Glossary#

bespoke wind supply curve#: reV output variant where characterization data is embedded as JSON strings that can be expanded into columns for analysis.
characterization map#: JSON that maps characterization names to column paths inside supply-curve rows used by unpack-characterizations.
configuration file#: JSON document consumed by reVReports describing scenarios, output directories, palettes, DPI, and other plotting options.
DPI#: Dots per inch for saved PNG figures. Defaults to the package-wide DPI constant from reVReports.utilities.plots.
map bundle#: Geospatial images produced by reVReports maps that visualize scenario capacity, density, or other metrics over study regions.
output directory#: Destination folder for generated images and CSVs. It is created if it does not already exist.
Pixi#: Environment manager used to install dependencies, run tasks, and maintain reproducible shells for reVReports.
plot bundle#: Collection of report figures produced by reVReports plots including bar charts, box plots, histograms, and regional views.
prefix outputs#: Optional configuration toggle that prepends "plot_" to emitted filenames to avoid clobbering existing images.
reVReports#: CLI and Python package that generates publication-ready plots, maps, and characterization tables from reV supply-curve outputs.
scenario#: Named supply-curve input defined in the configuration that maps to a source CSV on disk and optional scenario-specific styling.
scenario palette#: Mapping of scenario names to colors used across plots and maps for consistent styling.
supply curve#: reV output CSV with scenario-level columns such as capacity, annual energy, area, and metadata for each supply-curve point.
