Installation

pip install vizforge

Quick Start

import vizforge as vz
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({
    "month":   ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun"],
    "revenue": [120, 145, 132, 178, 195, 210],
    "cost":    [80, 92, 88, 101, 110, 118],
})

# Natural language → chart (no API key)
chart = vz.ask("Show revenue and cost trend as a line chart", df)
chart.show()

# Forecast next 3 months
fc = vz.forecast(df, target="revenue", periods=3)
fc.show()

# Auto-discover insights
insights = vz.discover_insights(df)
for ins in insights:
    print(ins.summary)

Natural Language Queries (NLQ)

import vizforge as vz
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv("sales.csv")

# Ask questions in plain English
vz.ask("Show top 10 products by revenue as a bar chart", df).show()
vz.ask("Plot monthly sales trend with forecast", df).show()
vz.ask("Compare Q1 vs Q2 performance", df).show()
vz.ask("Which region had the highest growth?", df).show()

# NLQ Engine directly
nlq = vz.NLQEngine()
result = nlq.query("Show correlation between price and sales", df)
print(result.chart_type)     # scatter
print(result.explanation)    # "Scatter plot chosen: 2 continuous variables, correlation question"
result.chart.show()

---

Predictive Analytics

import vizforge as vz
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({
    "date":  pd.date_range("2024-01-01", periods=365),
    "value": [100 + i * 0.3 + (i % 30) * 5 for i in range(365)],
})

# Forecast next 90 days
fc = vz.forecast(df, target="value", periods=90)
fc.show()  # chart with confidence intervals

# Use forecaster directly
forecaster = vz.TimeSeriesForecaster(method="auto")
forecaster.fit(df, "date", "value")
future = forecaster.predict(90)
print(future[["date", "predicted", "lower", "upper"]].tail())

# Trend detection
trend = vz.detect_trend(df, "value")
print(trend.direction)     # "upward"
print(trend.slope)         # 0.32
print(trend.p_value)       # 0.0001

# Anomaly detection
anomalies = vz.detect_anomalies(df, "value", method="zscore", threshold=3.0)
anomalies.show()

# Seasonality analysis
season = vz.analyze_seasonality(df, "value")
print(season.dominant_period)  # 30 (monthly cycle)
print(season.strength)         # 0.78

Auto-Storytelling & Insights

import vizforge as vz

df = pd.read_csv("quarterly_report.csv")

# Discover insights automatically
insights = vz.discover_insights(df)
for ins in insights:
    print(f"[{ins.type:15s}] {ins.summary}")
    print(f"  Evidence: {ins.evidence}")
    print(f"  Confidence: {ins.confidence:.0%}")
# [trend          ] Revenue grew 23% over the past 4 quarters
#   Evidence: Linear regression slope = 42.3k/quarter, p=0.003
#   Confidence: 94%

# Generate narrative story
story = vz.generate_story(df, title="Q2 2026 Performance Report")
print(story)   # human-readable narrative with statistics

# Full HTML report (charts + narrative + recommendations)
report = vz.generate_report(df, format="html", output="report.html")

---

Visual Bias Detection

import vizforge as vz

# Detect misleading visualization patterns
detector = vz.VisualBiasDetector()
report: vz.BiasReport = detector.analyze(df, chart_type="bar", y_col="revenue")
for issue in report.issues:
    print(f"  [{issue.severity}] {issue.description}")
    print(f"  Recommendation: {issue.fix}")
# [HIGH  ] Y-axis truncated at 95 (not zero) — inflates visual change by 8x
#   Recommendation: Start Y-axis at 0 or label the break clearly
# [MEDIUM] Cherry-picked date range omits Q4 decline
#   Recommendation: Show full historical range

Chart Reasoning Engine

import vizforge as vz

engine = vz.ChartReasoningEngine()
decision: vz.ChartDecision = engine.recommend(
    df,
    x="date", y="revenue",
    question="How has revenue changed over time?"
)
print(decision.chart_type)    # "line"
