River Outfall Status Visualizer

Core Goal

• Convert one Excel workbook into:
• A scenario-aware river outfall status summary.
• A standalone HTML chart suitable for briefing and review.
• A reusable mock workbook that follows the same template.
• Keep the chart vertically truthful. Y values must always use real elevation.
• Allow horizontal zoom without resizing outfall symbols. Only the outfall anchor positions move with the river layout.
• Distinguish left-bank and right-bank outfalls with side-specific offset, connector direction, label placement, and legend.

Required Inputs

• Start from a .xlsx workbook.
• Prefer the mixed single-sheet format documented in [references/data-schema.md](references/data-schema.md):
• Outfall rows carry code, size, base elevation, mileage, bank side, and scenario water levels.
• Control-node rows carry reach or gate names, mileage, scenario water levels, and optionally 河底高程 / 堤顶高程.
• If 当前水位 is missing, ask for it or state clearly that the output only supports the available scenarios.
• If the workbook lacks riverbed or channel-bottom data, describe the output as a river outfall status chart, not a true riverbed longitudinal profile.

Quick Start

1. Generate a directly usable input template:

python3 scripts/generate_input_template_excel.py \
  --output assets/templates/river-outfall-input-template.xlsx

1. Generate or inspect a mock workbook:

python3 scripts/generate_mock_example_excel.py \
  --output assets/examples/example-river-sample.xlsx

1. Compute scenario summaries:

python3 scripts/calc_submergence.py \
  --input assets/examples/example-river-sample.xlsx \
  --pretty

1. Render a standalone HTML report:

python3 scripts/render_status_report.py \
  --input assets/examples/example-river-sample.xlsx \
  --output assets/examples/example-river-sample-report.html

Workflow

1. Read [references/data-schema.md](references/data-schema.md) before touching the workbook schema.
2. Read [references/status-rules.md](references/status-rules.md) before changing status logic.
3. Read [references/visual-spec.md](references/visual-spec.md) before changing the chart layout or legend.
4. Use scripts/calc_submergence.py first when the request is analytical.
5. Use scripts/renderstatusreport.py when the request needs a deliverable chart.
6. Use scripts/generatemockexample_excel.py to create a regression fixture or explain the expected workbook shape.
7. Use scripts/generateinputtemplate_excel.py when the user needs a blank workbook they can fill directly in Excel.
8. Report validation warnings explicitly. Do not silently coerce missing elevations, missing sizes, or ambiguous bank-side values.

Visual Rules

• Keep Y coordinates in true elevation. Do not vertically exaggerate.
• Use mileage for ordering and anchor positioning.
• Keep the page free of browser-level horizontal scrolling. Use wheel zoom in the chart plus the timeline overview for navigation.
• Allow horizontal zoom or compression for layout, but keep outfall symbol widths fixed during zoom.
• Anchor each outfall at its true mileage and base elevation.
• When 河底高程 is present, draw a brown riverbed step profile and fill the active scenario water body above it with blue.
• When 堤顶高程 is present, draw the levee crest as a separate contextual step profile.
• Draw the outfall crown from true geometry height when size data is available.
• Use shape to distinguish geometry type:
• Rectangle for box culverts or rectangular outfalls.
• Circle for circular pipes. Do not flatten circular pipes into ellipses.
• Use bank-side offset to distinguish left-bank and right-bank outfalls:
• Left-bank outfalls offset to the left of the river axis.
• Right-bank outfalls offset to the right of the river axis.
• Reinforce bank side with connector direction, label placement, and legend text.
• Use status as the dominant semantic encoding:
• 未受淹
• 部分受淹
• 完全淹没
• Make the selected scenario visually dominant and keep non-selected scenarios visible but weaker.
• Prefer code plus size on the chart. Keep full outfall names in the detail table when the chart is dense enough that names would harm readability.

Scripts

• scripts/generatemockexample_excel.py
• Create an anonymized example workbook with mixed outfall and control-node rows.
• scripts/generateinputtemplate_excel.py
• Create a multi-sheet Excel template whose first sheet can be filled directly and whose second sheet explains the fields.
• scripts/calc_submergence.py
• Read a workbook, normalize the rows, compute scenario statuses, and print or export a summary.
• scripts/renderstatusreport.py
• Generate a standalone HTML report with scenario switching and horizontal zoom.
• scripts/riveroutfallstatus_lib.py
• Shared parser, validator, geometry, summary, and .xlsx read/write helpers.

Output Checklist

• State which scenarios were actually present in the source workbook.
• Report total outfall count and counts by status for the highlighted scenario.
• List fully submerged outfall codes explicitly.
• Call out left-bank and right-bank counts when they matter to the request.
• Mention whether 河底高程 / 堤顶高程 were present, because that determines whether the chart includes channel background context or only water lines plus outfalls.
