Make D3 Calendar Views in python.
Data must be supplied in this format:
data = [{'year':2013,'month':11,'day':05, 'value':412}
{'year':2013,'month':11,'day':06, 'value':221}]
Data must not contain duplicate dates, as they will be overwritten.
Usage can be as simple as this:
import pycalview
calendar = pycalview.CalView(data, True, False, True)
calendar.render()
calendar.save('default settings')
or as complex as this:
import pycalview
calendar = pycalview.CalView(data, False, False, True)
calendar.min_color = 'blue'
calendar.max_color = 'red'
calendar.cell_color = '#F5F5F5'
calendar.text_color = 'black'
calendar.background_color = 'white'
calendar.render()
calendar.save('temperatures')
In the line calendar = pycalview.CalView(data, True, False, True), you're passing the following arguments:
- Data (in the format specified above)
- A boolean that tells the class whether or not to draw individual days in the calendar cells. (True == display days)
- A boolean that tells the class whether to use the median (good for values) or the max(good for frequency) to determine the cells' alphas. (True == Use median)
- A boolean that tells the class whether to calculate the alpha for each year in isolation or all together. (True == Same scale for all)
Other easily-customizable fields are:
- min_color
- max_color
- text_color
- cell_color
- background_color
- dpi = 300
