Preamble

from plotapi import Terminus

Terminus.set_license("your username", "your license key")

Introduction

Let's take a look at the bundled parameter. This will group together the input, giving the impression that they are entering through the same pipe.

As we can see, we have set our license details in the preamble with Terminus.set_license().

Dataset

Terminus expects a list of dictionary items, these will define the flow of pixels between a source and a target.

links = [
    {"source":"England", "target":"Germany", "value": 1000},
    {"source":"England", "target":"France", "value": 3000},
    {"source":"England", "target":"Spain", "value": 5000},
    {"source":"England", "target":"Italy", "value": 4000},
    {"source":"England", "target":"Japan", "value": 800},

    
    {"source":"Ireland", "target":"Germany", "value": 3500},
    {"source":"Ireland", "target":"France", "value": 3750},
    {"source":"Ireland", "target":"Spain", "value": 1750},
    {"source":"Ireland", "target":"Italy", "value": 5000},
    {"source":"Ireland", "target":"Japan", "value": 400},
]

We can add many source's and target's! As they increase, we may need to adjust Terminus layout properties to accomodate the diagram's size and throughput.

Visualisation

To enable bundled pipes, all we need to do is set bundled to True.

Here we're using .show() which outputs to a Jupyter Notebook cell, however, we may want to output to a HTML file with .to_html() instead. More on the different output methods later!

Terminus(links, bundled=True).show()
