Cadavre Exquis SVG!

Cadavre Exquis

Free License / Linux Pipeline / Production pipeline

Visualizing dance reviews

Inkscape
SVG+XML
Geometry, Intersection / Extraction

An introduction to using lxml to manipulate a structure like SVG?

Graphviz to SVG
Mapping (OpenStreetMap) to SVG?

(need tips on other sources of SVG)

Wikipedia, Gutenberg, Librivox, Open Clip Art
Cadavre Exquis SVG
SVG

Source + Tweak...

Python as a tweaking tool

Assignment: To alter an existing SVG, either: (1) Generated from software (2) Obtained from online (open clip art, street maps? ...) (3) Place back online with an appropriate license...

An exercise in Performative Language

Declarative vs. Procedural Languages (Handout!)

View: Put-That-There

Code readings
Moving up and down the hierarchy ... maybe link to Danny Hillis Pattern in the Stone text / presentation?!

Signicant and non-obvious idea: with free software, one really (can) begin with the code and use the code itself as documentation (it sometimes is the best / only documentation).

Performing a script

The concept of a "PATH"
- Creating a "bin" folder, ensuring it's in the path.
- Creating a "pythonlib" folder and adding it to the PYTHONPATH

building a video Sniff / downloader

Claiming the terminal

gtypist:
- Typing
- GNU
- Fortune
- .bashrc

(though... ktouch is better)

Open .bash_aliases in your HOME directory, and add:

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$HOME/pythonlib

Rudimentary understanding of BASH scripts
Make a PDF of a man page
midge/midi output

Bash

what is a script?

what is a variable?

what is a loop?
