Custom Visualizations

Learn how to create custom visualizations in Julius.

Julius lets you turn raw data into clear charts with just a few prompts. You can generate and refine visuals without writing code.

This guide covers how to create, customize, and save visualizations that match your data and your brand.

1. Upload or Access your Data

   1. click “+ Add Data”.
   2. Upload a file or choose a connected data source.
   3. Julius will automatically parse the structure and show a preview.
2. 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”

4. 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)
   • Or copy it to clipboard to paste into a report, slide deck, or Notion doc
