Summary

Create and customize MATLAB charts and plots. Plot types (line, scatter, bar, histogram, heatmap, surface), axes configuration, annotations, data tips, interactive plots, animation, multiple axes with tiledlayout, colororder, and performance optimization. Works for standalone fig

1	# MATLAB Chart Builder
2
3	Create, customize, and interact with MATLAB charts and plots — in standalone figures, Live Scripts, or uifigure apps.
4
5	## When to Use This Skill
6
7	Use this skill when:
8	- Plotting data (line, scatter, bar, histogram, heatmap, surface, polar, geo, volume) in any context
9	- Configuring axes (labels, limits, ticks, legend, font, export)
10	- Adding annotations (xline, yline, xregion, text)
11	- Adding or customizing data tips
12	- Creating interactive plots (click, hover, drag callbacks)
13	- Animating or streaming data to a chart
14	- Arranging multiple axes with tiledlayout/nexttile
15	- Optimizing chart rendering performance
16	- Exporting figures for publication or reports
17	- User says "help me visualize this" without a specific chart type
18
19	## When NOT to Use This Skill
20
21	- Building a full app (use `matlab-build-app` — it invokes this skill for chart sub-steps)
22	- Applying dark mode, brand colors, or custom color themes (use `matlab-theming`)
23	- Working with Simulink scopes or Simscape plots
24	- Creating App Designer charts via the drag-and-drop GUI
25
26	## Workflow

28	```
29	User request arrives

33	\| AND no interactivity / animation / multi-panel / performance concern
34	\| \|

48	Present inline plan for approval

51	User confirms --> Read references --> Build
52	```
53
54	### Fast-Path Triggers (build directly, no plan)
55
56	ALL of these must hold:
57	- Chart type is named OR intent maps unambiguously to one type
58	- Single axes (no tiled/multi-panel layout)
59	- No custom interactivity (no user-specified callbacks)
60	- No animation or streaming
61	- No explicit performance constraints
62	- Rendering context is clear or defaults to standalone figure
63
64	### Plan-Path Triggers (present plan first)
65
66	ANY of these fires the plan path:
67	- Multi-panel / tiled figure
68	- Custom interactivity (click, hover, drag callbacks)
69	- Animation or streaming data
70	- Performance-sensitive (large dataset, real-time update)
71	- Branded / designed figure requiring palette/theme coordination
72	- Ambiguous "help me visualize this" — unclear type or intent
73	- Multiple visualization intents in one figure
74
75	## Rendering Context
76
77	Three contexts gate which constraint set applies:
78
79	\| Context \| Constraints \| How inferred \|
80	\|---------\|-------------\|--------------\|
81	\| Standalone figure \| Universal rules only \| Default; `figure`/`axes` in request \|
82	\| Live Script \| Universal rules only \| User mentions Live Script, `.mlx`, plain-text Live Code \|
83	\| uifigure app \| Universal + uifigure rules \| User mentions uifigure; arrives as sub-step of app-builder \|
84
85	If context is unstated and cannot be inferred, assume standalone figure. Ask only when the distinction matters (e.g., heatmap parent differs between contexts).
86
87	## Visualization Intent Taxonomy
88
89	Engages ONLY when the user has NOT named a specific chart type or function. If they say "scatter" or "heatmap," skip intent selection and build directly.
90
91	### Communicative Intents
92
93	\| Intent \| Data question \| Encouraged functions \|
94	\|--------\|--------------\|---------------------\|
95	\| Comparison \| How do values compare across items? \| `bar`, `barh`, `bar3`, `bar3h`, `pareto`, `stem`, `stairs`, `loglog`, `semilogx`, `semilogy` \|
96	\| Trend / time series \| How does a value change over time? \| `plot`, `area`, `stackedplot`, `stairs`, `stem`, `fplot`, `fplot3` \|
97	\| Distribution \| How is data spread? \| `histogram`, `histogram2`, `boxchart`, `violinplot`, `raincloudplot`, `swarmchart`, `swarmchart3`, `scatterhistogram`, `binscatter`, `pol
