Quick Start
import plotly.express as px
import pandas as pd
from pathlib import Path
from datetime import datetime
# Load data
df = pd.read_csv("../data/processed/results.csv")
# Create visualization
fig = px.line(df, x="date", y="value", title="Analysis Results")
html = f"""
Path("../reports/analysis.html").write_text(html) print("Report generated: reports/analysis.html")
## When to Use
- Creating analysis reports with charts and visualizations
- Building interactive dashboards from CSV/data sources
- Generating technical documentation with plots
- Producing client-deliverable HTML reports
- Summarizing engineering calculations with graphics
## Report Structure
### Standard Sections
1. **Header** - Title, date, project info, version
2. **Executive Summary** - Key findings and metrics at a glance
3. **Methodology** - Analysis approach and assumptions
4. **Results** - Data tables and interactive visualizations
5. **Discussion** - Interpretation of results
6. **Conclusions** - Summary and recommendations
7. **Appendix** - Supporting data, references
## Implementation Pattern
### Basic Report Generation
```python
import plotly.express as px
import plotly.graph_objects as go
from plotly.subplots import make_subplots
import pandas as pd
from pathlib import Path
from datetime import datetime
def generate_report(
data_path: str,
*See sub-skills for full details.*
### Visualization Patterns
```python
def create_visualizations(df: pd.DataFrame, chart_configs: list) -> list:
"""Create Plotly figures from configuration."""
figures = []
for config in chart_configs:
chart_type = config.get('type', 'line')
if chart_type == 'line':
fig = px.line(
*See sub-skills for full details.*
### HTML Template
```python
def build_html_report(title: str, sections: dict, figures: list) -> str:
"""Build complete HTML report."""
# Convert figures to HTML
chart_html = '\n'.join([
f'<div class="chart-container">{fig.to_html(full_html=False, include_plotlyjs="cdn")}</div>'
for fig in figures
])
*See sub-skills for full details.*
## Integration
### With YAML Workflow
```yaml
task: generate_report
input:
data_path: data/processed/results.csv
output:
report_path: reports/analysis.html
config:
title: "Analysis Report"
charts:
- type: line
x: time
y: value
With Data Pipeline
# Pipeline output -> Report input
pipeline_results = process_data(raw_data)
pipeline_results.to_csv('data/processed/results.csv')
generate_report(
data_path='data/processed/results.csv',
output_path='reports/analysis.html',
title='Pipeline Results'
)
