A Python package to create and visualize Wardley Maps

Project description

WardleyMap

WardleyMap is a Python package designed for creating and visualizing Wardley Maps. Wardley Maps provide a visual representation of the strategic landscape and the positioning of components within it, facilitating better decision-making in business strategy and technology development.

Features

  • Parse and interpret Wardley Map syntax.
  • Visualize maps using matplotlib for easy integration into Python workflows.
  • Export maps to SVG format for embedding in web applications or documents.
  • Streamlit integration for interactive web-based map visualization.

Installation

Install wardleymap using pip:

pip install wardleymap

Ensure you have Python 3.6 or newer installed.

Quick Start

To create and visualize a Wardley Map, follow these steps:

from wardleymap import wardlemap

# Define the structure of your Wardley Map using a string.
map_definition = """
title Business Value Chain
anchor Customer [0.95, 0.9]
component User Needs [0.8, 0.8]
component Website [0.6, 0.6]
component Hosting [0.3, 0.4]
User Needs -> Website
Website -> Hosting
"""

# Process the Wardley Map text and generate a plot of the map
map, map_plot = wardley(map=map_text)

# Convert the map plot into an SVG
svg_map = create_svg_map(map_plot)

component User Needs [0.8, 0.8]
component Website [0.6, 0.6]
component Hosting [0.3, 0.4]
User Needs -> Website
Website -> Hosting
"""

# Process the Wardley Map text and generate a plot of the map
map, map_plot = wardley(map=map_text)

# Convert the map plot into an SVG
svg_map = create_svg_map(map_plot)
