PlayVis
PlayVis is a application for analyzing and visualizing character interactions in plays. We use Python with NLTK as our backend application for generating our json file and d3.js for visualizing our data.
Dependencies
Please ensure that you have enchant
and nltk
installed on your system prior to running this application.
To install these run:
pip install enchant, nltk
Instructions for Running
To generate a json:
python main.py path/to/play_file.txt
This will populate a file called output.txt
in the same directory. To then visualize this, copy output.txt
into vis/
and then load vis/
onto an apache web server.
Hit the webserver and load index.html
to view the visualization. Simply replace output.txt with any other output from main.py
to visualize other plays.
