Binary heat map generator
Project description
GitHub | PyPI | Issues | Changelog
binheat converts a description of a binary relation into a PDF image of the relation as a binary heat map (a.k.a. matrix display, adjacency matrix, comparison chart, and probably a bunch of other names as well; see below for an example).
Each line of the input (except for blank lines and comments, which are ignored) must be of the form x<TAB>y<TAB>z..., denoting pairs (x, y), (x, z), etc. in the binary relation.
In the output table, the values from the first column of each input line become the labels of the table’s rows, and the values from the second input column onwards become the labels of the table’s columns. This can be reversed with the --transpose option.
Installation
binheat requires Python 3.4 or higher. Just use pip for Python 3 (You have pip, right?) to install binheat and its dependencies:
python3 -m pip install binheat
Usage
binheat [<OPTIONS>] [<infile> [<outfile>]]
Input is read from <infile> (defaulting to standard input), and the resulting PDF is written to <outfile> (defaulting to <infile> with its file extension changed to .pdf, or to standard output if <infile> is standard input).
Options
-C <file>, --column-labels <file> — Use the lines in <file> (after discarding blank lines & comments) in the order they appear as column labels (or row labels if --transpose is in effect). Any pairs in the input whose second column does not appear in <file> are discarded.
-F <font>, --font <font> — Typeset text in the given font. <font> must be either the name of a builtin PostScript font or the path to a .ttf file. By default, text is typeset in Times-Roman.
-f <size>, --font-size <size> — Set the text size to <size> (default 12).
-R <file>, --row-labels <file> — Use the lines in <file> (after discarding blank lines & comments) in the order they appear as row labels (or column labels if --transpose is in effect). Any pairs in the input whose first column does not appear in <file> are discarded.
--sort/--no-sort — Whether to list labels in the output in lexical order rather than in the order in which they appear in the input file; default: --no-sort
-T, --transpose — The output will be transposed — i.e., the first column of the input will be used for the output table’s column labels, and the second input column onwards will be used for the table’s row labels.
Example
The following input file:
NUL (\0, 0x00)<TAB>iscntrl 0x01..0x06<TAB>iscntrl BEL (\a, 0x07)<TAB>iscntrl BS (\b, 0x08)<TAB>iscntrl TAB (\t, 0x09)<TAB>iscntrl<TAB>isspace<TAB>isblank LF (\n, 0x0A)<TAB>iscntrl<TAB>isspace VT (\v, 0x0B)<TAB>iscntrl<TAB>isspace FF (\f, 0x0C)<TAB>iscntrl<TAB>isspace CR (\r, 0x0D)<TAB>iscntrl<TAB>isspace 0x0E..0x1F<TAB>iscntrl SPACE (0x20)<TAB>isprint<TAB>isspace<TAB>isblank !"#$%&'()*+,-./<TAB>isprint<TAB>isgraph<TAB>ispunct 0123456789<TAB>isprint<TAB>isgraph<TAB>isalnum<TAB>isdigit<TAB>isxdigit :;<=>?@<TAB>isprint<TAB>isgraph<TAB>ispunct ABCDEF<TAB>isprint<TAB>isgraph<TAB>isalnum<TAB>isalpha<TAB>isupper<TAB>isxdigit GHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ<TAB>isprint<TAB>isgraph<TAB>isalnum<TAB>isalpha<TAB>isupper [\]^_`<TAB>isprint<TAB>isgraph<TAB>ispunct abcdef<TAB>isprint<TAB>isgraph<TAB>isalnum<TAB>isalpha<TAB>islower<TAB>isxdigit ghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz<TAB>isprint<TAB>isgraph<TAB>isalnum<TAB>isalpha<TAB>islower {|}~<TAB>isprint<TAB>isgraph<TAB>ispunct DEL (0x7F)<TAB>iscntrl
