Ask for a Visualization in Natural Language

In the chat, simply type something like:
“Create a bar chart of sales by region.”
“Plot a line graph showing daily active users over time.”
“Visualize the distribution of order amounts as a histogram.”
Julius will:
  • Parse your request
  • Identify relevant columns
  • Generate the appropriate visualization (e.g., bar, line, scatter, histogram, boxplot)
3

Customize the Output

Once the visualization appears, you can refine it by asking follow-ups:
  • Change chart type:
    “Can you turn this into a pie chart?”
  • Adjust axes or labels:
    “Label the x-axis as ‘Date’ and y-axis as ‘Revenue’”
  • Add grouping or filtering:
    “Group by product category” or “Only show data for 2024”
  • Change formatting:
    “Add data labels” or “Use log scale on the y-axis”

View or Edit the Code (Optional)

Click “Show Code” to:
  • See the Python or SQL code used to generate the visualization
  • Edit the code if you want more control (e.g., set color palettes, change figure size)
  • Rerun the chart with your edits
5

Save It to a Notebook (Optional)

Once you’re happy with the visualization:
  • Click “Save to Notebook” to store it with your analysis
  • Add context, reasoning, or notes alongside the chart
  • Share the Notebook with your team for review or reuse
6

Export or Share

  • Right-click or use built-in tools to download the chart as an image (PNG, SVG)
