In one of my previous posts, related to this topic, I shared the code and concept of reading polygon data and how to render them on screen with additional user-interaction. The post is linked below: Working with Polygon Data (Python) In this post, I share how to generate the data points for a polygon easily […]

Working with Polygon Data (Python)
In this post, I’ll show how to write a program that reads x,y coordinates for a complex shape (Polygon) from an external source. Then recreate the shape on a canvas with some interactivity. The application’s action clip is below: In the above clip, I’m reading datafiles that contain the coordinates as a series of contiguous […]
Color Codes Datafile and Dynamic, Interactive Patterns-Making (Python)
UPDATE: BONUS animation added at end of this post. In this post, I’ll demonstrate how to read color values (stored as Hex) from a data file and create dynamic patterns using those colors. Additionally, user can interact with it to choose different patterns, and even shuffle the same colors in different orders as they were […]
Bars within bars: Creating an Effectual Custom Chart
In this post, I’ll share some tips on how to create a visually impactful bar chart, rather bars within a bar in Excel that does not come out of the box, that can convey much information in an uncluttered way. There are several steps we need to take in order to take Excel’s built-in charts […]
Organizing raw dataset to creating impactful, interactive visualizations (Excel, PowerBI)
In this post, I’ll walk through the steps starting with a raw dataset that’s organized differently from what I need, to reshaping the data using Excel formulas, and creating an interactive visualization using PowerBI, to publishing it online using PowerBI. Excel and PowerBI work hand-in-hand to solve such problems effectively, and efficiently. First, I’ll start […]
Speech Recognition and back (using AI/Python)
In one of my earlier blogs, I shared tips on how to build a Text-To-Speech application in Python, which you can read in the post: Interactive Text-To-Speech App… In this post, I’ll show you the reverse…where we can take our voice, and even an audio-recording, and transcript them into English text. Once I do that, […]
How to find the most occurring words in a document?
Every now and then I see in technical forums questions such as this: How do I find the most occurring word in my Word document? Or PDF document? Or Emails? etc. The question is a valid one if that’s something you’re curious about or need to find out in your professional role. In this blog, […]
Interactive Text-To-Speech App with Presidents of USA (Python)
In this blog, I’ll discuss how to build an interactive lookup of data and have the results spoken back to you in human language. Specifically, I have a list of all POTUS to-date in a file (Excel, CSV, Text…they’ll work without any code design change). I want to be able to lookup the very first […]
Turning visual map results into a database/dataset
I often get questions such as: “How do I export Google business data into a database?” or “How do I import Google locations data into an Excel sheet?” They’re both pointing to the same need. The scenario is that we can search on Google Maps or Bing Maps or just on any online Search engine […]
Morse code translator (Python)
In one of my earlier posts, I described how to take text and generate Morse code. For details on that, see Text to Morse: codes and sound generation (Python). In this post, I’ll do the reverse. The application will take Morse code symbols and translate into English text. First, let’s start with a fun fact. […]
