| """Inline-SVG charts from real data, for a venture's static pages. |
| |
| Copy this file into ventures/<slug>/product/ and import it from your site |
| generator. Standard library only, like gen_site.py. |
| |
| WHY INLINE SVG AND NOT A CHART LIBRARY. These pages are static files built by a |
| Python pipeline and served from GitHub Pages. A CDN chart library would add a |
| blocking third-party request, break the reviewer's no-unknown-script rule, show |
| nothing until JS runs, and render an empty box for anyone whose script blocked. |
| SVG generated at build time has the numbers baked in: it paints instantly, it |
| works with JS off, it survives being screenshotted into a post, and the figure |
| cannot silently disagree with the dataset because it IS the dataset. |
| |
| WHAT A CHART IS FOR HERE. Not a research paper. A stranger gives the page about |
| two seconds. One number, large, that makes the scale of the thing land — then |
| the shape of the data underneath it. Accurate AND arresting; the accuracy is |
| what makes it arresting, because the numbers are real and specific. |
| |
| Rules baked in so they cannot be forgotten: |
| * every mark is DIRECTLY LABELLED — no hover, no legend to decode, and it |
| keeps the palette legal for colour-blind readers; |
| * one axis, never two scales on one chart; |
| * a single series uses the sequential blue ramp; multiple series use a |
| validated categorical order, never cycled; |
| * text is ink-coloured, never series-coloured — a mark beside it carries |
| identity; |
| * grid and axes recede; |
| * every figure carries a caption naming the source and the date, because an |
| unattributed number on a page selling data is worth nothing; |
| * dark mode is honoured via prefers-color-scheme. |
| |
| Palette validated with the dataviz palette checker (light and dark): lightness |
| band, chroma floor, CVD separation, normal-vision floor, contrast. |
