Commands from dictionary

[scott_liddle]

Hi, firstly i'm gonna be honest and say that this is homework for my programming class, but the teacher doesn't have a problem with us using the internet to get help aslong as we dont blatantly steal code.

The problem is to take a text file containing for example the following:

position 50 10
line 50 0
line 0 50
line -50 0
line 0 -50

and interpret these into python drawing commands (this case would be a square).

I'm totally stuck with what to do here to write this program, all i've got at the moment is a little code to actually read the text file:

f = open("test1.txt","r")
for line in f:
    print line,
    line = line.strip()
    data = split(line, " ")

but i've got no idea at all where to go from here. Obviously i'm not asking for a complete solution, but a point in the right direction would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Do you have a library that you're supposed to be using for the drawing? If not, you might want to look in to tk.

#!/usr/bin/env python

from Tkinter import *

tk = Tk()
tk.wm_geometry("400x400")

canvas = Canvas(tk, width=400, height=400)
canvas.pack()

canvas.create_line(0,0,400,400)
canvas.create_line(400,0,0,400)

tk.mainloop()

Sorry, yeah we've got a Canvas module, the functions that we've to use for this are:

create_oval(x1,y1,x2,y2)
create_line( x1, y1, x2, y2)
and a function for position & for move also.

Okay, so it looks like you need a few variables, for the current x and y of the "paintbrush", then you can loop over your data which will be in the format: (command, x, y)

do a bunch of ifs for the commmand, i.e.

if command == "line":
    <paint the line>

then at the end set your new x and y to be where your brush left off.

In order to help you without giving ready answer here is your code adapted to do math functions from textfile:

import math
f = open("funcs.txt","r")
for line in f:
    print line,
    line = line.strip()
    data = line.split(" ")
    if data[0] in dir(math) and len(data) == 2:
        print eval("math.%s(%s)" % tuple(data))
    else:
        print 'Incorrect data'
    print

example data:

sqrt 4
sin 23
tan 56.0
cot 3
factorial 123

sqrt 4
2.0

sin 23
-0.846220404175

tan 56.0
-0.611273688192

cot 3
Incorrect data

factorial 123
12146304367025329675766243241881295855454217088483382315328918161829235892362167668831156960612640202170735835221294047782591091570411651472186029519906261646730733907419814952960000000000000000000000000000

I've look into your assignment and I've come up with a possible module.
I'll post the code below, and an attachament with the .txt containing the positions.
Please, report me if there were any bugs inside the program, 'cose I'm a noob @ Python, and I don't want to miss any chance of learning from my miTSAkes:D

Note that the elements from the .txt file must be with that configuration, meaning you can change only the values, NOT the strings.
