Release Notes

Functional changes

• Safe coordinate scaling: guard against divide‑by‑zero when all scores are zero, preventing NaN plot coordinates. bird_plot/cli.py
• Sanitized names for output paths to avoid unsafe filesystem characters. bird_plot/cli.py
• Comparison filenames standardized to with_TeamAverage.png for team-average overlays. bird_plot/cli.py
• Radar title formatting now skips empty/NaN notes instead of always appending. bird_plot/plots/radar.py
• Quadrant color keys now map to the correct corners while preserving the existing visual colors. bird_plot/plots/base.py, config.toml
• Team average labeling cleaned up (Name now “Team Average Profile”, Note empty). bird_plot/cli.py

v2025.02.24

I am pleased to introduce the first release of Bird-Plot – a Python-based visualization tool that converts Tick.com.au personality profiling data into engaging, quadrant-based radar charts.

Key Features in this Release:

• Individual Radar Charts:
  Visualize a single person’s scores across the four "bird" dimensions (Eagle, Dove, Owl, and Peacock) using a radar chart.

• Group Distribution Visualization:
  Compare multiple profiles on a quadrant layout to quickly assess team strengths and personality diversity.

• Pairwise Comparison:
  Overlay radar charts to highlight similarities and differences between two profiles, including an overlap percentage.

This initial release lays the groundwork for Bird-Plot. Feedback and suggestions are welcome.
