Algorithm Visualizer for Jupyter/IPython Notebook.

It was inspired by parkjs814's AlgorithmVisualizer.

You can see how your Python code works.

If you use the display(TracerObject) code from where you want to see, you can use it without any special modification.

Supports built-in list methods.

Development Status

Pre-Alpha

Todo

  • Add more tracer api
  • Support non-built-in data type in python

Installation

Requirement
  • Jupyter/IPython Notebook (Python3.x)
To install use pip:
$ pip install ipytracer
$ jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix ipytracer

For a development installation (requires npm),

Pre installation

$ npm install -g webpack
Installation
$ git clone https://github.com/sn0wle0pard/ipytracer.git $ cd ipytracer $ pip install -e . $ jupyter nbextension install --py --symlink --sys-prefix ipytracer $ jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix ipytracer

Bubble Sort

import ipytracer
from IPython.core.display import display

def bubblesort(unsortedlist): x = ipytracer.ChartTracer(unsorted_list) display(x) length = len(x)-1 for i in range(length): for j in range(length-i): if x[j] > x[j+1]: x[j], x[j+1] = x[j+1], x[j] return x.tolist()

bubble_sort([6,4,7,9,3,5,1,8,2])
