Visualization

May 7, 2016 ยท View on GitHub

We provide scripts for viewing the output of the compute_exclusivity.py script in an interactive web application.

Setup

The visualization scripts have additional dependencies that must be installed.

  1. Python. The web application is run using a Tornado web server. Install the required modules in requirements.txt using the following command:

     pip install -r requirements.txt

  2. Node, NPM, and Bower. We use Bower to manage Javascript and CSS dependencies. You can install Bower using the Node Package Manager (NPM), which requires Node.js to be installed. Once NPM is installed, install Bower and then use Bower to install the dependencies:

     npm install -g bower
 bower install

If successful, this will create a directory bower_components.

Usage

First, use generate_viz_data.py to generate a JSON file(s) which will serve as the input for the web server.

Then, run server.py to start the web server. By default, it will serve the web application port 8000, which you can view by pointing your browser to http://localhost:8000.

For additional details on usage and the arguments to the two scripts, please see the wiki.
