Visual concept used

A wall-mountable signal-analysis bench. The hero is an RFD oscilloscope — FORCE vs TIME in milliseconds (0–400 ms) — carrying two traces: a grey STRENGTH curve (tall peak, but lazy, crossing its max after the window) and a bright-green EXPLOSIVE curve (steep, early, lower peak). A shaded green CONTACT WINDOW (0.1–0.3 s) gate frames where the explosive trace sits above the strength trace, making the article’s whole thesis — rate, not peak — a literal visible slope (stamped RFD = ΔForce ÷ Δtime = the SLOPE). The paired instrument is a force–velocity tuning chart with two training zones and a ghost/solid raised-ceiling pair (max strength raises the WHOLE curve). Below, three tuned output channels hang off one phosphagen + Type IIx input rail: POWER (spec chip + accessible→advanced toolkit ladder), SPEED (two sub-tracks — acceleration vs max-velocity), AGILITY (brakes-first 3-rung ladder decelerate → pre-planned COD → reactive, plus the 5-10-5 = COD test, not agility fault chip). The elastic engine renders the stretch-shortening cycle as a three-beat timing strip with a deliberately narrow amber AMORTIZATION gap, beside an RSI gauge (strength-dominant ↔ elastic-dominant, RSI = jump ht ÷ contact time) and a neural-drive note. A hard red safety interlock gates high-intensity plyos behind 1.5× BW squat · 30 s SL balance · 30 s SL half-squat, with a free green bypass lane for low-intensity plyos and an earn the right warning. Footer = benchmark scoreboard (THE NUMBER IS THE BOSS) + the law POWER = STRENGTH EXPRESSED FAST. Per §5, this is the first Athletic poster to use the danger state — rationed strictly to the safety interlock (highest-injury-ceiling chapter). §7 avoidances honoured: no explosive-athlete hero photo, no bare textbook F-V curve, no agility-ladder/cone clipart.

Outputs

  • SVG (working source, scratch): outputs/poster-2026-06-03-power-speed-and-agility.svg (also copied to …/posters/)
  • PNG (published): …/blog viz daily - temporary/visualization/Poster — Fit - Part 3.1 (Athletic) - Power, Speed and Agility.png
  • PNG (working copy): …/blog viz daily - temporary/posters/poster-2026-06-03-power-speed-and-agility.png
  • Canvas: portrait viewBox 1200×1860, rendered at 2× → 2400×3720, ~602 KB.

Renderer & verification

  • Renderer: CairoSVG 2.x (pip-installed this run; cairo system libs present, no sudo needed). rsvg-convert/Playwright not required.
  • Verification: PNG non-empty (602 KB > 50 KB) and dimensions exactly 2400×3720 (2× the viewBox). XML validated via minidom before final render. Visual QA by cropping and viewing the hero/F-V region, the elastic-engine + RSI region, and the section-label band.
  • Fixes after first render: (1) shortened the hero section label to THE RFD OSCILLOSCOPE — force vs time (ms) so it no longer overran the F-V chart label; (2) shrank and re-centred the RSI dial (radius 84, centre 927,1400, formula chip moved above the arc) so the gauge sits cleanly inside its card. Re-rendered and re-verified both.

Deviations / notes

  • One transient hiccup: the on-disk SVG lost its final </text></svg> (a write/sync truncation between the editor and the render mount); detected via an XML parse error, repaired by appending the closing tags directly, then re-validated. No content lost.
  • The scheduled-task file’s hard-coded outputs path remains unreachable from the run session (long-standing); the connected blog folder was the working source of truth, consistent with prior runs.
  • Downstream blog-viz-insert-daily (10:30) should pick up the published PNG by its convention name in /visualization/.
