LIF Analytics and Visuals

Provides a cli tool to read in LIF files (JSON) and visualize them using network x.

Installation

This tool can be installed via pip:

sudo pip install .

Dependencies

This tool relies on the following python packages:

• networkx
• matplotlib

Usage

Call the tool using:

lif_visualizer -f <path to the LIF JSON file>

After that you can choose one of the available layouts by entering the corresponding number into the console and pressing enter.

Optional Arguments:

• --hide-overlapping -> If set, hide overlapping station texts in the graph

Legend and color maps

A simple layout is represented as follows:

The color of a node can either be:

• Grey : A normal node without a station marked for interaction
• Green : This node allows for interaction with a station

If a node allows for an interaction with a station, the station name is shown next to the node itself. Note: If a station has multiple interaction nodes close to each other the text might overlap. This can be fixed by hiding overlapping text

The color of an edge indicates whether the node has to be traversed facing forwards or backwards:

• Black : This edge needs to be traversed while going forward
• Red : This edge needs to be traversed while going backwards
