SeatViewer

An application for reading and analyzing .csv files representing data from the RIT seat experiment

---

Usage

The file used with the program must match the expected format. If you don't have such a file, you may use generator.py to generate one (specify the output path of the random file as the first and only argument).

Include the path to the csv file as the first argument to the program. All other arguments are optional. Anything required to produce the graph will be asked in an interactive prompt. You can also use the -h flag to see the available command line options.

Running from source

Requirements:

• Python 3
• Tested on Debian Ubuntu and Windows 10

Setup:

• Clone the repository
• Install the required packages
  • pip3 install -r requirements.txt

You may run the program using Python or build it to a standalone executable.

To run with Python:

• python3 main.py /path/to/file.csv

Or, to see command line options:

• python3 main.py -h

You may also use PyInstaller to build the program to an executable. Note the following:

• PyInstaller cannot cross-compile; it must be compiled for the same platform as the one it is running on
• You must include the hidden import PIL._tkinter_finder or matplotlib will not work correctly
• On Windows, your Python3 Scripts folder must be set correctly in your environment variables

Use this command to compile:

• pyinstaller main.py --hidden-import='PIL._tkinter_finder' --onefile

This will generate the binary in the dist folder. Please do not commit this folder.

seatviewer's Issues

Date adjustment is non-optional

Generator.py generates timestamps as Unix timestamps instead of the correct format
