Infographic Examples

PIDL can generate compact, visually appealing infographics optimized for social media (LinkedIn) and datasheets.

Generated Examples

OAuth 2.0 PKCE (LinkedIn Square)

pidl generate -f infographic --ig-size=linkedin-square --ig-title="OAuth 2.0 PKCE" oauth2_pkce

Features:

• Entity type shapes: circle for user, diamond for auth server, cylinder for resource server
• Entity type colors matching the entity roles
• Animated dots showing the flow of data

ETL Pipeline (Datasheet Tile)

pidl generate -f infographic --ig-size=datasheet-tile --ig-theme=minimal --ig-title="ETL" etl_pipeline.json

Features:

• Compact 400x400 size for datasheet grids
• Minimal theme with subtle colors
• Step type icons (gear for deterministic, cloud for external)

CI/CD Pipeline (Tech Theme)

pidl generate -f infographic --ig-size=linkedin-square --ig-theme=tech --ig-title="CI/CD Pipeline" ci_cd_pipeline.json

Features:

• Tech theme with dark background and green accent dots
• Step type shapes: rectangles for deterministic, diamonds for tools, clouds for external
• Process flow visualization

Document Review (Dark Theme)

pidl generate -f infographic --ig-size=linkedin-square --ig-theme=dark --ig-title="Document Review" llm_document_review.json

Features:

• Dark theme optimized for dark mode displays
• Hexagon shape for LLM steps, circle for human review
• Cyan animated dots for visibility on dark background

ETL Pipeline (No Custom Shapes)

pidl generate -f infographic --ig-size=datasheet-tile --ig-theme=minimal --ig-title="ETL" --ig-no-shapes etl_pipeline.json

Features:

• All nodes rendered as rectangles with --ig-no-shapes flag
• Step type colors still applied
• Icons still differentiate step types

Node Shapes

When --ig-no-shapes is not set, nodes are rendered with shapes based on their type:

Step Types (Process Specs)

Step Type	Shape	Icon
deterministic	Rectangle	:gear:
llm	Hexagon	:brain:
human	Circle	:bust_in_silhouette:
external	Cloud	:cloud:
tool	Diamond	:wrench:

Entity Types (Regular Protocols)

Entity Type	Shape	Icon
user, browser	Circle	:bust_in_silhouette: / :globe_with_meridians:
agent, delegated_agent	Hexagon	:robot: / :handshake:
resource_server	Cylinder	:file_cabinet:
authorization_server, identity_provider	Diamond	:closed_lock_with_key: / :identification_card:
client, server	Rectangle	:computer: / :desktop_computer:

Tips

1. LinkedIn posts: Use linkedin-square (1200x1200) for maximum visibility in feeds
2. Link previews: Use linkedin-landscape (1200x627) for shared links
3. Datasheets: Use datasheet-tile (400x400) for grid layouts
4. Dark mode: Use tech or dark themes for dark UI contexts
5. Presentations: Use --ig-no-animate for static images in slides
6. Accessibility: Use bold theme for maximum contrast
