or appropriate libraries for other formats).
   • Produces the requested visualization using matplotlib and/or seaborn.
   • Applies any styling or formatting instructions from the prompt.
   • Saves the figure to the output path with dpi=300 and bbox_inches='tight'.
5. Execute the script in a single Bash command:

   python -c "
   <generated script here>
   "
   

6. Verify the output file was created.
7. Replace the <@plot: ...> tag with a format-appropriate image reference:
   • Markdown (.md): ![description](output_path.png)
   • LaTeX (.tex): \includegraphics{output_path.png}
   • other format, try to determine by yourself.

Context References

The prompt may contain context references wrapped in double backticks ( ``). These point to external resources.

• As data source: The reference points to the data file to visualize. E.g., <@plot: bar chart using ``data/results.csv``> -- read data/results.csv as the input data.
• As output path: The reference specifies where to save the generated plot. E.g., <@plot: line chart, save to ``figures/trend.png``> -- save the plot to figures/trend.png.
• Resolve references relative to the source file's directory unless an absolute path is given.
• Remove the delimiters from the output.
• If the input tag does not contain any context reference, ask user the elaborate.
