Sort_visualizer

Downloads

Sort_visualizer is a tool that will allow you to easily visualize any sorting algorithms

Install

pip install sort-visualizer

Usage

Short guide

  1. Install package
  2. Create .py and import package with from sort_visualizer import gui, algs
  3. Create your own sort (Or use ones you need from algs.py)
  4. Initialize gui object with gui.GUI()
  5. Add sorting algorithms to gui via test_gui.add_sort(NAME, SORT_CLASS)

To add from algs.py simply use test_gui.add_sort('Bubble', algs.BubbleSort), for example

  1. Run gui with test_gui.run()

How to write your own sort

In order to visualize your own sort you need to create a class that inherits from algs.Sort and implement execute(self) method.

To access array use self.array.

Every object in self.array is a Rectangle class instance. To access associated value use .height attribute.

Visual functions:

  • When an element changed its value use self.redraw()
  • When swapping two elements of the array use self.swap_rects(rect1: Rectangle, rect2: Rectangle)

(Please note that swap_rects function only applies visual part, you still need to actually swap the values in array)

In test.py you can find example of creating your own algorithm and actually run python test.py` to see how it works.
