"""
Visualization generation for Data360 data.
Fetches series via the Data360 API (``data360.api.get_data_api_url``), builds
Vega-Lite specifications, then persists them either through the optional Charts API
(``charts_api_url``) or as static JSON under ``static/viz_specs/``.
**Public tools**
- ``get_viz_spec`` — one indicator. Uses ``data360.viz_config`` strategy dispatch
to build validated Vega-Lite v5 specs directly.
- ``get_multi_indicator_viz_spec`` — two to four indicators; merges frames and
dispatches multi-series strategies (scatter, layered lines, connected scatter, etc.).
Return shape for both: ``{"url": str|None, "error": str|None, ...}`` plus optional
``database_id``, ``database_name``, ``indicator_id``, ``indicator_name``, optional
``strategy`` / ``reason``, and optional preformatted ``source_line`` /
``subtitle_line`` for clients that only render strings. Before any HTTP
or ``json.dump``, specs are passed through ``_vega_spec_to_json_safe`` so
``data.values`` never contains raw ``pandas.Timestamp`` / numpy scalars that would
break JSON encoding.

After ``_clean_single_df``, columns present in the raw API data that lie

``n_unique > 1`` it creates rows that share the same visualization key
(year × country × breakdowns) but carry different values, producing a
sawtooth / zigzag pattern in line and bar charts.
Resolution strategy
-------------------
1. **Surface**: if a hidden dimension is found with cardinality
≤ *max_cardinality*, add it to ``viz_data`` under the first unused
``comp_breakdown_N`` slot (N ∈ {1, 2, 3}) so that ``select_strategy``
naturally routes it as a chart breakdown dimension.
2. **Aggregate**: if no suitable hidden dimension exists, collapse
duplicate rows to their row-wise mean and return a warning string that
the caller appends to the chart subtitle.
Parameters
----------
viz_data :
DataFrame produced by ``_clean_single_df`` (columns: year, value,
country, and any breakdown dims already surfaced).
raw_data :
Original API response DataFrame — all columns present before cleaning.
max_cardinality :
Maximum number of unique values a hidden dimension may have to be
surfaced as a chart series. Higher-cardinality dims are aggregated.
Returns
-------

"""Generate a Vega-Lite chart from a single Data360 indicator.
Use when the user wants a visualization for ONE indicator. For comparing multiple
indicators (scatter, dual-axis), use data360_get_multi_indicator_viz_spec instead.
## Grammar of Graphics Contract
The pipeline maps data dimensions to Vega-Lite aesthetic channels automatically
(color, facet). DO NOT pre-filter a dimension to simplify the chart — that collapses
multi-series data into a single undifferentiated line and silently discards information.
### disaggregation_filters decision rule
Only pin a dimension when the user has explicitly requested a specific value:
CORRECT — user asked for females only:
disaggregation_filters={"SEX": "F"}
CORRECT — force aggregate totals (suppress breakdown display):
disaggregation_filters={"SEX": "_T"}
CORRECT — dimension is not applicable for this indicator:
disaggregation_filters={"SEX": "_Z"}
WRONG — do not pre-filter to reduce chart complexity:
disaggregation_filters={"COMP_BREAKDOWN_1": "WGI_EST"} # silently drops other series
disaggregation_filters={"SEX": "_T"}
When a dimension has multiple meaningful values and the user has not requested a
specific one, OMIT it from disaggregation_filters entirely. The pipeline will:
- detect non-trivial values (anything other than "_T" or "_Z")
- choose the correct Vega-Lite channel based on data shape (see chart strategy table)
### UNIT_MEASURE must never be pre-filtered
UNIT_MEASURE is a first-class dimension. When an indicator has multiple units
(e.g. Persons + Percentage, or USD + % of GDP), the pipeline automatically
produces a separate panel for each unit with independent Y-axes. Pre-filtering
to one unit (e.g. UNIT_MEASURE="PERSONS") silently discards the other unit and
produces a misleading single-unit chart.
WRONG — do not pick a "preferred" unit:
disaggregation_filters={"UNIT_MEASURE": "PERSONS"} # drops Percentage panel
disaggregation_filters={"UNIT_MEASURE": "PT"} # drops Persons panel
CORRECT — omit UNIT_MEASURE entirely:
disaggregation_filters={} # pipeline creates one panel per unit automatically
Only pin UNIT_MEASURE when the USER explicitly says "show me only percentages" or
"I only want the persons count". In that case, pass the exact code from the
disaggregation response (e.g. "PERSONS", "PT", "USD").
### Chart strategy → Vega-Lite encoding table
The pipeline selects a strategy from the shape of the data after filtering. All
strategies bypass Draco and produce validated Vega-Lite v5 specs directly.
Strategy | When selected | Vega-Lite encoding
----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------
TEMPORAL_SINGLE | multi-year, ≤8 countries, 0-1 breakdowns | x=year(temporal), y=value(Q), color=country or breakdown(N)
CROSS_SECTIONAL | single year, ≤8 countries, no breakdown | y=country(N) sorted, x=value(Q) (horizontal bar)
DISTRIBUTION | single year, >8 countries | x=value(Q), y=country(N) (tick/strip chart)
BREAKDOWN_COMPARISON | 1 breakdown, single year, ≤4 countries | x=country(N), xOffset=breakdown(N), y=value(Q) (grouped bar)
SMALL_MULTIPLES | breakdown + >1 country, OR 2+ breakdowns | facet=country(N), color=breakdown(N), x=year(temporal), y=value(Q)
TEMPORAL_SINGLE* | 1 breakdown (any dim), multi-year | x=year(temporal), y=value(Q), color=breakdown(N) (multi-series line)
HEATMAP | >8 countries, multi-year, 0 breakdowns | x=year(temporal), y=country(N), color=value(Q) (rect grid)
STACKED_AREA | chart_type="area"/"stacked_area", composition Q | x=year(temporal), y=value(Q) stacked, color=breakdown(N)
FALLBACK_LINE | unclassified shapes | x=year(temporal), y=value(Q), color=country(N)
*When comp_breakdown_1/2 has multiple values and year_count > 1, the pipeline routes
to TEMPORAL_SINGLE with color=comp_breakdown_1 — producing one colored line per
breakdown series. This is the correct encoding for WGI, sectoral breakdowns, etc.
### High-cardinality and high-dimensionality guidance
DO NOT reduce country_code or disaggregation_filters to simplify the output.
The pipeline handles high-cardinality data automatically:
| Data shape | Pipeline action |
|-----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------|
| >8 countries, multi-year, 0 breakdowns | Auto-routes to HEATMAP (rect grid) |
| >8 countries + breakdown | SMALL_MULTIPLES, caps at 6 facets |
| Single year, >8 countries | DISTRIBUTION (strip chart), caps at 20 bars |
| ≤8 countries + breakdown, multi-year | TEMPORAL_SINGLE with colored lines per series|
If the LLM passes 3 countries when the user asked for all Sub-Saharan Africa,
the pipeline cannot recover the missing data — it will produce a misleading chart.
Always pass the full country list and let the pipeline decide the correct strategy.
### Visual channel hierarchy (perception accuracy)
Channels are ranked by how accurately viewers read encoded values:
Channel | Type | Used for
------------------|-------------|----------------------------------------
Position (x/y) | Highest | Quantitative values, time axis
Color (hue) | Medium | Nominal categories (country, breakdown)
Color (lightness) | Medium | Quantitative gradient (heatmap cells)
Size | Medium-low | Not used in current strategies
Shape | Low | Not used in current strategies
The pipeline always maps `value` → position (y-axis) and `country`/`breakdown` → color
(hue). Do not override this — a chart that encodes values as colors (instead of y) is
strictly less readable, except in heatmaps where a 2D spatial grid makes position
unavailable for both axes simultaneously.
### Encoding type rules (Vega-Lite v5)
- Year fields: always type="temporal", format="%Y". Do not use "ordinal" for years
— ordinal maps ISO timestamps to raw millisecond integers on the axis.
- Country / breakdown fields: type="nominal"
- Numeric values: type="quantitative"
- Legend titles: derived from _TOOLTIP_SPECS labels (e.g. "Breakdown", not
"Comp_Breakdown_1").
- Color scale: WB categorical palette (9 colors). Gender data uses WB_GENDER_COLORS.
- Heatmap color scale: sequential ("yellowgreenblue") for positive-only data;
divergent ("redblue") when data contains negative values.
Args:
database_id: Database identifier (e.g., WB_HNP, WB_WDI).
indicator_id: Indicator ID (e.g., WB_HNP_SP_POP_TOTL).
country_code: Optional ISO code(s) for REF_AREA — one code, or several separated
by semicolons (e.g. KEN or CHN;USA, matching required_country style) or commas
(also accepted). Normalized to comma-separated for the Data API.
start_year: Optional start year (inclusive).
end_year: Optional end year (inclusive).
disaggregation_filters: Optional dimension filters; each value is str or null, not a list.
Only pin a dimension when the user explicitly requested a specific value. Follow
these exact rules for pre-filtering:
1. COMP_BREAKDOWN_1/2/3: NEVER PRE-FILTER. These contain structural components
(like estimates vs standard errors). Pass them entirely unfiltered and
let the visualization engine map them to the correct panels/colors.
2. Demographic Dimensions (SEX, AGE, URBANISATION, EDUCATION): Pre-filter to
the aggregate total ("_T") by default unless the user explicitly asks for
a breakdown (e.g., "by sex"). If no "_T" exists, leave unfiltered.
3. UNIT_MEASURE: NEVER PRE-FILTER. The pipeline automatically creates
vertically-stacked panels for each unit of measure.
For REF_AREA use comma-separated ISO codes (e.g. 'KEN,TZA');
semicolons in REF_AREA are normalized to commas.
chart_type: Optional hint — "line", "bar", "scatter", "strip", "small_multiples",
"map", "choropleth", "heatmap", "area", "stacked_area". Use to force a specific chart family.
## chart_type decision rule
Only pass "area" or "stacked_area" when the user's question implies
**composition or share over time** — i.e., the series together add up to a
meaningful whole. Typical signal words: "breakdown of", "composition of",
"share of", "proportion", "what portion", "structure of".
CORRECT — user asked about composition:
chart_type="stacked_area" # "Show the age group breakdown in Japan"
chart_type="area" # "What is the composition of electricity by source?"
WRONG — user asked about a trend:
chart_type="area" # "How has GDP changed in Africa?" ← use default
chart_type="stacked_area" # "What is the trend of poverty?" ← use default
For trend questions ("how has X changed?", "show the evolution of Y"), omit
chart_type entirely and let the pipeline choose the correct strategy
(line chart, heatmap, etc.) based on data shape.
relevant_fields: Optional list of column names to include in the chart.
custom_constraints: Deprecated legacy field; ignored by strategy-based specs.
use_default_constraints: If True (default), apply standard encoding heuristics.
chart_title: You MUST provide a custom, human-readable chart title here (e.g., 'Male vs. Female Unemployment'). Do not include chart types (e.g. 'Heatmap', 'Line Chart') in the title, as the strategy engine may override the requested chart type based on data cardinality. Do not leave this blank.
series_labels: Optional. A dictionary mapping raw dimension codes or
auto-resolved labels to short, human-readable names for legends and
panel titles (e.g., {"WGI_EST": "Estimate", "WGI_SC": "Score"}).
The pipeline already handles two cases automatically:
- Code → label resolution: COMP_BREAKDOWN, SEX, AGE, URBANISATION,
UNIT_MEASURE codes are resolved to full labels via the extdataportal
codelist (e.g. "IPC_IPC_PHASE1" → full phase name).
- Common-prefix stripping: when all values in a dimension share a
long common prefix, the prefix is stripped automatically, leaving
only the unique suffix (e.g. all IPC phase labels share
"Severity Phase of Acute Food Insecurity or Malnutrition : " —
it is stripped so the legend shows "Phase 1 - Minimal" etc.).
Use series_labels only when the auto-resolved labels are still too
long or unclear after prefix stripping — typically for heterogeneous
dimensions like WGI breakdowns where each label describes a
structurally different metric (e.g. "Standard error of the governance
estimate" → "Std Error", "Governance score (0-100)" → "Score").
Returns:
Dict with the following fields:
url (str | None): Browser-accessible URL to the rendered Vega-Lite spec. None on error.
error (str | None): Error message. None on success.
strategy (str): Strategy selected by the pipeline (e.g. "small_multiples", "temporal_single").
reason (str): Human-readable explanation of why that strategy was chosen.
dimensions (dict[str, list[str]] | None): Non-trivial categorical dimensions present
in the plotted data, each mapped to its distinct resolved values (human-readable labels,
not raw codes). Example: {"unit_measure": ["Persons", "Percentage"],
"comp_breakdown_2": ["Phase 1 - Minimal", "Phase 2 - Stressed"]}.
When present, narrate what was plotted and how each dimension was encoded
(color, facet, or filtered). Then offer the user the option to re-call with
disaggregation_filters pinned to a specific value if they want to focus on
one breakdown (e.g. {"UNIT_MEASURE": "PT"} for percentage only).
The pipeline handles encoding automatically per Grammar of Graphics rules —
dimensions here are informational so you can explain the chart, not instructions
to re-encode manually.
data_summary (dict | None): Structural summary of the plotted data:
- shape: [n_rows, n_cols] — total observations and columns in the chart data.
- year_range: [first_year, last_year] as strings.
- countries: sorted list of country names in the chart.
- value.min / value.max: numeric range of the plotted values (4 decimal places).
- value.has_negatives: True if the value axis includes negative numbers.
Use this to narrate scale, scope, and coverage (e.g. "data spans 2000–2022
across 3 countries, values ranging from 0.2% to 87.4%").
source_line (str): Formatted attribution string.
subtitle_line (str | None): Subtitle with strategy and warning info for the chart.

"""Generate a Vega-Lite chart comparing multiple Data360 indicators.
REQUIRED for success: indicator_ids (2–4 entries). Call data360_search_indicators first,
then pass each series as {"database_id": "...", "indicator_id": "..."}. If you omit
indicator_ids or pass fewer than 2 entries, this tool returns {"error": "..."} — fix
the arguments and call again (do not rely on country_code alone).
Use for: scatterplots (2 indicators vs each other), layered/dual-axis line charts
(2-3 indicators over time in one country), connected scatter (trajectory charts).
## Grammar of Graphics Contract
The pipeline maps data dimensions to Vega-Lite aesthetic channels automatically.
DO NOT pre-filter a dimension to simplify the chart — that collapses multi-series
data into a single undifferentiated line and silently discards information.
### disaggregation_filters decision rule
disaggregation_filters applies to ALL indicators in this call. Only pin a dimension
when the user has explicitly requested a specific value. Follow these exact rules:
1. COMP_BREAKDOWN_1/2/3: NEVER PRE-FILTER. These contain structural phases or
statistical components (e.g. Estimate vs Standard Error). Pass them entirely
unfiltered and let the visualization engine map them to separate panels/colors.
(e.g. DO NOT filter {"COMP_BREAKDOWN_1": "WGI_EST"} just to simplify the chart).
2. Demographic Dimensions (SEX, AGE, URBANISATION, EDUCATION): Pre-filter to the
aggregate total ("_T") by default unless the user explicitly asks for a breakdown.
- "What is unemployment?" -> filter {"SEX": "_T"}
- "Unemployment by sex" -> OMIT the filter so the engine colors them.
If there is no "_T" available, leave it unfiltered.
3. UNIT_MEASURE: NEVER PRE-FILTER. The pipeline automatically creates vertically-stacked
panels for each unit of measure. Omitting this filter is the only way to generate
multi-unit comparison charts.
### Chart strategy → Vega-Lite encoding table
Strategy | When selected | Vega-Lite encoding
----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------
CORRELATION | 2 indicators, >1 country, single year | x=indicator1(Q), y=indicator2(Q), color=country(N) (scatter)
CORRELATION_TEMPORAL | 2 indicators, >1 country, multi-year | x=indicator1(Q), y=indicator2(Q), color=country(N), order=year (connected scatter)
TEMPORAL_MULTI_IND | 2-4 indicators, 1 country or 3+ indicators | layered lines, independent y-scales per indicator
STACKED_AREA | chart_type="area"/"stacked_area", composition Q | x=year(temporal), y=value(Q) stacked, color=indicator(N)
### High-cardinality guidance
DO NOT reduce indicator_ids or disaggregation_filters to simplify the output.
Pass the full set of indicators the user asked about. The pipeline will:
- Merge all indicator series into a single aligned DataFrame
- Auto-select the correct strategy (scatter, layered lines, stacked area)
- Cap series count if needed and annotate the subtitle with a trim note
### Visual channel hierarchy (perception accuracy)
Channels are ranked by how accurately viewers read encoded values:
Channel | Type | Used for
------------------|-------------|----------------------------------------
Position (x/y) | Highest | Quantitative values, time axis
Color (hue) | Medium | Nominal categories (country, indicator)
Color (lightness) | Medium | Not used for multi-indicator charts
Size / Shape | Low | Not used in current strategies
The pipeline always maps quantitative values → position (y-axis) and nominal
categories → color (hue). Do not override this with custom disaggregation_filters.
### Encoding type rules (Vega-Lite v5)
- Year fields: type="temporal", format="%Y". Never "ordinal" for years.
- Country / breakdown fields: type="nominal"
- Numeric values: type="quantitative", scale.zero=False for non-ratio data
- Multi-indicator layers: each indicator gets its own y-axis (left/right), its own
WB categorical color. Resolved with resolve.scale.y="independent".
- Connected scatter uses order channel (order=year, type=temporal) to draw
trajectory lines in chronological order.
Args:
indicator_ids: List of dicts, each with "database_id" and "indicator_id".
Example: [
{"database_id": "WB_WDI", "indicator_id": "WB_WDI_NY_GDP_PCAP_KD"},
{"database_id": "WB_WDI", "indicator_id": "WB_WDI_SP_DYN_LE00_IN"}
]
country_code: Optional ISO code(s): one code or semicolon-separated (e.g. KEN;MAR)
or comma-separated; normalized for the Data API like data360_get_data.
start_year: Optional start year (inclusive).
end_year: Optional end year (inclusive).
disaggregation_filters: Optional filters applied to ALL indicators; values are str or null.
See grammar of graphics contract above — only pin a dimension when the user
explicitly requested a specific value. Omitting a dimension fetches all values
and lets the pipeline choose the correct Vega-Lite channel automatically.
REF_AREA uses comma-separated ISO codes (semicolons normalized to commas).
chart_type: Optional hint — "scatter", "connected_scatter", "layered_lines",
"stacked_area", "map", "choropleth", etc. Used to guide the underlying ChartStrategy. If omitted, auto-selected by data shape.
## chart_type decision rule
Only pass "area" or "stacked_area" when the user's question implies
**composition or share over time** — i.e., the multiple indicators together
add up to a meaningful whole (e.g., age groups summing to total population,
electricity sources summing to total generation).
Typical signal words: "breakdown of", "composition of", "share of",
"proportion", "structure of".
CORRECT — user asked about composition across multiple indicators:
chart_type="stacked_area" # "Show the age group breakdown in Japan"
WRONG — user asked about a trend:
chart_type="area" # "How has GDP and poverty changed?" ← use default
For trend or comparison questions, omit chart_type and let the pipeline
select the correct strategy (layered lines, scatter, etc.).
chart_title: You MUST provide a custom, human-readable chart title here (e.g., 'Electricity Mix by Source'). Do not include chart types (e.g. 'Heatmap', 'Line Chart') in the title, as the strategy engine may override the requested chart type based on data cardinality. Do not leave this blank.
series_labels: Optional. A dictionary mapping indicator IDs to short,
human-readable labels (e.g., {"WB_WDI_EG_ELC_HYRO_ZS": "Hydro"}).
Provide this to shorten long auto-generated indicator names in legends.
Returns:
Dict with "url" (chart URL on success), "error" (on failure),
"strategy" (which chart type was chosen), "warning" (if applicable).
