This project implements the Vogel's Approximation method to solve the Transport Problem.

📈 Vogel's Approximation Method

About

This project aims to solve a Transport Problem for the Linear Programming class using an algorithm that implements the Vogel's Approximation method.

Technologies

• Python

Requirements

To run and edit the project, be sure to have installed in your computer the following softwares:

• Python
• A code editor

After that, you'll need to clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/eppica/Vogels-Approximation-Method.git

Setup

Inside the project directory, create a virtual environment (venv)

At the cmd, type:

python -m venv ./venv

After that you should see a venv directory.

To run commands using venv, go to Scripts directory inside venv:

Vogels-Approximation-Method
│   main.py
│   ...
└─── 🗀 venv
     └─── 🗀 Scripts
          │   activate

To use the virtual environment, run:

activate

Then, using the virtual environment, install the project requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

That will prevent you to install the libs in the local computer, and it will be available only on the project scope.

Editing

Whenever you install a new library, you need to update the requirements.txt file.

At the cmd, run:

pip freeze > requirements.txt

Running

venv:

To see the project running, inside the virtual environment at cmd, run:

python main.py

vogels-approximation-method's Issues

Output iterations in console with tabulate

Output each iteration table coloring the current lines and columns to be modified

Output iterations in .xlsx file

Output each iteration table to a .xlsx file coloring the current modified line and column

Refactor code

Remove very similar functions and guarantee that the IDE does not identify any code repetitions

Write README.md

Write README.md explaining how to run, the problem and motivation of the project

Model the problem

Given the proposed problem, model according to the pattern used in the program

Update README.md with 'how to use'

Add section 'how to use' where it explains the basic functionality of the program, what the options of the menu means and give an example.

Implement initial screen

Implement initial screen with a header and a menu where the user can choose to output the iterations to a .xlsx, if he wants to see the iterations in console and choose the program he wants to run from the problems directory.
