VSLZ documentation
Turn a question into readable evidence.
Use charts for quantities, diagrams for a process, and networks for relationships. When one question needs several views, bring them together in an infographic with a shared headline and context.

Explore the expanded catalog
Compare group trends, histograms, category profiles and connected trajectories. Every editorial chart has a complete prompt recipe and a network infographic example. The diagram gallery includes all authored templates.
Start with one question
Describe what the reader needs to understand and supply the evidence. A single visual is often enough. Use a composition when the reader needs to compare several views or connect a mechanism with its measured outcome.
Eight composition templates cover evidence networks, headline metrics, evidence boards, charticles, small multiples, timelines, comparisons, and cause-and-effect stories. Matching units can share scales; supported charts and networks can link selections through an explicit common field. On narrow screens, panels reflow in reading order.
Keep the evidence inspectable
Chart data tables expose the underlying values. Headlines should follow from the supplied data, sources should remain visible, and causal claims need evidence beyond correlation. The rendering lab shows desktop and phone previews across the current catalog.
Editorial chart and diagram templates, including infographic compositions, require their corresponding deployment features to be enabled. Gallery previews show these capabilities; check the tool reference for availability and supported inputs.
Add meaningful identity
Optional icons, vector glyphs and inline raster badges work in charts, diagrams, networks and infographic panels. Keep labels and numeric geometry intact. Photos are supplied in the payload, with no server photo storage. See the asset contract, image limits and the six identity examples in the rendering lab.
Try it
Copy a complete prompt recipe with its evidence and inspect the rendered result. Read the visual communication rules for selection, responsive behavior, and quality checks.
