Drawing a Cartesian coordinate system in python: the easiest way :)

So it turns out that I couldn’t find a good library to draw Cartesian coordinates, points, lines, vectors, and all sorts of geometric figures in Python. Also, when I first wrote this blog post, I thought almost no one would ever read it – because who wants to draw Cartesian coordinates in Python? But it turns out that there are thousands of you out there who did find it useful 😮 (mind = blown) … So I ended up organizing all these scripts into a library.

It is hosted on pip – so everybody can use it – and it’s called pyGeom2D.

Here is how you would draw a Cartesian coordinate system with pyGeom2D.

 

Step 1: Install pyGeom2D like any other Python library

pip install pyGeom2D

 

Step 2: Draw your Cartesian coordinate system

from pygeom import Axes, Point

# Create the cartesian axis
axes = Axes(xlim=(-5,5), ylim=(-5,5), figsize=(9,8))
axes.draw()

 

Not so bad, right? 😀

For more details on the other capabilities of PyGeom2D, the github repository is here. I am planning to add more features as time goes by but my schedule is a bit crazy so please free to fork, merge request, etc. The more the merrier!
