What’s on the Pythonista menu? Yep, sliders! Side dish of booleans, integers and floats
I built this app and am running this app on my iPad. Credit to: mikaelho / pythonista – gestures tdamdouni / Pythonista Pythonista / slider / SliderWithLabel_danrcook.py The video shows an app with 8 inputs — 2 integer, 4 float, 2 boolean. Numeric input is tedious — at best; slider input is easier and offers positive feedback. In this […]
ASCE 7-16 Ice Loading using Pythonista 10/2018
The Pythonista UI makes development easy — almost fun See video link. I built this app and am running this app on my iPhone. I also built a version for my iPad — simple to accommodate. User can: Filter and select from ~2000 standard AISC shapes Calculate ice weight for any type of AISC shape at […]
AISC C Coefficient for Bolt Groups using Azure Jupyter Notebook 10/2018
I decided to try out Jupyter using Microsoft Azure (currently free). I’ve invested a couple days on this project including learning new notebook extensions and Interact widgets. And so far, so good. Pros Easy to use Well-documented Relatively trouble-free Cons Could have faster response times
get_next, get_prev, in Python OrderedDict 08/2018
I provide an example class based on an OrderedDict — with an adjunct dictionary to index to the next and prev OrderedDict entry. In my case, I have a rather static OrderedDict: it is a dictionary of AISC shape objects. The function set_prev_next() must be called after each operation that modifies OrderedDict. class MyClass(coll.OrderedDict): mynpdict […]
