# Infographic Visualizer

> **⚠️ CHECK TEMPLATES:** Wrong template names WILL cause render failures.

## When to Use & Available Templates

**✅ Use infographic when:**

- **Timeline / milestones**: `sequence-timeline-simple`, `sequence-timeline-rounded-rect-node`, `sequence-timeline-simple-illus`
- **Step-by-step process**: `sequence-snake-steps-simple`, `sequence-snake-steps-compact-card`, `sequence-snake-steps-underline-text`, `sequence-stairs-front-compact-card`, `sequence-stairs-front-pill-badge`, `sequence-ascending-steps`, `sequence-ascending-stairs-3d-underline-text`, `sequence-circular-simple`, `sequence-pyramid-simple`, `sequence-mountain-underline-text`, `sequence-cylinders-3d-simple`, `sequence-zigzag-steps-underline-text`, `sequence-zigzag-pucks-3d-simple`, `sequence-horizontal-zigzag-underline-text`, `sequence-horizontal-zigzag-simple-illus`, `sequence-color-snake-steps-horizontal-icon-line`
- **Product roadmap**: `sequence-roadmap-vertical-simple`, `sequence-roadmap-vertical-plain-text`
- **Funnel / conversion**: `sequence-filter-mesh-simple`, `sequence-funnel-simple`
- **A vs B comparison**: `compare-binary-horizontal-underline-text-vs`, `compare-binary-horizontal-simple-fold`, `compare-binary-horizontal-badge-card-arrow`, `compare-hierarchy-left-right-circle-node-pill-badge`
- **SWOT analysis**: `compare-swot`
- **Priority matrix 2×2**: `quadrant-quarter-simple-card`, `quadrant-quarter-circular`, `quadrant-simple-illus`
- **Org tree / hierarchy**: `hierarchy-tree-tech-style-capsule-item`, `hierarchy-tree-curved-line-rounded-rect-node`, `hierarchy-tree-tech-style-badge-card`, `hierarchy-structure`
- **Pie / donut chart**: `chart-pie-plain-text`, `chart-pie-compact-card`, `chart-pie-donut-plain-text`, `chart-pie-donut-pill-badge`
- **Bar / column chart**: `chart-bar-plain-text`, `chart-column-simple`, `chart-line-plain-text`

## Syntax Structure

```plain
infographic <template-name>
data
  title Title
  desc Description
  items
    - label Label
      value 12.5
      desc Explanation
      icon mdi/rocket-launch
theme
  palette #3b82f6 #8b5cf6 #f97316
```

**Rules:** First line `infographic <template-name>` (must match template list) | 2-space indentation | `key value` pairs (space-separated, **NOT** `key: value`) | `-` prefix for arrays | Compare templates need exactly 2 root items with `children` | SWOT needs exactly 4 items (Strengths/Weaknesses/Opportunities/Threats in English) | Quadrant needs exactly 4 items with `children` | list templates use `desc` not `value` | `hierarchy-structure` max 3 levels | Use `desc` not `description` | Use `items` not `steps`

### ⚠️ Common Mistakes (will cause render failure)

```plain
❌ WRONG — Do NOT use YAML colon syntax:
template: list-grid-badge-card     ← wrong! no "template:" key
title: My Title                    ← wrong! colons are not allowed
items:                             ← wrong! no colon after items
  - label: Item One                ← wrong! no colon after label
    description: Some text         ← wrong! field is "desc" not "description"
    value: "100"                   ← wrong! no colon, and value must be numeric
steps:                             ← wrong! field is "items" not "steps"
left:                              ← wrong! compare uses 2 root items + children
  label: Option A                  ← wrong! compare structure is flat items
quadrants:                         ← wrong! quadrant uses 4 items + children

✅ CORRECT — Space-separated key-value, 2-space indent:
infographic list-grid-badge-card
data
  title My Title
  items
    - label Item One
      desc Some text
      value 100
```

## Data Fields

| Field | Description | Example |
|-------|-------------|---------|
| `label` | Item title/name (required) | `label Q1 Sales` |
| `desc` | Description text | `desc $1.28B \| +20%` |
| `value` | Numeric value (charts/funnels only) | `value 128` |
| `time` | Time label (timeline templates only) | `time Q1 2024` |
| `icon` | Icon: `mdi/icon-name` ([Iconify](https://icon-sets.iconify.design/)) | `icon mdi/star` |
| `illus` | Illustration name ([unDraw](https://undraw.co/illustrations)) | `illus coding` |
| `children` | Nested items (hierarchy/compare) | See examples |
| `done` | Completion status (checklist) | `done true` |
