greengraph

The first assignment for the Research Software Engineering with Python module at UCL. This Python package uses Google Maps to plot “urbanisation” (green pixels intensity) between two specified locations. The program accepts four arguments: First location name, second location name, number of steps between locations and name of the output file.

##Installation The package can be installed using pip:

pip install git+git://github.com/janzmazek/greengraph.git

or if you want a local copy of the repository

git clone https://github.com/janzmazek/greengraph.git

python setup.py install

##Usage The package can be run using command line with command greengraph. To specify input arguments, use

• --from (or –f): starting location,
• --to (or –t): ending location,
• --steps (or –s): number of steps between the locations,
• --out or (–o): name of the output file. Example:

greengraph --from “Ljubljana” --to “London” --steps 50 --out “plot.png”
