Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tool-inventory scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 220 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Data Visualisation Tool Inventory

This is a curated, purpose-first catalogue. It exists so that when a task arrives, the right tool can be located by jumping to the matching section rather than reasoning from scratch.

This is a guide, not a cage. Every entry here has been validated as a sensible default for its category. If none of them fit, reach for whatever works — but start here, because the categories below cover the overwhelming majority of real-world dataviz work.

How to use

  1. Identify the task's primary purpose from the section headings below (e.g. "Graph / network", "Geospatial maps", "Story-driven animation").
  2. Jump to that section.
  3. Pick from the listed tools — each entry notes the sweet spot.
  4. If nothing in the matching section fits, scan adjacent sections before going off-inventory.

1. Static publication figures (Python / R / C++)

For print, PDF reports, journal figures, Typst embeds — anywhere the output is a high-DPI PNG / SVG / PDF.

Tool Repo Sweet spot
Matplotlib https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib Default for any Python static figure
Seaborn https://github.com/mwaskom/seaborn Statistical plots on top of Matplotlib — distributions, regressions, facets
ggplot2 https://github.com/tidyverse/ggplot2 The R classic; grammar of graphics; default for R workflows
matplotplusplus https://github.com/alandefreitas/matplotplusplus C++ projects needing Matplotlib-style output without Python

2. Interactive web charts — general purpose

For embedding in blog posts, web apps, dashboards, static reports. Canvas or SVG output, runs in the browser.

Tool Repo Sweet spot
Chart.js https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js Simple canvas charts, ubiquitous, low ceremony
Chartist https://github.com/chartist-js/chartist Lightweight, responsive SVG
Apache ECharts https://github.com/apache/echarts Rich built-in chart types, dashboards, annotation-heavy work
ApexCharts https://github.com/apexcharts/apexcharts.js Modern SVG charts with good defaults; easy React/Vue/Angular wrappers
C3 https://github.com/c3js/c3 D3-backed wrapper, straightforward API
charts.css https://github.com/ChartsCSS/charts.css Pure CSS — no JS, great for static/email-safe charts
Plotly.js https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js Scientific chart types in JS; same API as Python Plotly
Highcharts https://github.com/highcharts/highcharts Classic polished charts; ubiquitous; commercial licence for commercial use

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
