pypikchr 0.1.0

Python wrapper for the pikchr markup language.

pypikchr

pypikchr is a small Python wrapper for the Pikchr diagramming language. It allows you to embed Pikchr diagrams within Python applications.

The goal is to eventually support the range of features available in pikchr, in a "Pythonic" way. See the pikchr docs for more information and examples.

Basic Usage

Example for usage after installation.

Construct basic sequences

from pypikchr.diagram import *

# Create a diagram
d = Diagram(direction=Direction.down)

# Create some objects - the input string is the text you see in the shape
# Provide a label so it is easy to refer to it when chaining together
# Be careful! Labels must be capital letters!
b1: Box = Box("Box 1").label("B1")

# Can also adjust fill
c1: Circle = Circle("Circle 1").label("C1").fill("orange")

# Add shapes into the diagram
d.add(b1)
d.add(c1)

# Link shapes together
d.add(Arrow().from_pos(b1.s).to_pos(c1.n).dashed())

# Generated markdown
print(d.md)

# Generated SVG HTML
print(d)

The above script will print the following to console:

B1: box "Box 1";
C1: circle "Circle 1" fill orange;
arrow from b1.s to c1.n dashed
