+# Charts Directory - Performance Visualization
+
+This directory contains scripts for generating performance visualization charts.
+
+## Files
+
+### Scripts
+- `latency_leaderboard.py` - Generates horizontal bar chart comparing component latencies
+- `performance_radar.py` - Generates radar chart comparing multiple metrics across systems
+- `__init__.py` - Package initialization
+
+### Generated Outputs
+- `latency_leaderboard.png` - Bar chart showing latency by component (77KB)
+- `performance_radar.png` - Radar chart showing system comparison (254KB)
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+# Generate latency leaderboard
+python charts/latency_leaderboard.py
+
+# Generate performance radar chart
+python charts/performance_radar.py
+```
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- **Required**: matplotlib, numpy
+- **Optional**: None (graceful fallback to text mode if matplotlib unavailable)
+
+## Features
+
+1. **Graceful Degradation**: If matplotlib is not installed, generates text-based charts
+2. **High Quality Output**: 150 DPI PNG files with tight bounding boxes
+3. **Automatic Data Loading**: Can load actual metrics from `metrics/` directory if available
+4. **Default Benchmarks**: Includes sensible default data for immediate visualization
+
+## Customization
+
+Edit the `get_latency_data()` or `get_performance_data()` functions to:
+- Load from your own metrics files
+- Add new systems/components to compare
+- Modify metric categories
+
+## Integration
+
+Charts are automatically referenced in README.md and can be embedded in documentation.
