Pull request overview

This PR updates the qrcode-basic plot specification and the Plotly implementation to generate proper, scannable QR codes by using the qrcode library (addressing the “not scannable” issue).

Changes:

  • Updated the spec to explicitly require scannable output and recommend using a real QR encoder library.
  • Reworked the Plotly implementation to generate the QR matrix via qrcode instead of manual construction.
  • Refreshed Plotly metadata (versions/timestamps/dependencies).

Implementation header docstring deviates from the repository’s standard 4-line header format: it starts with """pyplots.ai (missing the space) and the quality field is currently blank (Quality: /100). Update it to match the established header format (starts with """ pyplots.ai) and use either Quality: {score}/100 or Quality: pending (not empty) so tooling and consistency checks don’t break.

quality_score is set to null, but plot metadata in this repo is expected to use a non-null integer quality score (and the detailed checklist below already totals to a numeric score). Populate quality_score with the correct integer value so downstream consumers don’t need to handle nulls.

Image Description

The plot shows a QR code rendered as a black and white heatmap on a square 3600×3600 canvas. The title "qrcode-basic · plotly · pyplots.ai" appears at the top center in Python Blue (#306998) text, though it appears relatively small for the canvas size. The QR code itself is well-rendered with three finder patterns (large concentric squares) in the top-left, top-right, and bottom-left corners, surrounded by a proper quiet zone (white border). The data pattern fills the interior with a clear black-on-white grid. At the very bottom, "Content: https://pyplots.ai" appears in small gray text. The "Error Correction: M (15%)" annotation from the code is not visible in the rendered image — it appears to be cut off below the visible area. There is significant whitespace between the QR code and the bottom annotation, and above the QR code below the title.

Visual Quality (25/30)

  • VQ-01: Text Legibility (5/8) — Font sizes explicitly set (32, 28) but appear small relative to 3600×3600 canvas; title is tiny at top
  • VQ-02: No Overlap (6/6) — No overlapping text elements
  • VQ-03: Element Visibility (6/6) — QR code modules are crisp and clearly visible with maximum black/white contrast
  • VQ-04: Color Accessibility (4/4) — Black on white provides maximum contrast, fully accessible
  • VQ-05: Layout & Canvas (2/4) — Excessive whitespace below QR code; "Error Correction: M (15%)" annotation is cut off/not visible; large gap between title and QR code
  • VQ-06: Axis Labels & Title (2/2) — Title in correct format, axes appropriately hidden for QR code

Design Excellence (9/20)

  • DE-01: Aesthetic Sophistication (4/8) — Well-configured default: Python Blue title, clean B&W QR, gray annotation hierarchy, but not exceptional
  • DE-02: Visual Refinement (3/6) — Some refinement: axes/grid hidden, plotly_white template, but large unbalanced whitespace gaps reduce polish
  • DE-03: Data Storytelling (2/6) — Content annotation identifies what's encoded, but no visual storytelling or hierarchy beyond basic display

Spec Compliance (15/15)

  • SC-01: Plot Type (5/5) — Correct QR code visualization using proper qrcode library
  • SC-02: Required Features (4/4) — Quiet zone present (border=4), high contrast B&W, finder patterns correct, error correction M, scannable QR
  • SC-03: Data Mapping (3/3) — QR matrix correctly mapped to heatmap, y-axis reversed for proper orientation
  • SC-04: Title & Legend (3/3) — Title format "qrcode-basic · plotly · pyplots.ai" correct; no legend needed

Data Quality (14/15)

  • DQ-01: Feature Coverage (5/6) — Shows QR code with all main features (finder patterns, data modules, quiet zone) but only one content example
  • DQ-02: Realistic Context (5/5) — Encodes real, relevant URL (https://pyplots.ai)
  • DQ-03: Appropriate Scale (4/4) — QR version auto-fitted, appropriate for URL content length

Code Quality (10/10)

  • CQ-01: KISS Structure (3/3) — Clean imports → data → plot → style → save structure

  • CQ-05: Output & API (1/1) — Saves as plot.png and plot.html, uses current API

Library Mastery (7/10)

  • LM-01: Idiomatic Usage (4/5) — Good use of go.Heatmap for matrix display, update_layout, add_annotation, scaleanchor for 1:1 aspect ratio
  • LM-02: Distinctive Features (3/5) — HTML export for interactive version, scaleanchor constraint; leverages Plotly's dual static/interactive output

Score Caps Applied

  • None

Strengths

  • Uses proper qrcode library producing a scannable QR code as spec requires
  • Perfect spec compliance with correct title format, quiet zone, error correction level M
  • Clean, deterministic code with KISS structure and no unnecessary complexity
  • Dual output (PNG + HTML) leverages Plotly's interactive capability

Weaknesses

  • "Error Correction: M (15%)" annotation is cut off / not visible in the rendered image — layout/margin issue
  • Title and annotation text appear small relative to 3600×3600 canvas — font sizes need scaling up
  • Excessive whitespace between QR code and bottom of canvas; unbalanced margins
  • Design is functional but lacks polish — could add subtle framing, better proportioned spacing, or visual hierarchy

Issues Found

  1. VQ-05 LOW: Error correction annotation cut off, excessive whitespace below QR code
    • Fix: Adjust bottom margin and annotation y-positions so both annotations are visible; reduce gap between QR code and annotations
  2. VQ-01 MEDIUM: Text appears small at 3600×3600 resolution
    • Fix: Increase title font to ≥48pt, annotation fonts to ≥36pt for proper readability at this canvas size
  3. DE-01 LOW: Aesthetic is clean but plain — well-configured default level
    • Fix: Consider adding a subtle rounded border/frame, branded color accents, or a more refined typographic hierarchy
  4. DE-03 LOW: No visual storytelling or hierarchy
    • Fix: Add visual context such as a subtle background frame, metadata presentation with better hierarchy, or visual emphasis on the encoded content

AI Feedback for Next Attempt

Fix the cut-off error correction annotation by adjusting margins and annotation positions. Scale up all font sizes significantly (title ≥48, annotations ≥36) for the 3600×3600 canvas. Reduce whitespace gaps to improve layout balance. Improve design excellence by adding visual refinement — consider a subtle border/frame around the QR code, better typographic hierarchy between title and metadata, and more intentional spacing.

Image Description

The plot displays a QR code rendered as a Plotly heatmap on a 3600×3600 square canvas. The QR code uses dark navy (#1a1a2e) modules on a white background, with three finder patterns clearly visible in the top-left, top-right, and bottom-left corners. The paper background is light gray (#f8f9fa). The title "qrcode-basic · plotly · pyplots.ai" appears at the top in blue (Arial Black). Below the QR code area, a subtle dotted blue divider line separates the code from annotations. The encoded URL "https://pyplots.ai" is displayed prominently in bold blue text, followed by gray metadata text reading "Error Correction: M (15%) · Version 2 · 33×33 modules". Small gaps between modules (xgap/ygap) give the QR code a subtle grid texture.

Visual Quality (28/30)

  • VQ-01: Text Legibility (7/8) — All font sizes explicitly set (title 52, URL 44, info 36). All clearly readable. Minor deduction: info text at bottom is slightly small relative to the large canvas.
  • VQ-02: No Overlap (6/6) — No overlapping elements whatsoever.
  • VQ-03: Element Visibility (6/6) — QR code modules are crisp and clearly visible with excellent contrast.
  • VQ-04: Color Accessibility (4/4) — High contrast dark navy on white, excellent for both viewing and scanning.
  • VQ-05: Layout & Canvas (3/4) — QR code fills a good portion of canvas but there's notable empty space above and below the code due to large margins (t=200, b=320). The bottom annotation area has excessive padding.
  • VQ-06: Axis Labels & Title (2/2) — Title correctly formatted. No axes needed for QR code (N/A).

Design Excellence (12/20)

  • DE-01: Aesthetic Sophistication (5/8) — Thoughtful design choices: dark navy instead of pure black, light gray paper background, blue accent color for text and divider, dotted separator line. Above defaults but not publication-level polish.
  • DE-02: Visual Refinement (4/6) — Clean layout with axes/ticks/grid all hidden, subtle module gaps, dotted divider, generous whitespace. Good refinement visible.
  • DE-03: Data Storytelling (3/6) — Annotations convey what's encoded and technical properties. The prominent URL display and metadata create a clear information hierarchy. Good for a QR code but could emphasize the "scan me" purpose more.

Spec Compliance (15/15)

  • SC-01: Plot Type (5/5) — Correct QR code visualization using the qrcode library as recommended.
  • SC-02: Required Features (4/4) — Quiet zone present (border=4), high contrast, finder patterns visible, error correction M (15%), uses proper qrcode library for scannable output.
  • SC-03: Data Mapping (3/3) — QR matrix correctly mapped to heatmap with proper orientation (y-axis reversed).
  • SC-04: Title & Legend (3/3) — Title "qrcode-basic · plotly · pyplots.ai" matches required format. No legend needed.

Data Quality (14/15)

  • DQ-01: Feature Coverage (5/6) — Shows a complete, valid QR code with all standard features (finder patterns, timing patterns, data modules, quiet zone). Could demonstrate more QR features (e.g., alignment patterns visible in higher versions).
  • DQ-02: Realistic Context (5/5) — Encodes "https://pyplots.ai" — a real, meaningful, neutral URL.
  • DQ-03: Appropriate Scale (4/4) — Version 2, 33×33 modules, error correction M — all sensible and appropriate.

Code Quality (10/10)

  • CQ-01: KISS Structure (3/3) — Clean linear flow: imports → data generation → plot → style → save. No functions or classes.
  • CQ-02: Reproducibility (2/2) — Fully deterministic: same URL always produces identical QR code.
  • CQ-03: Clean Imports (2/2) — All imports used: numpy, plotly.graph_objects, qrcode.
  • CQ-04: Code Elegance (2/2) — Clean, appropriate complexity. Good use of qrcode library API.
  • CQ-05: Output & API (1/1) — Saves as plot.png and plot.html. Current API usage.

Library Mastery (7/10)

  • LM-01: Idiomatic Usage (4/5) — Good use of go.Heatmap with custom colorscale, update_layout, add_annotation, add_shape. Proper use of scaleanchor for square aspect ratio.
  • LM-02: Distinctive Features (3/5) — Produces interactive HTML export alongside PNG. Uses Plotly annotations and shapes for informational overlay. The heatmap with xgap/ygap is a nice Plotly-specific touch.

Score Caps Applied

  • None

Strengths

  • Uses the qrcode library for genuine, scannable QR code generation (not manually constructed)
  • Clean design with dark navy modules, light gray background, and blue accent color scheme
  • Informative annotations showing encoded URL, error correction level, version, and module count
  • Produces both static PNG and interactive HTML output
  • Perfect spec compliance with all required features present

Weaknesses

  • Bottom margin is excessive (b=320), creating too much empty space below the QR code
  • The module gap (xgap=0.3, ygap=0.3) introduces visible grid lines between modules which slightly reduces the clean QR appearance and could affect scannability at smaller print sizes
  • Design could be elevated further with a more distinctive visual treatment (e.g., rounded corners on the container, shadow effects, or a more refined typography hierarchy)

Issues Found

  1. VQ-05 MINOR: Excessive bottom margin (b=320) wastes canvas space below annotations
    • Fix: Reduce bottom margin to ~160-200 to better utilize canvas
  2. DE-01 MODERATE: Design is above defaults but not yet publication-level
    • Fix: Consider adding a subtle container/card effect around the QR code, refining the typography hierarchy further
  3. DE-03 MINOR: Data storytelling could be stronger
    • Fix: Add a subtle "Scan to visit" label or visual cue that emphasizes the QR code's purpose

AI Feedback for Next Attempt

To reach 90+: (1) Reduce the excessive bottom margin to improve canvas utilization. (2) Remove or reduce the xgap/ygap between modules for a cleaner, more professional QR code appearance. (3) Elevate design excellence — consider a subtle card/container effect, refined drop shadow, or more sophisticated typography hierarchy to push DE-01 toward 6-7. (4) Add a subtle contextual cue (e.g., a small "Scan to visit" note) to strengthen data storytelling.

AI Review - Attempt 3/3

Image Description

The plot displays a QR code rendered as a Plotly heatmap on a 3600×3600 square canvas. The QR code uses dark navy (#1a1a2e) modules on a white background with subtle gaps between modules (xgap/ygap=0.3). Three finder patterns are clearly visible in the top-left, top-right, and bottom-left corners with characteristic nested squares. The title "qrcode-basic · plotly · pyplots.ai" appears at the top in blue (#306998) Arial Black font against a light gray (#f8f9fa) paper background. A subtle blue decorative border frames the plot area. Below the QR code, a dotted blue divider line separates the code from annotations: the encoded URL "https://pyplots.ai" in bold blue (48pt), and metadata "Error Correction M (15%) · Version 2 · 33×33 modules" in gray (#888888, 38pt). The overall design is clean and professional with intentional typographic hierarchy.

  • CQ-04: Code Elegance (2/2) - Appropriate complexity, clean Pythonic code, no over-engineering
  • CQ-05: Output & API (1/1) - Saves as plot.png and plot.html, uses current Plotly API

Library Mastery (7/10)

  • LM-01: Idiomatic Usage (4/5) - Good use of go.Heatmap with custom colorscale, add_annotation, add_shape, and update_layout patterns. Proper use of scaleanchor for aspect ratio.
  • LM-02: Distinctive Features (3/5) - Leverages Plotly-specific xgap/ygap for module separation effect, hovertemplate for interactive tooltips, HTML export via write_html for CDN-based interactivity

Score Caps Applied

  • None

Strengths

  • Uses proper qrcode library ensuring scannable QR code output (critical spec requirement)
  • Polished design with intentional color choices: dark navy modules, Python Blue accents, light gray paper background
  • Clear visual hierarchy with title → QR code → divider → URL → metadata
  • Clean deterministic code with KISS structure and dual output (PNG + interactive HTML)
  • Font sizes improved from prior attempts — all explicitly set and well-sized for canvas

Weaknesses

  • Minor whitespace gap between QR code bottom edge and annotation area
  • Library mastery limited by the nature of QR code visualization (fewer opportunities for distinctive Plotly features)

Issues Found

  1. VQ-05 MINOR: Slight excess whitespace between QR code and bottom annotations
    • Fix: Could reduce bottom margin further or adjust annotation y-positions
