Learning the use of Python, Numpy, MatPlotLib, and other data visualization tools

Training_PythonData

Creating a small console application for working with test data and visualization tools. The purpose of the code is not to necessarily create a final project but to learn Python packages. The packages used insofar include Numpy and MatPlotLib.

Requirements

• Numpy, install from a prompt using: pip install numpy
• MatPlotLib, install from a prompt using: pip install matplotlib
• Data file from AndroSense--an Android app for tracking sensor data. This should be a CSV file.
• The AndroSense file should be located somewhere on the computer you are running the script from.
• Obtain the absolute path of this file, minding to replace "" with "\". You will need it in the Quick-Start.

Quick-Start

• Enter code of MatPlotLib.py and change the file location to your own AndroSense data file.
• With Python installed and the PATH set up... run the following in the command line (ensure the current working directory contains the script): python MatPlotLib.py
• Graphics should display, or follow the prompts to view data.

Key Notes

• The code is VERY heavily documented for the benefit of the code reader
• Code review is the primary purpose of this project

Further Development

• Implement additional algorithms
• Check for empty data
• Allow more inputs
• Allow user to choose a file from a file dialoge
