Image 1 of 1: ‘A visual representation of the above process showing the rule definitions, with arrows added to indicate the order wildcards and placeholders are substituted. Blue arrows start from the input of the `plot_avg_plaquette` rule, which are the files `intermediary_data/beta1.8/pg.plaquette.json.gz`, `intermediary_data/beta2.0/pg.plaquette.json.gz`, and `intermediary_data/beta2.2/pg.plaquette.json.gz`, then point down from components of the filename to wildcards in the output of the `avg_plaquette` rule. Orange arrows then track back up through the shell parts of both rules, where the placeholders are, and finally back to the target output filename at the top.’
