Nice representations of multiplication tables

This is python scripts that automates the generation of diagrams based on Mickaël Launay's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X49VQgi86E

In his video, he explains how we the classical multiplication tables we all know and love can be drawn in a very beautiful way, such as the one below:

Example:

Let' say we wanted to generate the table of 23 mod 57: If we are in Jupyter's notebook, then we can display it as follows:

from tables import Table
a = Table(23,57,put_numbers=False,size=1000,step=0.01, color="#0d6d4d",)
a.draw

Alternatively, we can also save the file with:

a.save("path")

Generating the example

To generate this particular example, just pull the repo and run it:

git pull https://github.com/marhu98/Modular-Tables.git
cd Modular-Tables
make runExample

Then look in the folder gifs

Here is how you can generate a new image:

Here is how you can generate an animation:

• Generate all the svg
• Use cairo to convert them to png. Here there is a Dockerfile that will do it for you if don't want to set up Cairo
• Use imageio to generate the gif

Important:

Graphics are generated in svg format, to make gifs follow the steps below.

In jupyter you can just call the animate method:

a = Animate_mod(4,[3,200],put_numbers=False,size=500, color="#0d6d4d")
a.animate()
