Chart Builder Capabilities¶
- Quick chart templates:
- line chart
- stacked area
- stacked bars
- dual axis
- age distribution
- disturbance breakdown
- regional breakdown
- Advanced chart mode supports:
- source table selection
- x and y column selection
- grouping column selection
- aggregation function selection
- indicator filters
Classifier Filters¶
- Global classifier filters apply across loaded charts.
- Filters should be applied before export to keep output consistent.
- If charts become empty, clear filters and re-apply incrementally.
Spatial Mode (Raster-First)¶
- Spatial mode expects TIFF outputs and uses raster-based rendering.
- Use consistent colormap and year range when comparing scenarios.
Playback and Temporal Navigation¶
- Year slider updates current year view.
- Playback mode steps through year sequence at fixed interval.
- If temporal controls desync from map display, reload spatial directory.
Export Workflows¶
- Per-chart export for chart-level analysis.
- PDF export for report-ready snapshots.
- Always record DB path, filter state, and indicator list with exported assets.
